Some lists can produce large numbers of messages, though usually it is possible to receive a summary or digest of messages at regular intervals. There are many more lists which specialise in particular topics or areas. A guide to all British academic lists is available from the Mailbase WWW site . Bulletin boards and newsgroups are alternative types of mailing, but these tend to be used by non-academics and are rarely worth investigating unless you are interested in fringe archaeology, or public reaction to archaeological news. A selected classified list is given below.
Archaeology is so diverse that it is impossible to list all the relevant lists.
The best way to find relevant lists are either to do a Web search or go to the gateway for the general subject area you are interested in eg Chemistry, Geology, History, Art History, Biology, Architecture etc. Many of these can be found from NISS , but general thematic and period based archaeology resources can be accessed at ARGE . Geographical area AegeaNet Discusses issues relating to the pre-Classical Aegean world. The aim of this list is to facilitate communication through the exchange of information on meetings, conferences, bibliographies, publications, reference collections and botanical and ethnographic data relevant to the analysis of archaeological plant macro-remains. ArchComp Computational Archaeology is for discussion and dissemination of information about archaeological computing.management.
