I stopped by my local library today -- but they didn't have American Journal of Physical Anthropology. (I live between two towns that could tie in the smalltown competition, out on the Olympic Peninsula, in Washington State.)
We do have one college -- a community college -- and they are likely to have it. They would probably let me walk in and read but I doubt they'd let me check anything out since I'm not a student there.
Just on a whim I checked their website -- and it let me search their library, I think. Here was the only result for my title query:
Title: American journal of physical anthropology [microform]. Publisher: New York [etc.] A. R. Liss [etc.] Subject(s): Physical anthropology --Periodicals. Anthropology --Periodicals. Location: Microfilm cabinet Call Number: No call number available Status: No information available Local Holdings: 1918 - 1970
Is that what you have in mind? Looks like they have it on microfilm, clear through 1970.
Thanks,

Great area, one I am familiar with, but I would not expect to find a lot of professional journals in the local libraries.
But, most of the college libraries are beginning to use subscription services, which may have hundreds to thousands of journals available.
While they may only have the old microform copies on hand, they may have a subscription that will get you the new issues via an on-line service. You might check that out.
Sorry not to answer sooner--been out to some professional meetings.
