Archaeology WIKI

[BAJR Host]

In discussion - we realised that BAJR is a good lcoation to hammer out definitions.. such as the "What is an Archaeologist"

And would be sad to lose these

WikiArc thinks best way forward would be to launch discussions about definitions on the BAJR forums, and then collate these into WikiArc entries (preferably linking back to the 'parent' forum thread).

Best practice would definitely be to include references to source material, and illustrations are most welcome, subject to the
usual copyright compliance.

So the best way to start would be to initiate a thread (folder
of threads?) on the BAJR forums - and ask the forum members what they would like to define?

We should also decide a mechanism for posting the finished article.

So would I collate and edit and then post for a final agreement?

:face-huh:

what people think?

Yes please

I am not sure that a eforum is the right place to do this.

I think how ever that the topic what is an archaeologist would make a good conference session.

Er, why? by whom? of what? for whom? Whilst I agree its an interesting place to talk about such issues and get probably unrepresentative opinions, and that those threads should be archived, I think any more than that is pushing it a bit really.

Well... er... by you.. and others... and anyone....

Where else would you suggest? A WIKI is by nature a device by which an item can evolve.. so definitions by definiton change and alter...

It's like saying... oi... you can't write a book, its just the opinions of one person...

If you disagree with an opinion.. or a definition.. then you say if you don't then you don't ... simple.

Is this a good place to do it.... well we could find out first... then say nope.... just saying no, is not a start.
