The International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ) and the Alexandria Archive Institute have teamed up to create BoneCommons, an open access internet-based forum for the archaeozoological community. BoneCommons facilitates communication between ICAZ members by providing a place for them to “meet” online. ICAZ members can post questions, have discussions, and upload photos, charts, papers, and references....
BoneCommons is one of the recent initiatives that the Alexandria Archive Institute has created to explore open access frameworks for archaeology and related fields. The AAI’s experimental data sharing service, Open Context, is now also in demonstration.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
