Royal Ontario Museum Archaeological Newsletter
ISSN : 0563-9239
The Archaeological Newsletter (ANL) began life in 1956 as a chatty letter from the trenches of the Jerusalem Project to ROM members back in Canada. The late Dr. Douglas A. Tushingham thought that members might like to be kept informed about the latest research that ROM archaeologists were doing in the field. The ANL proved to be very popular as members felt connected to their Museum and its research in a tangible way. They also enjoyed reading about how, even indirectly, their financial contributions were helping to further archaeological research at the ROM.In the years following, it evolved into a four-page, text and images report with each issue focusing on an individual aspect of on-going excavation, lab research or other archaeological work by ROM curators, staff or research associates. Topic areas have included interim reports on long-term excavation and survey projects, blood residue, petrographic, and use-wear analyses, detecting ceramic fakes, underwater archaeology, public archaeology, epigraphic recording, the early use of archaeological databases, and rock art research among many others. Articles have centred on research in areas as diverse as China, Ontario, Egypt and Sudan, Yemen, Belize, and Peru among others.The Archaeological Newsletter has been a favourite of ROM members and people interested in archaeology around the world. Prominent research libraries worldwide subscribe to the ANL and the ROM receives frequent research requests for back issues. We are pleased to now offer the Archaeological Newsletter online and plan to post back issues at a future date.Please check back frequently for new and archived issues!Latest IssueNo Garden in Eden: Hunting for Syria’s First Urban DwellersANL Archived Issues
