Rome In Egypt
http://www.romeinegypt.unipi.it/
This site demonstrates how web technology can be combined with imagination to present data about archaeological monuments in a really useful way. This is dedicated to Roman sites in Egypt, but it would be great to see sites like this for other periods. There are various ways to search the site. For example, click the "sites" link and then use the alphabetic index to find a site. When you select a site, for example Qasr Qarun (in the Faiyum), you will be shown a map or a plan of the site, and a set of buttons along top. The buttons allow, where the data has been loaded, to zoom in and out, see a bibliography for the site, view finds, view an image of the site, and see a 3-d image of the building.

Tony Cagle's Faiyum Photos and Commentary
I was pootling around on Tony's Archaeology News blog last week, and found this collection of photographs from the Faiyum, where he carried out field work - well worth a look!

The Murname papers were excellent. Under a Starry Blue Sky was the most impressive. I'm going to have to take massive exception to James P. Allen's article which makes the claim that Murname himself had no time for theories but only accepted things based on hard evidence...and then goes on to propose a propose an entirely new theory on the Amarna succession on circumstantial evidence which pretty much shatters Occam's Razor. :P Maybe if I feel cantankerous I'll give a totally non-professional refutation later.
