Anybody with an interest in the subject is invited to help and add their name to the list of participants. On this page you will find an (incomplete) list of open tasks and resources for editing archaeology articles. The talk page is a centralised discussion of articles in the project's scope and a place to solicit help and collaboration from interested editors.

[edit] Other
If you find another article needing attention, you can list it here:
- Post excavation, if the topic really needs a separate article, should be renamed to something like Post-excavation (archaeology) or, maybe better Post-excavation archaeology. In English, the current name would be for an article about the excavation of posts.
- Schöningen Spears, at 400,000 years old, the oldest known human weapons. Current article is a translation of the German article and needs expert attention.
