Corrections and contact
Every page on this site says that if something is wrong, it gets corrected with a note saying what changed. This is where you tell me.
What is worth sending
- A correction. A date, a measurement, a name, a claim I have got wrong. Include the source if you have one and it gets fixed with a note on the page.
- A better source. Especially papers, excavation reports and older translations, and above all anything in a language I do not read.
- First-hand knowledge. If you have been to one of these places, or worked on one, tell me what the published accounts get wrong.
- A site worth investigating. What it is, roughly where, and why you think it is unresolved.
- A recent paper. Something published that should be in Latest research and is not.
One thing I will not do
I will not publish a claim because it is interesting. If you send me something extraordinary, the first thing I will do is look for the source, and if there is not one, I will say so on the page. That is not scepticism for its own sake. It is the only reason anything else here is worth reading.
