***************** 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.
