Positions in Archaeology (2008-2009 Search)

LAST UPDATED: 3-13-09

Notice: I copied this wiki to scratchpad from wikihost.org which seems to be down. In any case, this format seems to be much cleaner and easier to work with. 2007-2008 search is located below '08-'09. Also, don't forget to change the "Last Updated" section above whenever you edit the wiki.

'How many people use this page: //update number if you do// 15

IS THERE ANY REASON WHY ARCHAEOLOGISTS CAN NOT BE AS ORGANIZED AND FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION AS CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGYISTS AND PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS? HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR WIKI PAGES?
