Several people have asked me how to search back "issues" of a listserver for
 information. Here is an example for gravestones; you might try
 cemetery/cemeteries too. ROOTS-L the genealogy listserver (
 [log in to unmask]  ) has had numerous discussions on gravestones and
 cemeteries, some of which might interest archaeologists.
 
***IMPORTANT*** send this to the listserver address below, NOT the HISTARCH
 address you usually use. Otherwise your request gets posted to everyone and it
 doesn't send you anything.

To obtain these files, you would send to the [log in to unmask]
 
/ship 000108
/ship 000157
 
etc
 
 
Hope this helps.
