Potential Next Steps

  • Read the sources you’ve found so far and identify gaps in your knowledge or new directions for additional searching.
     
  • Try new searches (using different keywords) in Anthropology Plus or JumpStart.
     
  • Search additional databases from the database list (https://libguides.dickinson.edu/az.php) including:
    • JSTOR
    • Anthrosource
    • Scopus
       
  • Review the bibliography or sources cited section of the information you already have for additional relevant sources.
     
  • Consider "letting go” of some of the sources you’ve found, replacing them with ones that better illustrate what scholars have said about your selected archaeological culture, and the types of evidence used to support scholars’ claims.
