Dear colleagues,
April 1st, the new issue of www.PalArch.nl has been put online. Thanks for your co-operation!
www.PalArch.nl exists two years! In 2004, the Dutch Minister of Education, Cultures and Science Mrs M.J.A. van der Hoeven, launched the very first issue (see our website for a full report). Now we enter our third year and can look back on a promising start. So far (thus excluding the publications of this April issue) we have published 23 papers and 49 book reviews on vertebrate palaeontology, 12 papers and 40 book reviews on archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology and one papers and 30 book reviews on archaeology of northwest Europe (including more general books on archaeological theories). Furthermore, eight Newsletters have been edited and the Foundation presented itself on numerous scientific meetings, distributing information about PalArch. So we can conclude that it has been very successful indeed. However, the success is not spread evenly across the various scientific fields we work in. Vertebrate palaeontology is doing rather well, but archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology remarkably less. Unfortunately, electronic publishing is still rather unpopular, apparently especially among Egyptologists, despite the many advantages.
Needless to say, we will increase our efforts to stimulate people to publish with us, among others by distributing information packages, presenting posters and the like. Please, note our Call for papers: All contributions that fall within the wider thematic framework of the journals are welcome. This includes papers for our journal on archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology, the journal on vertebrate palaeontology and the journal on the archaeology of northwest
Europe and related disciplines such as archaeobotany, archaeozoology, museology, systematics, the history of science etc. Contributions can take the form of, for instance, excavation reports, material studies, databases etc. PalArch is especially, but not exclusively, suitable for submission that involves large amounts of data.
Furthermore, our renewed Newsletter with all details on the publications, news on the activities on the PalArch Foundation and various other items is online as well, go to
