I note that Peter Tompa has now added a further comment to Kimberly's original post: "For a more balanced bibliography, see that provided by the CPRI on its website". What does he mean by "balanced"?

I suspect that many reading lists for undergraduate and graduate students are now hosted on university VLEs along with other teaching materials. Is Jarvis' bibliography a legacy of Web 1.0 use? But is it sensible for one collector / dealer to comment: "this site and its bibliography are a disgrace to academic research"?

Do we need static bibliographies? Or should we be using Web 2.0 technologies to share information?

Dr. Gill again misses the point. The Buffalo list purports to be a balanced source for students. The CPRI list makes no such claim (or one of comprehensiveness), but it does include many sources reflecting the "archaeology over all perspective," for example those of Atwood, Brodie, Elia, Gerstenblith, etc. It even cites the work of Kimberly Alderman, whose blog this post relates to.

It seems anything related to looted antiquities presents enormous problems of honesty and thinking to many. Some will criticize contributions without first reading them and others, no matter what you say or write, will attribute to you views you have not expressed. An American lady has presented my view as one of extreme and uncompromising nationalism. This same person ends her study, calling for reconciliation of divergent views by quoting my statement which she attributes to "anonymous" even though to I sent her the text which she acknowledged at her site.
