fieldwork conducted by the Center, including some of their most well-known work
around Native American settlements and Civil War battlefield sites.
Importantly, there are sections of the site devoted to educational outreach
efforts to inform students about the nature of the Center's work and to provide
them with introductory material on the practice and method of
archaeology.

The
Mississippian Moundbuilders and Their Artifacts
While
the lower midwest and southeastern United States may be home to a
distinct
form of urbanism today, the Mississippian mound builders of 1200
years
ago began to engage in a form of urban development that would stand
unrivaled
in the area for over five hundred years. Anthony Stein has done a
fine
job of bringing their story to the Internet, as he offers an important
perspective
on the Native Americans in this region of the United States, and
more
specifically, their material culture and artifacts. Visitors to this
site
will find 10 sections devoted to a different type of Mississippian
artifact,
including pottery, flint implements, pipes, and ear ornaments.
Within
each section, Mr. Stein explains the importance of each type of
artifact
within everyday life, while including images of each type of
artifact.
Archaeology of Oregon
Online version of the book by Dr. C. Melvin Aikens published in 1993 by
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a part of its "Adventures in the
Past" public outreach effort. The book is a "synthesis of the
information available concerning the prehistory of Oregon" based on
"analysis of the archaeological and anthropological data."
Council
for British Archaeology Online
Founded at the conclusion of World War
II, the Council for British Archaeology (CBA)
held as one of its original objectives the "safeguarding
of
all kinds of archaeological material and the strengthening of existing
measures
for the care of ancient and historic buildings, monuments, and
antiquities." Since its inception, the CBA has continued its role as a
trendsetter through its work in establishing a peer-reviewed Internet
archaeology journal and the popular magazine, British Archaeology. At the
site, visitors can elect to sign up for an email discussion list (BRITARCH),
learn about fieldwork opportunities, read research reports dating back to
1955, and take a look at the occasional paper series, which includes work on
archaeology of churches and work on industrial sites around Britain. One
additional resource that is worth a look here is the CBA Briefing area, which
contains a monthly update on upcoming conferences, fieldwork, lectures,
exhibits, and grants in the field.

Center
for the Ethnography of Everyday Life
The
Center for the Ethnography of Everyday Life is the fourth in the Sloan
Foundation's
network of centers devoted to the study of working families in
the
United States. Hosted at the University of Michigan, the Center's Web
site
presents useful information about the Center's ongoing research
projects,
their personnel, and opportunities for post-doctoral fellowships.
Much
of the scholarship at the Center is informed by the approach of
cultural
anthropology, but a host of perspectives are included in their
projects,
including those of social work and sociology. Perhaps the
centerpiece
of the site is the Working Papers section, which features
different
works in progress. Recent titles include "Taking Culture
Seriously:
Making the Social Survey Ethnographic," "Media in the Middle:
Work,
Family, and Media Use in a Middle Class Midwestern Town," and "The
Farming Family: Work, Character, and
Change in Rural America."
eHRAF Collection of Ethnography
With over a quarter million pages of information on all aspects of cultural and
social life, the topics range from religious practices to causes and cures of
