Searching GeoRef for Archaeology

The subject of archaeology presents a challenge to researchers attempting to find adequate indexing resources. Since there is no one source devoted exclusively to archaeology, librarians are forced to seek out any sources which can serve the researchers' needs. This study was conducted to determine the extent that GeoRef, a CD-ROM product of citations in geology, covers archaeological literature. Search strategy and results are presented and a brief comparison is made with other electronic resources. The study shows that GeoRef is a wor1hwhile resource to consult on the literature of archaeology.
