About this Blog
AWBG is a place for posts and discussion about blogging the Ancient World. Particularly welcome are entries announcing real world events where bloggers can meet, planning and notice of virtual blogfests - when a group of bloggers are posting about the same topic, and other issues related to how bloggers go about their business.
Since this is a meta-blog, the list of links below currently includes sites that are similarly introspective about using technology to study some part of the Ancient World.

This sounds confusing, since it is a policy of Wikipedia NOT to publish original research. But given the increasingly heavy role of editors on Wikipedia, perhaps this siganls a change in policy. To me, the use of a Wiki to promote current research (not necessarily Wikipedia) is a great idea.
Scholars in a number of fields are coming to the conclusion that something is needed for nonspecialist dissemination that is more authoritative than Wikipedia yet more rapid and easily available than the standard scholarly encyclopedias. It sounds like the Nature endeavor may be along these lines. It would be nice to have something like this for archaeology, something more systematic and authoritative than the standard blog. But who would have the time or resources to do such a thing?
