With apologies to you for any nuisance caused by cross-posting...
the
following is being forwarded from The Archaeology Channel.

====================
I'm pleased to announce that we are significantly diversifying
our content on
The Archaeology Channel, our nonprofit public-education
streaming-media
website at www.archaeologychannel.org.  Notably different from
the 14
streaming videos that were up on our website at the end of May
are two new
features: Audio News from Archaeologica and ArchaeoVideo Field
Communiqué:
The Popham Colony.

Audio News from Archaeologica, our first streaming audio feature,
is a weekly
audio summary of the previous week's archaeology news from around
the world,
compiled by Archaeologica (www.archaeologica.org), a leading
archaeology news
website.  The news is prepared and read by Claire Britton-Warren,
founder and
manager of Archaeologica, with an introduction and postscript by
myself.
Claire updates news links daily on her website and selects the
top stories of
the week for our news show.  Our third week of news programming
just went up
on TAC, and already the Audio News is our most popular page!
This experience
ensures that more audio features soon will be forthcoming.

ArchaeoVideo Field Communiqué: The Popham Colony is the first of
its genre
anywhere.  Our first in-house production, this new multimedia
feature
combines streaming video clips, text, photographs, figures, maps,
and web
links to tell the story of the first English colony in New
England, Fort St.
George, established on the coast of Maine in 1607, abandoned in
1608,
relocated in the 1990s, and now undergoing excavation.  This
format is the
brainchild of our partner and video producer David Bogan of
ArchaeoVideo
(formerly Green Mountain Documentary) and is designed to report
ongoing
fieldwork at archaeological sites of interest.  The footage for
The Popham
Colony was shot during the 2000 field season and features project
director
Dr. Jeffrey Brain of the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem,
Massachusetts.  David
shot footage last summer at four other project locations in the
U.S. that
will be the subject of ArchaeoVideo Field Communiqués currently
in
preparation.

We encourage you to sample these and other streaming media
programs on TAC.
If you feel that this project is a worthy endeavor, please accept
an
invitation to participate in the membership and underwriting
programs
described on our website at www.archaeologychannel.org.  Your
help allows us
to continue and enhance this nonprofit public-education service.
We also
welcome volunteers and content partners to team with us as we
reach out to
the world community.
