General Arcaeological Frauds and Myths

Larry Zimmerman (University of Iowa) and Richard Fox’s (University of South Dakots) cult archaeology page. Very thorough, broad coverage of extreme claims in archaeology. This web site is great fun!

Very thorough listing of pseudoscience in archaeology. Lots of links to web sites (both scientific and not) related to such claims. As Martijn van Leusen, the author of this site, warns: “visit these sites at your own risk.” Enter with an open, but skeptical, mind.
