In bringing together so many different people, the web shows the incredible diversity of archeology's sub fields. One of the most significant contributions the web has made to the field of archeology is portraying its many faces and showing how different perspectives lead the study in so many different directions. Ironically, the medium that so successfully diversifies the field of archeology also brings together people sharing one common interest. To say that all involved in the archeological web share the study as a common denominator is by no means a novel observation. However the creators of almost all the archeological information on the web seem to be professionals in the study, people for whom archeology is a way of life.
Amateur contributors are the definite exception.
Most web page authors divide their lives between teaching Anthropology at the university level and field work. It is a study that intrigues people to the point that they cannot merely dabble in the subject. It has an enamoring affect that draws people in. The World Wide Web has not only elucidated the elements and nature of Archeology. It has come to portray the study in a new light.
