Archaeology

Just a short note on the spelling of the field. The British spelling is "archaeology" and is widely used in the US as well as in the UK. The American spelling, "archeology", seems to be used only by the US government and Texas. If you do a search on a search engine using the archeology spelling, you will find a lot of the paranormal, and wacky books using that spelling. Forbidden Archeology (a book) is my favorite for an example.

SWA has a great site with archaeology news, tools, and a job board. They also put out a newsletter called "Got Caliche?" that carries archaeology news from all over the world.

Welcome to the Archaeology Channel

One thing to keep in mind about this blog. My first love is historical archaeology (which is obvious since I run the historical archaeology discussion list, HISTARCH). So I will be posting a lot of those sites. Also, I run an underwater discussion list, SUB-ARCH, so you will find a lot of underwater archaeology pages here as well.

The Wheatland Foundation is trying to save an 18th century house that was sacked by Union soldiers during the American Civil War. I love the name of the chief archaeologist, Alain Outlaw.
