ARD - Anthropology Review Database
The Anthropology Review Database is intended to improve the level of access of anthropologists to anthropological literature by making them more aware of what is being published and helping them to evaluate its relevance to their own interests.

North American Database of Archaeological Geophysics
The North American Database of Archaeological Geophysics (NADAG) is a database and website that aims to promote use, education, communication, and a knowledge base of the practice of archaeological geophysics in North America. Most archaeologists in this continent have little knowledge of geophysical methods or of their potential to archaeology, and their level of use in projects remains low. This circumstance exists despite the many benefits of these techniques and large advances in the quality of results in recent years. Yet, geophysical methods in archaeology are routinely employed and widely accepted in Europe, and are actually mandated in several countries where national databases and websites of results are maintained. The NADAG project will help to correct this imbalance.

The Paleoindian Database of the Americas
The information posted on this web site replaces and represents a marked expansion of our earlier North American Paleoindian Projectile Point Database (Anderson 1990; Anderson and Faught 1998, 2000; Faught et al. 1994). That database provided summary data on the occurrence of Paleoindian projectile points by state and county within the United States. The data to be posted will include drawings, photographs, and attribute and distributional data for specific kinds of artifacts, as well as radiocarbon dates, references, and web links. The posted data has been compiled from publications and from a number of research projects, who are explicitly acknowledged and referenced. At present summary distributional data on just over 13,000 Paleoindian projectile points has been compiled, together with measurement data on several thousand Paleoindian tools, mostly fluted or unfluted projectile points, blades, and other tool types.
