***************** REFRESHED CALL FOR DISCUSSION ************************** I'd like to continue discussion on establishing a new newsgroup to address archaeology in its many aspects. This is being done to refresh people's minds about this newsgroup. An official call for votes will be cast in one week (April 16, 1991). Please note, the place to post replies or comments about the new group is to the newsgroup called 'news.groups'. Name: sci.archaeology Type: unmoderated Purpose: 1 ) To exchange information on various corcerns in ARCHAEOLOGY, including method and theory, pot hunting, egyptology, typology, dating, and other related topics. 2 ) To facilitate ongoing debates and comments on ideas or research that may not necessarily be in a publishable form. 3 ) To query other interested archaeologists about resources which could be made generally available. (e.g., programs, images, data, references, but not exact site locations) 4 ) To keep each other informed on upcoming events of interest to social science researchers and computing in the field of archaeology. If the discussion can come to a consensus by April 16, 1991 I'll be able to issue a new call for votes for such a group.
