Archaeology Links; NOTE: this page has not been updated since 1998.

General:

• ArchNet, an impressive set of links to archaeological pages of all persuasions, ,at the University of Connecticut.
• For an Old World emphasis, check out the Archaeological Resource Guide for Europe (ARGE--Kind of an ArchNet for Europe).
• The National Archaeological Database inventories over 120,000 archaeological investigations, contains information about NAGPRA (the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), and so forth--very cool. A web-searchable form is available as well.
• The University of Washington Anthropology Department website is also pretty cool, especially a hypertext version of the full text of Robert Dunnell's Systematics in Prehistory.
• For those interested in Mediterranean archaeology with a Classics bent, this University of Michigan page is also fun.
• Dartmouth professor Jeremy Rutter's entire set of course lectures for his Prehistoric Archaeology of the Aegean course are online. Very nice.
• The Southwest Archaeology (SWA) site is a huge, very cool resource for all aspects of the archaeology of the North American Southwest. Topics range from Jobs available in the Southwest, to actual full-text archives of papers presented at a conference on the Hohokam a few years ago.
• The Archaeology Data Archive Project
• Confused by arcane, specialized archaeological vocabulary? Oxley and Morton's Archaeological Buzzword Generator explains all!

Specific Organizations

• The Society for American Archaeology, the foremost professional society of Archaeologists in the Americas.
• UNM's Office of Contract Archaeology
• My former employers at the Kansas State Historical Society . See both their Main Page and the page for their Highway Archaeology Program . (Not only did I enjoy working for them, but I also met my wife there....)
• The New Mexico Archaeological Council.
• Jemez Pueblo's Quasho Preservation Program, the Pueblo of Jemez's own archaeological and cultural resource preservation agency.

On-line Journals:

• The Journal of Field Archaeology page has abstracts of papers and articles from JFA.
• The Journal of World Anthropology is an interesting online info source.
• The Society for American Archaeology also has its SAA Bulletin available on the Web.
• The International Journal of Historical Archaeology
• The Journal of World Prehistory.
• The Journal of World Systems Research actually publishes full papers online in HTML format. WS theory is an economic model that been applied in interesting ways (with varying degrees of success) to archaeological problems in recent years. A recent JWSR issue focuses on Anthropology and World Systems, with several interesting papers online (scroll down their page to reach this section).
• The American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
• Complexity International is an online journal devoted to research into complex systems. Yes, I know it isn't strictly Archaeology (or even largely archaeology), but it's interesting, so I put it here.

Individual Sites, Projects, or Areas:

• Catal Huyuk. Very nice page.
• The Pylos Regional Archaeology Project
• See a 3D computer reconstruction of the Great Kiva at Chetro Ketl in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. You can even go on a (slow but entertaining) virtual tour.
• Chaco Canyon!
• Tuzigoot National Monument
• For budding Mayanists, there's the Maya Astronomy page and the Maya Epigraphic Database.
• Speaking of Mayanists, here's the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project's Western Belize Regional Cave Project page.
