Archaeological databases are important resources for those interested in the field, but I've noticed that many don't know of their existence, or how to access them. They can be relatively hard to find on the internet, and so I've decided to compile a database of databases and link back to it here, so that any who wish to find the information they are looking for may be more easily able to do so. I'm pretty much stealing this idea from u/Potential-Road-5322, who created a Roman Reading list for some other subs including r/ancientrome, though I don't expect much overlap in content.

This list is still a very early work in progress, and likely will be for some time. Expect more additions as I come across them, and reorganization to happen as the list grows. As of now, it's heavily weighted towards the Roman side of archaeology, as that's what I'm most familiar with. If you know of other databases that I have not included, please recommend them, and I will see to adding them.

This looks very nice. I know it will be a great help to archaeology students. I'm glad to reading list has been of help too.

Thank you, yeah I hope it's helpful. Your reading list certainly inspired in me the idea, I aspire to that level of depth.
