UMBC now has access to the eHRAF Archaeology database through the end of March.

eHRAF Archaeology is an online cross-cultural database containing descriptive information on archaeological traditions of the world and is modeled after eHRAF World Cultures.

eHRAF is unique because each archaeological tradition contains a variety of full-text source documents (books, articles, and dissertations) that have been indexed and organized according to HRAF's comprehensive tradition and subject classification systems: the Outline of Archaeological Traditions (OAT), and the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM). These retrieval systems extend search capability well beyond keyword searching thus allowing for precise tradition and subject retrieval, even in a foreign language.

eHRAF Archaeology provides researchers and students access to archaeological materials for comparative studies within and across regions.

The trial runs through March 31, 2012. Feedback on the usefulness of this database is appreciated. Leave us a comment to let us know what you think.
