Bibliography of Western-Language Works on East Asian Archaeology
Society for East Asian Archaeology, Tokyo, Japan
Self description: "Compilation of this bibliography began in 1971 and has grown over the years with frequent additions. [...] [T]he list is not comprehensive and should not be mistaken to be. If any readers want their works on East Asian archaeology included, please send full citations, including publisher name and place and page numbers to [Gina Barnes Durham University, UK] gina.barnes@durham.ac.uk. [...] Please note this bibliography contains 3,293 references and is large (630 k)!"
[Indeed, publishing online a single 630KB-strong page virtually assures that the valuable (though unannotated and unstructured) bibliography will be used only by a miniscule number of readers, and as rarely as possible - ed.]
