ArchaeoLog
According to the blurb "Archaeolog is a collective weblog dealing in all things archaeological, open to the wider archaeological community and cognate fields. We are inclusive and have no agenda other than to foster debate. We are community driven and we wish to provide a place for archaeology at large to be visible to the widest possible audience." Should be interesting.
