Show MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS This issue welcomes Bob Kohl to the editorship of UTAH ARCHAEOLOGY! Bob's name is familiar to the readers of UTAH ARCHAEOLOGY as he has been active in supplying useful reviews of various archaeological texts since the inception of the journal. Bob replaces Steve Manning who served as the USAS editor for the Fist three issues and made many contributions to the high quality of the journal ( pardon us for slapping our own backs). We thank Steve for all his efforts and significant contributions. Steve has agreed to continue to assist the editors by providing his excellent drawings of Utah rock art to illustrate the journal. In UTAH ARCHAEOLOGY 1991 readers will see the addition of a new category of papers that we are calling Notes. This category is designed to include descriptions of significant, enigmatic , or just interesting items of material culture from Utah. All of us in archaeology are aware of finds that are functionally puzzling and wonder if others have insights or have encountered similar artifacts, remains, roct art, et.. The Notes section is intended to be descriptive rather than analytical or comparative and does not require extensive knowledge of archaeological reports. The Notes need to focus only on the items being reported. Consequently, few references ( bibliography) are needed. What is most important in this section are good, accurate drawings or clear black and white photos of the items being described. The intent of this addition is two- fold: first, we hope that by encouraging the publication of such information some of these puzzles might be solved. Second, we hope that such a section will encourage greater participation in the journal by both amateurs and professional. As mentioned above, the Notes section requires little in the way of comparative material; however, should references to the literature be made, those references need to follow the same style as for the rest of journal ( see Style Guide on inside back cover). The editors can help authors with those housekeeping chores; however. We hope you enjoy and will contribute liberally to this and the other sections of UTAH ARCHAEOLOGY! Joel C. Janetski, editor for UPAC Robert B. Kohl, editor for USAS South- central Utah |
