Hi
  Yes! tDAR are a well respected and growing group that effectively archives digital data sets, especially zooarchaeology. We are collaborating closely with them to get N Atlantic data sets uploaded and archived (see www.nabohome.org and herc.ws.gc.cuny.edu for more details) and would urge others to do the same. For lots more information and data check the official website at:  http://www.tdar.org/ 

All the best
Tom

Hi all
I ran across this and was wondering if anyone has heard of/knows anything about this:
 
The Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) is the digital repository of Digital Antiquity, a collaborative organization devoted to enhancing preservation and access to digital records of archaeological investigations. tDAR is a national/international digital repository for archaeological information, including databases, reports, images, and other kinds of archaeological information. This project has the dual objectives of advancing archaeologists' ability to engage in synthetic and comparative research and to maintain the long-term utility and accessibility of irreplaceable data in the face of inadequate metadata and rapidly changing technology. 
 
 
 
cheers
