SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
This is rather a rag-bag of general resources, plus others that did not fit into my book's 'electronic companion'. I have not checked all of them recently, nor have I contacted the site-owners to tell them that they are linked to this page. If it is useful, fine; otherwise I suggest that you look at the most general resources (such as ArchNet and ARGE, which are listed below) and place book-marks in your browser. Last updated: 26/9/97.

This is my favourite search engine - it works best with 1-3 keywords (e.g. archaeology radiocarbon - no punctuation needed). Just cklick on the word Google below:
If you wish to find a simple starting point in the form of an article with critical comments, try the Special review section: Electronic archaeology from Antiquity - it includes Sara Champion's survey of archaeology on the World Wide Web.
The Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA) "...is
the professional organisation for
archaeologists. It was founded in 1982 to
advance the practice of archaeology and allied
disciplines by promoting professional
standards and ethics for the conservation,
management and study of the archaeological
resource."
ArchNet at the University of Connecticut Contains numerous links to archaeological resources throughout the world as well as a wealth of scanned images of artifacts and sites.
Archaeological Resource Guide
for Europe The Archaeological Resource Guide for Europe is a Web guide, or Virtual Library page, for European Archaeology. It is an indexed collection of hypertext links
to all currently available archaeological web pages in Europe. ARGE was started by Martijn van Leusen and Sara Champion in January 1995 as a first step towards the establishment of a European Archaeological Heritage Web (EAHW), which would offer many more services to a much wider public.
The Heroic Age"...is a free online journal dedicated to the study of the Northwestern Europe from the Late Roman Empire to the
advent of the Norman Empire. This journal is intended to be for the use of professionals, students, and amateurs alike and will take submissions from all of the above." (Michelle Ziegler, General Editor and Publisher)
World of Late Antiquity This page is prepared and maintained by James J.O'Donnell (Univ of Pennsylvania)."This is a home page for miscellaneous materials relating to the culture
of the Mediterranean world in late antiquity (roughly 200-700 C.E.). Some of it is organized for the benefit of instruction and there will be from time to time links of interest principally to my students, but there are also substantial materials of general interest."
