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

Hi all,

it quite distressing to see misunderstandings arising over this issue.
I did not interpret any of the responses to Lori's questions from =

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 =

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 =

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!
