About SEAA-web....
SEAA-web is an information platform dedicated to communicating
the activities of the Society for East Asian Archaeology (SEAA), to spreading
news of upcoming events and note-worthies in the field to members more...
and the
interested public, and to publishing and sharing information on research
based on archaeologically recovered material comprising China, Korea, Japan
and adjacent regions in all periods, thus aiming at further fostering a
network of expertise in East Asian archaeology. The SEAA-web is a non-profit
project. It has been created in accordance with the aims and objectives
of the Society for East Asian Archaeology (SEAA), and published as a preliminary
web in September 2006.
SEAA-web contains, among the many other features, three sections
with a special function: the Members' Area, the Bulletin of the Society
for East Asian Archaeology, and the Western Language Bibliography for
East Asian Archaeology.
The Members' Area is reserved for communication and networking
among SEAA members. Upon becoming a member of SEAA (see the Membership
Subscription section under the SEAA menu, upper left), one is issued a
password for access to this area.
The Bulletin of the Society for East Asian Archaeology provides a
means of publishing smaller manuscripts such as field reports, project
outlines, book reviews, museum roundups etc., or brief essays on various
issues in East Asian archaeology. The contributions appear online at
varying intervals over the year. The Bulletin of the Society for East
Asian Archaeology started in February 2007. New material is available
exclusively for SEAA members for the first three months and then is made
generally available to the public. Only members can download the
articles.
The Western Language Bibliography for East Asian Archaeology
(EAA bibliography) - compiled by Gina L. BARNES - is being newly remounted in an updated and searchable form. New entries are periodically integrated into the full database, which is over 4000 entries and growing! The full database is only accessible to SEAA members.
But a taster of new entries is offered to the public under
'Links & Resources'.

From the
editor ....
SEAA-web first of all is a means of communication for the members of
SEAA, and moreover a platform for information for all those interested in
East Asian archaeology and early history. It cannot work without the cooperation
and assistance of all users. All kinds of information concerning East Asian
archaeology and early history as well as the members' activities are very
much welcome. The SEAA-web is open for contributions from non-members as
well. Look up the Contributions Guidelines for further information.

The archives of the SEAA-web were initially created
from the text body of the EAANouncements (1990-1998), the newsletter of
the former East Asian Archaeology Network (EAAN), which in 1996 became the
Society for East Asian Archaeology (SEAA). All credits for the comprehensive
EAAN archives of this site accordingly go to Gina Lee Barnes, the editor of EAANouncements
– initiator of EAAN, and founding president of SEAA – , and to her many
regular co-editors, guest editors and contributors. It has been the aim of the SEAA-web to pick up the thread, and eventually achieve a similar successful
means of communication.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the people helping
to create, polish, and maintain this website.

From the
president ....
Welcome to the SEAA-web, the website of the Society for East Asian
Archaeology (SEAA). The Society is a world-wide group of scholars,
students, and members of the public interested in the archaeological
records of China, Korea, Japan and adjacent regions. We are interested
in promoting research, sharing information about new research results,
and preserving cultural heritage for the future. The interests of the
Society members range from the earliest evidence of human presence in
the area, through the development of ancient civilizations, to the
fortresses and farming villages of the recent past.

As explained elsewhere in this web, the Society was founded in April
1996, replacing the East Asian Archaeology Network (EAAN). Gina L.
Barnes of England, the founder of the EAAN, served as the founding
President of the new Society from 1996 to 2002, and was succeeded by
Sarah M. Nelson of Denver, USA, for the next four years, 2000-2004. I
now have the honour of serving as the third President of the Society
until 2012, when SEAA holds its fifth World-Wide Conference in Kyūshū,
Japan.
I invite you to visit various pages of this website, being developed and
edited by Barbara Seyock, with the technical assistance of Michael Moos.
I should like to take this opportunity to thank Simon Holledge for his
generous contribution of time, efforts and resources in hosting the SEAA
Archives for many years, until they were incorporated into SEAA-web.
