The journal focuses on Archaeology, Prehistory, Environmental ethics, Index (economics) and Art history. Issues in Archaeology were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Period (geology) and Ancient history. The Index (economics) works featured in it incorporate elements from Anthropology, Political economy and Media studies.
The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Archaeology, Prehistory, Ecology, Ethnology and Culture of the United States. The studies tackled in the journal articles, which mainly focus on Archaeology, apply to Period (geology) as well. The journal publications dive deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Culture of the United States and Social organization.
Archaeology, Art history, Humanities, Anthropology and Agriculture are among the topics commonly tackled in the journal. American Antiquity focuses on Archaeology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Indigenous and Arctic. American Antiquity connects research in Chronology with the related topic of Radiocarbon dating.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in American Antiquity (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in American Antiquity (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 61.72% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.65% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.24% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 32.65% of all publications and 22.45% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring social sciences and humanities in the USA offers diverse educational and career opportunities, particularly through flexible online programs. For those interested in information sciences, pursuing an ala-accredited program ensures quality training aligned with industry standards. This can open doors to career paths in libraries, archives, and information management.
Similarly, a masters in library science equips graduates with specialized knowledge for advanced roles in curation, digital resources, and knowledge organization.
On the undergraduate level, many opt for a sociology bachelor degree online, which provides foundational understanding of societal structures and behaviors. This degree prepares students for fields such as social research, community work, and human services.
For professionals aiming to support mental health and counseling, an online phd in counseling offers advanced expertise and career advancement while accommodating busy schedules.
These online degrees underscore the growing accessibility and variety within social sciences and humanities fields, catering to different interests and career goals.
