I am an archaeologist and Egyptologist, teaching art history at
Northeast Missouri State University in Kirksville.  I teach a course in
Historical Methods where I try to combine the history of art history and
basic historiography with other types of approaches to material culture
(anthropology figures into this, of course; I also assign readings
on the history of museums and collecting, and the history of display
and classification).
  This is my professional background, and my initial interest in
the list, but I look forward to discussions on this list that are not
at first glance directly relevant tmaterial culture or anything like
that.  The best part of a computer discussion list is what you learn
by happy accident.  I may not have much to say after this posting
but I will read with interest whatever may be posted by others.  This
list should be good at bringing together an intriguing cross-section
of disciplines.
