STYLE GUIDE
The American Anthropological Association provides the following information for authors who write for any of its publications. Do not use any other style guide (e.g., MLA, APA, etc.).

The American Anthropological Association (AAA or Association) uses The Chicago Manual of Style, Webster's Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary, and AAA style rules for all books and journals edited and produced in-house by the AAA Publications Department. To avoid problems of plagiarism, be sure to acknowledge sources used in your paper, and to do this you must follow the style of the AAA for citations and references cited. As published by the Association, full style directions (e.g., rules for punctuation, capitalization, etc.) are much more detailed than you need to be concerned about here.

References
AAA Reference Style is as follows, punctuation/italics as indicated. All references must be cited in author-date form; all author-date citations must be referenced. Use full first names when possible for authors and editors (but not if author goes by initials). Use space between initials: T. S. Eliot In book reviews and other reviews, references are handled in text instead of at end of chapter. Use "et al." in text citations of 3 or more authors.
In References Cited, spell out all names. In in-text citations (author/date), use colon between year and page number instead of comma. For instance, use Waterman 1990:3-7 instead of Waterman 1990, 3-7 (exception to Chicago). Don't use state name with city of publication unless city is obscure or there are several with that name. Where state name is used, use two-letter postal code. Do not use ibid. for repeated references. Place text citations as near the author's name as possible; place quotation citations after the quote. When citing an author, put the year in parentheses, but when citing a work, put the year (and page numbers, if applicable) in the running text. Newspaper names used as authors in citations are italicized, but as authors in references they are roman. Cite a specific volume of a referenced work by inserting the volume number after the year (e.g., Waterman 1990, 2:3-7). If only one volume of the work is cited in article, reference only that volume and don't include volume number in citation.
