Welcome

Welcome to Archaeology Matters! The site aims to present a variety of online resources useful to the student of Archaeology, Numismatics, Epigraphy and related fields.

For now the Numismatics section is by far the richest.

Special attention has been given to discovering books and journals from these fields that can be read online or downloaded, as such items can be difficult to discover.

For those in need of books online, a catalogue of online libraries is also offered by A.M.!

The tabs running along the top link to various collections of such resources.

A second aim of Archaeology Matters is to provide information from the various fields of History and Archaeology that sometimes go unnoticed.

One such example is the Coin Hoards post, which aims at collecting information on the discovery of coin hoards, that appear in unspecialised journals and daily press, information that can escape the specialists attention.

If you have any information on any of the above subjects that is missing from A.M., please let me know about it!
