Finding Journal Articles
Many reports of excavations and other writings on archaeological subjects
are published in the form of journal articles. The following databases
index mainly or exclusively journal articles. Note dates
of earliest coverage.
- Google Scholar
Searches scholarly literature from AnthroSource, Project Muse, JSTOR, publishers and academic websites. Also searches academic websites and full-text Google Print books. Connect via the Library's Database page to access full text material to which the University Library subscribes. Be aware that Google Scholar is not comprehensive and many publishers are not searched. Search results are ranked by various criteria including how often the work has been cited in other scholarly works. This means there is a bias towards older, heavily-cited, seminal works rather than the latest publications.
Local Databases

Subject Heading Searching
- Subject headings are standardised terms or terminology that represent the major content of a particular work and can help increase the relevancy of your search results. Search for specific subject headings, or search for keywords in the Subject Heading field. Library Catalogue, Te Puna, and Anthropology Plus use Library of Congress Subject Headings.
- A complete list of Library of Congress Subject Headings is available in the General Library.
- Selected Library of Congress Subject Headings are listed below. Substitute other suburbs for Mount
Eden in the list. You can do a Guided Keyword search for the
suburb as a subject heading and look through the list for anything that might be
relevant.
Keyword searches work better in many cases especially when the
subject headings need to be combined.
