About
Hello,
Welcome to Doug’s Archaeology.
About this website
When I started this website my focus was not well defined. After some time, I have narrowed down the focus to several specifics of Archaeology:
- The quality of the profession- pay, working conditions, career prospect
- Agent based modelling
- GIS
- Site predictive models
- Academics
- Wild-card topics
I have another blog http://openaccessarchaeology.tumblr.com/ that deals with publishing and open access in archaeology.
I hope you find something interesting here and feel free to drop me a line or say hi.

Hi Doug,
I thoroughly enjoy your website and your list of open access journals is great!
I am under the impression thought that most open access journals are not accredited and as such I cannot publish in them. Right or wrong, the h-index and journal index rule.
Best wishes,
Henriette

Hi Heriette,
First, sorry your post was listed as spam but I fixed that. Also, where are you from? I know some countries have formal lists but there are quite a few open access journals that are on these lists.

Hi Doug,
I believe I caught the bus, walked to, and dug alongside you at Temple in Midlothian in September 2010. Came across this site separately and it’s a very good resource. Thanks for the blog!
Cheers,
Paul

Yep, still a long wait till I can apply to uni — 2013 at the earliest — but I’m taking part in any volunteer/community archaeology I can get into down here in East Sussex. I’m never happier than head down in a hole!

I left this message for you on Academia.com, but in case you do not check that, I am the Chair of the Scientific Program for the World Archaeological Congress taking place in Jordan in January of 2013. Would you be interested in organizing a session on open access archaeology for those meetings? There is a modest amount of student support that you can apply for.

Thanks. Sent you a message back in academia.
