Feed Aggregator for Antiquities Trade and Looting

Doug Rocks-Macqueen's blog: Doug's Archaeology presents a very interesting list of 17 Great Archaeology Blogs on the Antiquities Trade and Looting That YOU Should Read.

What makes it even more useful is that he has built a feed aggregator for them using (google bundle).

I hope this can be enhanced over time be adding feeds from the few blogs and mailing lists that advocate for antiquities collecting and collectors, particularly since these groups react to one another on a regular basis. I think it would also be useful to include the feeds from the pertinent online journals.

In any case, well done Doug! Some among you will notice that I mentioned late last week his Searchable list of 250+ Open Access Archaeology Publications in another blog he writes: Open Access Archaeology.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University

AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.

AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.

AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
