The following information is from American Anthropologist's style guide

In text citations
Each quotation or statement specific enough to need a reference requires a citation with author, year, and, in the case of quotations, page number. For more than three authors, use the first author's name followed by "et al.": (Manning et al. 1970:21–22). If the author of a quotation is clear from the text, then just the year of publication and the page numbers may follow the quote. Authors should check carefully that the page numbers cited in text fall within the page span listed in references cited. All text citations must have a matching entry in the Reference Cited section.

Block quotes:

Each bonfire of the effigy of Paine served to light up, in an unintended way, the difference between the constitution of the gentry and the rights of the people. "Church and king" actions signify less the blind pogrom of prejudice against an outgroup and more a skirmish in a political civil war. [Smith 1963:113]

Short quotes:

As she points out, "A society, even a village, has its own structure and history" (Smith 1984:143).

Referenced statements:

But as many critics have argued, class analysis, or what Ortner (1984) refers to as the capitalism-centered view, often devotes too little attention to human agency.

In lists of citations, works by the same author should be separated by commas (Smith 1990, 1991:1, 1992); semicolons separate works by different authors (Smith 1990, 1992; Thomas 1992; Wilson 1993). Always place author names in alphabetical, not chronological, order.

 

5. References Cited

The text and notes are followed by the References Cited section, which includes only publications cited in the text; the list is not a bibliography. References Cited should begin on a separate page, and all entries must be double spaced, listed alphabetically by last name of senior author, and chronologically for two or more titles by the same author(s). In listing an unusual reference, include all information needed to enable a reader to identify and locate the source; when in doubt, include details, and the editors will delete any that are considered unnecessary.

For works in foreign languages, titles should be lowercased. For foreign publications, the city name is anglicized, but the publisher is not.

Please ensure that all author names and titles have been spelled correctly and consistently. Include proper accents in foreign names and article or book titles. Only capitalization should be changed from the original. Do not change anything else, even spelling or punctuation (see Chicago 7.126). Also check carefully that all references have been cited in the text and vice versa.
