101 individual issues of American Anthropologist scientific journal ranging in date from 1948 - 1979. This is by no means all the issues from that time period, but includes a good sample of the literature published by the leading practicing anthropologists of that time. Included in the collection ate journal issues with articles, commentaries, letters, etc., an occasional Memoir series in which an issue is devoted to the work of a single author, and a few indices for the series. These are in pretty remarkable condition for as old as some are, but have been kept dry and cool for many years. Most issues are in fine condition, stains on outer cover on a few.
