SCD-FORMATTED PUBLICATIONS

Under the scientific direction of Valentine Roux, published in December 2000, the first SCD-formatted CD-ROM publication was Cornaline de l'Inde, as conceived by Valentine Roux and Philippe Blasco.

This was followed, in 2002, by a project of SCD-formatted monographs known as a collection Référentiels, published by the Editions Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and the Editions Epistèmes.

In 2004, the same editors will launch the Arkeotek Journal, the first SCD-formatted journal permitting speed-reading of scientific constructs and the extensive publication of their data bases.

Beyond this, Arkeotek intends to provide a methodological support, financial or technical, to authors and editors wishing to develop SCD-formatted publications on archaeological topics, especially on the archaeology of technology and techniques.

Through such a support, Arkeotek hopes to establish a network of authors and editors interested in constituting thematic knowledge bases around a communal format.

More generally, Arkeotek has fixed its objective as the development of a common set of scientific communication and information tools (dictionaries, manuals, bases of secondary sources) for all the archaeological community.
