>>As a number of you know from my paper at ARCE several years ago,
>>I have been tracking global funding for archaeology since the late 1980s
>>and have been slowly building a global database of corporate, foundation, and
>>governmental sources.  While I recognize this is a sensitive issue, anyone
>>who has run across (to them) a "new funding source" who is willing to share it
>>with the database, may post it via e-mail <[log in to unmask]>
>>
>>In return, I am prepared to run a very narrowly drawn descriptor search
>>to see what else may be out there, globally, for your project.
>>
>>All of this is prelude to a book--_Funding Exploration:  The Future of
>>Discovery in the 21st Century_ co-authored by Don Keel and myself,
>>which should appear in late 1997.

>>In addition, you may want to be added to our discussion group (under
>>development), re: funding issues that will be launched later this Spring.

add that
>>Don Keel and I (along with Discovery Channel and National Geo.
>>Television) are participating in a symposium in late April entitled,
>>"Into the Field:  Strategies for Funding Exploration" (sponsor:  The
>>Philadelphia Chapter of The Explorers Club).  Page provides details,
