Anyone heard of the "Anthropological Journal of Canada"?

It was supposedly the quarterly bulletin of the "Anthropological Association of Canada", and was published from the 1950s to the early 80s. There's very little about it on the net, except some bound copies for sale, and some quotes by Creationist websites.

Both the "Journal" and the "Association" were founded by Thomas E. Lee, who I gather was in dispute with more mainstream anthropologists in Canada (represented by the Canadian Anthropological Society) over the dating of the Sheguiandah artifacts.

Was it a credible journal, or more an exercise in self-vindication by Lee, and later his son? Do any professional or academic anthropologists recall it?

  1. have heard of it and you would have to research the author and company who published the book for answers on that as far as what you were able to find on the net, everything is posted on here.............for a price, so if you want to look into it look into who published the book for answers possibly even getting a chance to write his relatives for a more concrete answer to your >?


  2. I don't know how it ranks credibility-wise, but it was taken seriously enough to be held by 146 libraries (mostly academic libraries).  Libraries who have issues include Wilfred Laurier, Univ of Western Ontario, Univ of Ottawa, Univ of Alberta, McGill Univ, Univ of Calgary, Canadian Museum of Civilization, Stanford, Univ of California, Yale, and Harvard.

    (I'm not an anthropologist, I'm a librarian.)
