AJA Online Forum


The American Journal of Archaeology is pleased to open the AJA Online
Forum (www.ajaonline.org/forum/). The Online Forum complements Forum
articles published in the AJA that discuss controversial, popular, or
neglected topics in archaeology. The Online Forum is the place to
continue the scholarly dialogue and the exchange of ideas. Online Forum
contributions may take a variety of forms: short comments on specific
points in the published articles, introduction of new material to the
discussion, longer more formal presentation of views, or informal
discussion. Naomi Norman, AJA Editor-in-Chief, encourages everyone to
participate in the AJA Online Forum and, indeed, consider submitting
Forum articles for publication in the Journal.

 

The October 2004 issue of the AJA (108.4) included the very first Forum
exchange: an article by Frank Kolb on the place of Troy VI within the
framework of Late Bronze Age trade and a response by Peter Jablonka and
C. Brian Rose. A short commentary submitted by Frank Kolb in response to
the published article by Jablonka and Rose is now available in the
online forum. All of the materials above are available on the AJA
website (www.ajaonline.org <http://www.ajaonline.org/> ), although
online versions of the printed articles are view-only.

 


Museum Reviews Online


In 2004, Elizabeth Bartman was appointed Museum Exhibition Editor of the
AJA.  In addition to commissioning reviews of important exhibitions for
the print edition of the Journal, additional reviews will be posted on
the AJA website (www.ajaonline.org <http://www.ajaonline.org/> ).  The
first of these is now available.  Victor Cunrui Xiong has reviewed the
Metropolitan Museum of Art's "China: Dawn of a Golden Age" exhibit.
