ARI Editor's note : Often, you will have to identify yourself before interacting on the threads. Sites using a GNU program (e.g. www.archaeologyfieldwork.com) make this identification simple and fast. Sites using MSN (e.g. the Archeophone forum) make this identification more cumbersome... AusAnthrop is an example of forum where you can post straight away ! Quite a few under a main URL have several separate forums; if so, their topics are mentionned and specific links set up.
