The Archaeological Data Archive Project is now preparing an index
of machine-readable archaeological data files as a part of its
archival efforts. The files to be included in the index need not
be contributed to the archive; the aim of the index is simply to
provide guidance to scholars about material which exists in
machine-readable form. The index itself will be in the form of a
database and will be available for downloading; it will contain
information about the files, including subjects, locations,
availability, scope, types, and so on.
We would like to be able to include as many files as possible -
including those that are freely available for use as well as
those that may only be made available on request and those that
are not yet ready to be made available at all. Any machine-readable
files from archaeological work may be indexed; we do not wish to
limit the scope further. We also wish to include files of various
types - database files, image files, CAD files, GIS files, etc.
Please contact Harrison Eiteljorg, II, at ADAP, Box 60, Bryn Mawr,
PA 19010 or [log in to unmask] if you have files that should
be included in the index.
Please feel free to cross-post this to other lists. It has been sent
to AIA-L, ARCH-L, AegeaNet, and ANE.
