The Central States Archaeological Societies, Inc. is a non-profit organization and has no paid
officers or employees.
Our mission is to develop a better understanding among professional and non-professional collectors
of archaeological material, students, museums and institutions of learning, and to further this understanding by providing a means
of publishing articles of interest by both professional and amateur archaeologists.
With the help of members
from 19 state societies we
publish the
Central States Archaeological Journal four
times per year. (view selected journal articles)

Your Central States Archaeological Journal is more than just a magazine,
more than the leading archaeological publication in the United States.
It is the voice of you -- the members. It is your means of reporting
that important site or discovery that you have made. Too often a
great discovery is not reported and the information and history are
lost
forever. Perhaps the piece you found might be the missing link that
some professional archaeologist is looking for. It could be the direct
tie-in to another report that is more important than you realize.
Use your Journal by sending good clear photographs and reports to your
Editor-in-Chief.
Webster says a magazine is “a periodical publication”.
He says a Journal is “a record of events.” Well, perhaps
we are a bit of both, but mostly we record the discoveries and events
of our members. I always think of a magazine as a publication that
accepts advertisements and publishes just about everything. We do not
print advertisements and only print articles and photos pertaining
to archaeology. Since we have no advertisements, our only source of
revenue is from your dues.
This journal is the fruit of the labors of many. From
your efforts at photography and writing, the editor’s job of
putting it together, to the addressing and mailing, many hours are
involved.
We hope you
are proud of it. All it costs is $21.00 per year for a membership
in your society. The Journal is sent to you free if you are a member
of
one of the affiliated Central States Societies. Can you find a better
bargain? Can you afford to be without it?
