Ah, but that is where the internet can shine!  What is needed is major
journals, archaeological societies, or universities to commit to posting
and maintaining sites with well illustrated, described, and dated artifact
assemblages.  Obviously this would need to be backed up with archival paper
copies on file.
But *somebody* will still need to create and define the classifications and
write the reports!
