Items of interest from my free newsletter:

IN THE NEWS

FoxNews has a nice feature on the Oriental Institute's Demotic Dictionary 
project:

http://www.foxnews.com:80/science/031800/egypt_dictionary.sml


The Washington Times has a review of an online Ancient Egyptian webquest 
which is kind of nice:

EXHIBITS

The Washington Post has a review of the Gold of the Nomads exhibit at the 
Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore (this page crashed my browser, but I 
suspect it's my computer's fault):

ON THE NEWSTANDS

If I didn't mention this one, I should have: Archaeology has a nice online 
feature on the Demosion Sema in Athens (supposedly entombing the dead of 
Pericles' funeral oration):

http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/athens/index.html

There's a number of other online features as well at Archaeology, including 
a nice feature on Butrint:

http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/index.html

Discovering Archaeology has a number of new or semi-new features of 
interest; the first is on Steven Miller's excavations of the Temple of Zeus 
and how it would appear there was a kinder, gentler Zeus:

http://www.discoveringarchaeology.com:80/0800toc/8randn9-zeus.shtml

There's also a piece on evidence on the Janiculum for a Gothic seige of 
Rome in Byzantine times:

FOLLOWUPS

This one's a bit old, but I happened upon it when digging up the above 
review in Salon ... it's a nice piece on the whole Elgin Marbles debate:
