SEAA-web
| The 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 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. The SEAA-web contains, among the many other features, two sections with a special function: the Members' Area and the Bulletin of the Society for East Asian Archaeology. The Members' Area is reserved for the communication and networking of the SEAA members. 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 is scheduled to start in February 2007. If you wish to join us, please look up the SEAA Membership Subscription, and welcome! From the editor .... The 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, at this stage, were in main parts 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 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 is the aim of the SEAA-web to pick up the thread, and eventually achieve a similar successful means of communication. For now, I would like to express my gratitude to all the people helping to create, polish, and maintain this website. Barbara Seyock August 26th 2006 From the president .... Welcome to the SEAA-web, the new 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 is just over 10 years old, having replaced the East Asian Archaeology Network (EAAN) in April 1996. Gina L. Barnes of England, the founder of the EAAN, served as the founding President from 1996 to 1998, and was succeeded by Sarah M. Nelson of Denver, USA, for the next six years, 1998-2004. I now have the honour of serving as the third President of the Society until 2008, when SEAA holds its fourth World-Wide Conference in Beijing. 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.
