Working Party, Site and Archaeological Reconstruction
                  Museums of ICMAH (International Committee for Museums
                  and Collections of Archaeology and History) request for
                  information (please email replies to
                  [log in to unmask]).

                  The working party is particularly looking for museums
                  outside Europe, and for general bibliographical items,
                  especially those in languages other than French.

                  Definition of Site or Reconstruction Museums:

                  Site and reconstruction museums are archaeological
                  sites, or clusters of such sites of all periods and of
                  every kind, including historic or industrial
                  archaeology, which consist of conserved rand publicly
                  displayed remains, and a museum presenting a
                  collection of objects which have come originally from
                  the site, and in the case of reconstructions, only
                  those based on scientific evidence.

                  The particular case of architectural reconstructions
                  set up at a distance from the original site has been
                  kept as a special category in the study.  Excluded are
                  the homes of artists or authors, battlefields of the
                  two world wars, and open air folklife museums.

                  To be comprehensive, we must include in this study
                  projects which are still under development.
