| The Museum of Peoples and Cultures produces three kinds of publications: Popular Series: These publications are intended for the average reader. The language is edited to be friendly to non-professional archaeologists. Occasional Papers: This is an edited and refereed series focusing on presenting archaeological research carried out by Brigham Young University. These texts are intended for a professional audience and tend to be quite technical. Technical Series: This series presents the results of archaeological work primarily done by the Office of Public Archaeology at BYU. All of the above publications may be pruchased at the Museum of Peoples and Cultures or ordered through the Publications Office at the MPC. The Occasional Papers and select Popular Series books are distributed primarily through the University of Utah Press.
