A list of all knowledge/documentation would be a great thing!
Sounds well-nigh impossible, though...

  Hi all,

  I realise that the discussions between Lori and the group are not =

  any of my business but as someone who likes to see people getting on, =
I found=20
  it quite distressing to see misunderstandings arising over this issue.

  I did not interpret any of the responses to Lori's questions from =
members in=20
  the UK  as  'snipes' or 'jibes' - (at least not that appeared on list) =
- but=20
  I have met some of the people that responded and can therefore put =
faces to=20
  the names and from my experience of them I know that they would not be =
trying=20
  to be insulting - on the contrary, they would be being genuinely =
helpful. =20
  Personally, I have only ever encountered well meaning advice and =
support.=20

  The amount of time and effort invested by people in their hobby and =
the quest=20
  for 'authenticity' can however, make it a very emotive issue.  As a =
new=20
  member myself I can appreciate this and I am equally sure that every =
other=20
  member has experienced it.

  What I would like to ask is if there is in existence a single link =
that lists=20
  all current archeological data and resource materials on every aspect =
of=20
  Regia's time period that people could be directed to when these kind =
of=20
  issues come  up.  At least it might be a good idea to have a listing =
of all=20
  the research materials that Regia refer to.  This might take the =
issues=20

  understanding the stance taken on issues by Regia.  I appreciate that=20
  experimental archeology is a very important part of Regia's purpose, =
and that=20
  this can bring into question 'conventional' interpretations of data, =
but=20
  before one can experiment, there has to be an original source. =20

  Personally, I am on the bottom rung of the ladder with regards to =
research,=20
  but I know that many members of Regia have read vast amounts of =
material; =20
  would it be possible, or would it be a logistical nightmare, if =
members who=20
  have found information, sources etc or who have experimented with =
various=20
  aspects, could add their findings to a central listing on a Regia page =
so=20
  that members can access this.  Then if anyone has data that could give =
a=20
  slightly different slant as to possible interpretations, they could =
enter=20
  into debate without it spiralling to a level where people feel =
isolated and=20
  personally attacked.

  Does such a list exist?  Does anyone else feel that this would be a =
good=20
  idea?  A definite adjunct to the work that Tom is doing in compiling a =

  photographic resource!
