Question by : Can someone give me an example of an AAA in-text citation?
AAA-American Anthropological Association.
I thought that the AAA used Chicago Manual Style, but as far as I knew Chicago doesn’t use in-text citations…any help would be greatly appreciated!

A Brief History of the AAA Guide
The AAA Guide to Departments of Anthropology was first published in 1962, in response to an Executive Board directive to publish a volume that would “assist students who want to go into the field, by providing such basic information as degrees offered; name, rank and specialties of the staff; basic strengths of the graduate programs, including number of courses offered in geographic areas and specialties; and where to write for catalogues and other information.” The first AAA Guide totaled 50 pages, the size of a small pamphlet.
The AAA Guide grew–in 1963, the Board directed a listing of PhD dissertations in anthropology to be published in the AAA Guide; in 1967 a listing of all AAA members was added (and subsequently dropped the following year), and the departmental program descriptions were expanded. The 1967 AAA Guide totaled 214 pages.
A grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research enabled the AAA Guide to expand again, in 1968-70. New sections included (1) listings of undergraduate programs offering a major or concentration in anthropology [prior to this the AAA Guide had only listed graduate programs], (2) a table summarizing which institutions gave how many degrees, (3) dates of highest degrees of individuals listed in the AAA Guide, with names of institutions giving them and (4) museums with anthropology programs. The 1970 AAA Guide numbered 266 pages.
In 1974, a new section was added to the AAA Guide, listing research and nonacademic departments. The AAA Guide expanded gradually from 1974 to 1989, but its basic structure and arrangement of information remained the same.
And then, in 1989 . . .
And then, in 1989, the AAA Guide underwent a major transformation. New sections, listing the names and addresses of all AAA members, names of members in the AAA units, and departmental listings for community colleges were added to the AAA Guide.
To accommodate the new information, a change in format was necessary, and the AAA Guide grew from 6″ x 9″ to 8-1/2″ x 11″. It also changed names–from the AAA Guide to Departments of Anthropology to The AAA Guide (subtitle: “A Guide to Departments/A Directory of Members”). The pages were redesigned in a double-column format, with a new type face and different fonts to improve legibility. Full-bleed divider pages were inserted, to allow the reader to bend the edge of the book and locate the different sections easily. Running heads were added, and new covers were designed to improve the appearance of the volume.
