Anthropology 109: World Prehistory

A guide to basic information resources on World Prehistory, Anthropology 109.

Anthropology Databases

The databases listed here are among the best to use when performing research in Anthropology. For an expanded listing of possible resources, see the Anthropology listing in the Electronic Databases by Subject.

On JSTOR remember to select "Anthropology" under Subjects to limit your results to this field.

On AnthroSource you will often be asked if you want to "Use Token." Always use the token (that's why we have them!) but remember where you save the file. You should put it in Google Drive or email it to yourself. You don't want to have to use another token to download the same article again.

Anthropological Index Online is a great way to find article citations, but it will not give you the full text. 

If the article’s full text is not immediately available, search for it by full title in TigerSearch or on Google Scholar. If we do not have access to it, you can request the article via Sewanee ILL, our interlibrary loan program. Usually, you'll get the article in 1-2 business days.
