   'Data, Digital Ephemera, and Dead Media: Digital Publishing and
    Archaeological Practice'
    by Mark Aldenderfer, Department of Anthropology, UC Santa Barbara

    http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue6/aldenderfer_index.html

This article examines the nature of scholarly publishing in archaeology,
and drawing on many of the other articles published in the same issue,
argues for an explicitly digital future where we should look to the web as
the 'place' for archiving and storing our primary data.

Your comments on this thought-provoking article are welcome.
