No need to crosspost the article about archaeology. I did so already. Our computer now receives sci.archaeology (and it's sooooo interesting). Bob Jacobson Moderator

I am a research student here at Southampton University working
on developing computer based tools for analysing antiquarian
plans of a ancient monument in England called Avebury.
I hope in the latter stages of my work to use virtual worlds
to further explore these plans and their relation to the current
site . The tools are to comprise of at first a 2-d environment
in which we can graphically explore and compare the plans which
we hope to later expand in to a 3-d exploration.
I am currently working on a paper for a humanities and computing
journal in which I hope to present the full potential of the
virtual world as an analytical tool for the study of antiquarian
plans in general . I hope that you may be able to put me in touch
with someone who can give me some more information or mail me some
papers which could be of use now and to aid in my future developments.
thank you for your time ,

[MODERATOR'S NOTE: There is reportedly a new newsgroup, sci.
archaeology (or something to that effect) for which this is an ideal
posting. However, we don't have access from the UW computer. If
someone could crosspost this to sci.archaeology, I would appreciate
it. (And let me know.) Thanks. -- Bob Jacobson]
