We are pleased to announce the creation of Anthropology & Archaeology Research Network (AARN). It will provide a worldwide, online community for research in all areas of anthropology and archaeology, following the model of other subject matter networks within SSRN.

We expect AARN to become a comprehensive online resource for research in anthropology and archaeology, providing scholars with access to current work in their field and facilitating research and scholarship.

AARN's founding director is:

Louise Lamphere, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emerita, University of New Mexico and Past President of the American Anthropological Association
