Archaeology Discussion Lists

last update: 21 March 2006

All comments and additions are gratefully welcomed: John G. Younger

For archaeological web sites: KAPATIJA: http://www.people.ku.edu/~jyounger/Kapatija/.

History of This List
The original list of discussion groups for archaeologists & anthropologists was compiled by Allen H. Lutins: http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/afaq.html, and was sent out by David Lipovitch over the discussion list ANE (22 Sept 1994) as: Subject: Internet Resources of Interest to Anthropologists (fwd).

I have been adding to it -- be advised; there's 1,000's of discussion groups out there for nearly every subject under the sun. A complete list of ALL discussion groups, updated every year, should be available at your library's reference desk

Also consult: Anthropology, Guide to Internet Resources: http://www2.lib.udel.edu/subj/anth/internet.htm

Published guides to discussion groups on the InterNet

Instructions for Using This Document

In the list that follows, each discussion group is given a succinct entry.

The template is as follows:

LIST-NAME -- list-topic // address for mailing your subscription request // subscription message

For instance:

ANAHITA-L -- women & gender in classics & archaeology // http://www.onelist.com/group/Anahita-l

Thus, if I was to subscribe to ANAHITA, a discussion list about gender in classical antiquity,

I would mail subscribe anahita <John Younger>
to this address listserv@lsv.uky.edu


Usually the subscription message is merely

"subscribe LIST-NAME" or "sub LIST-NAME",

in which case it is omitted, as in

ANCIEN-L -- ancient history // listserv@ulkyvm.louisville.edu Thus

you would mail subscribe ancien-l
to listserv@ulkyvm.louisville.edu


Upon subscribing to a list you should receive a "Welcome Message" that will describe the list in detail, and spell out areas appropriate for discussion and rules of etiquette.

Save the Welcome Message !!
