I hope this will be a model for all archaeological literature. It’s a real shame how controlling scholars sit on caches of the world’s cultural heritage not for years, not for decades, but for generations (in the case of the Oxyrhynchus papyri), dolling it out to the public only as they reconstruct and interpret the fragments. If humanities scholars aim to rise to the level of the hard sciences, let them emulate XArchive.



I should have called it literature archaeology.
