[Bonetools] New journal with some bone tools inside

[Jean-Marc Petillon]

Dear all,

I tried to send this message this morning but apparently it won't get 
through. Sorry if you get this to times.

I would like to advertise the publication of a new online Prehistory 
journal, Palethnologie (see announcement below).

Its distinctive feature is that each article appears in both French and 
English versions, with the journal taking care of the translation from 
English or from French. The idea is to make the contents accessible to 
all those who are unfortunate enough to read only one of those two 
beautiful languages :)

Palethnologie has so far a single issue per year. Issue #1, labeled 
2008, can be downloaded for free. Any comment on the current version is 
more than welcome. I must add that this is a peer-reviewed journal, but 
alas, since it barely started and it is not yet registered on any of the 
fancy literature databases, it is not yet worth much as far as 
bibliometrics are concerned.

I am taking the liberty to present this journal on the Bonetools list 
because issue #1 features the proceedings of our 2006 colloquium on 
projectile points (session C83 of the last UISPP congress in Lisboa: 
http://www.palethnologie.org/revue.php?numero=1&partie=1 then click on 
"english" on top left) and there is one paper about antler harpoon heads 
inside (mine - you may take this as a way to discreetly advertise my own 
scientific production).

All the best,

J.Marc

Dear colleagues,

Through a partnership of the Universities of Liège (Belgium),
Neuchâtel (Switzerland), Paris I (France) and Toulouse (France),
and with support from the French Ministry of Culture, we have created
a new bilingual (French/English), on-line review of Prehistory called
Palethnologie. The first issue has just appeared and is available at
the following address:

http://www.palethnologie.org/

As can be seen in this issue, this review aims to cover all fields of
Prehistory. Through its electronic support and English translations,
it contributes to an international diffusion of research conducted in
French-speaking countries.

Palethnology publishes articles presenting recent research, as well as
thematic sections, which will often consist of colloquia proceedings
(as can be seen in the first issue). It also includes a Documentary
Resource section, which will contain archives such as university
theses (these will not be translated).

Wishing an excellent reading,

Vanessa Léa, François Bon, Matthieu Honegger, Monique Olive, Marcel
Otte, Michel Vaginay and Nicolas Valdeyron
