We are looking for manuscripts for consideration in Volume 36 of the Caddo Archeology Journal to be published next spring (2026).
The Caddo Archeology Journal is published once a year in March. Members receive a copy of the 2026 journal with their 2025 membership dues. The journal publishes articles, reports on current research, comments, and book reviews related to archeology in the Caddo homelands of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas, and to the history, language, and culture of the Caddo people. We welcome reports of current activities of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. Please submit manuscripts by November 30th to Mary Beth Trubitt, journal editor, at mtrubit@uark.edu.
This year’s volume will be dedicated to Dr. Timothy K. Perttula, respected scholar of Caddo archeology, who passed away earlier this year.
Articles should not normally exceed 10,000 words in length, including references. Reports should not exceed 5,000 words, including references. Prepare all submissions to follow the Society for American Archaeology’s Style Guide (2023 update).

After submission, article manuscripts will be sent out to a minimum of two reviewers, with reviewer comments requested within 30 days. Complete manuscripts (post-review/edits) should be finished by December 31st for placement in the 2026 volume.
