FAQs
Who are we?
Archaeopedia.Com is a group of archaeologists working on sharing information about archaeology to fellow professionals. At present we are focused primarily on New Zealand but we hope to expand out into looking into the Pacific archaeological scene next and elsewhere from there.
What is the website for?
The website is for anybody interesting in archaeology in New Zealand. It is primarily designed for the archaeological community but not restricted to it. We are hoping to provide a portal to the technical information used by archaeologists as well as capture some of the social history of our discipline through the years.
How reliable is the information?
The archaeologists who contribute are professionals archaeologists and where possible the information is designed to be reliable. However, as this is early days we do not yet have full verification organised and the information is provided here to help people find out where to look for more information rather than to be considered a definitive source of data. We hope to improve that, but as the information is provided free of charge, we take no responsibility for how you use that information.
What does it cost?
There is no charge for using the website. The content is created by volunteers. However, we hope that sponsors amongst the professional community will contribute and advertising is also available to those who would like to help out the project. Contact us for further information.
How do I contribute?
If you would like to contribute information, just send us an email. Logins to the website at this stage are only available to those archaeologists that we know (or know of) so that we can maintain the quality. However, if you have photos, stories or other information to contribute then we will be happy to examine it and put in on our website (with credits if you want) if we think it is appropriate.
Why is most of the information from the Auckland Region (and other biases!)
We are just starting out and we have started with the information closest to hand. We will address these problems as we go. If you really do not like it, then join up and give us a hand!
