links to museum Web sites and pages, and MDA intends to
develop the pages further. Please look for a link to your Web site. If
it is not there or is incorrect please contact MDA. Also if your Web
site makes a link to the UK VLMP then the link should now point to:

***MDA Archaeological Objects Thesaurus - Forms***
On-line forms have been added to allow for comments to be made about
that thesaurus and for the submission of candidate terms.

***Term-IT Web Site***

with the re-launch of MDA at the begining of August.
