Style: Plains Anthropologist follows the Chicago Manual of Style for overall style, including in-text references, notes, punctuation, usage, and headings. Use a single space after periods. The bibliography, however, should follow the format of American Antiquity (Vol. 57, No. 4, 1992).
Illustrations and tables: Figures (line drawings, photographs, and other graphics) and tables should be numbered and referenced sequentially in the text. Copies of figures should be submitted with the original manuscript. Include a list of captions on a separate sheet. Do not incorporate captions or titles in the artwork itself. Upon acceptance, figures and tables should be submitted either in digital format or as hard copies. Digital images should be saved in TIF format. For hard copies, line drawings should be carefully drawn in ink on good quality white paper or tracing medium, photographic prints for halftone plates should be submitted unmounted and numbered lightly on the back in pencil, and photographs should have good contrast. Authors should be aware that figures may have to be reduced.
