- ArchNet - University of Connecticut Anthropology Department provides access to archaeological resources available on the Internet. Information is categorized by geographic region and subject. Archnet was named the Cool Web Site of the Week by the online version of PCWeek. This honor resulted in a rapid increase in system use. Archnet is currently averaging 5-6000+ accesses per week.

- Fermilab's Prehistory-Archeology. "An archaeological survey of the Laboratory for prehistoric cultural
resources has revealed a total of twenty-seven American Indian
sites, one of which is eligible for the National Register of Historic
Places. The Fermilab sites, some as old as 3,000 years, were
basically hunting camps and thus occupied for relatively short
periods of time."

- Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at the University of Waikato, New Zealand "is a national radiocarbon facility. We are an independent department within the School of Science and Technology. For more than 10 years we have been providing radiocarbon assays for scientists and researchers in New Zealand, Australia, North America, Japan and Europe.
- Oxford Research Lab for Archaeology: The Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art "is an archaeological science research facility which includes the Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit. Current research programs include Radiocarbon, TL, OSL and Uranium series dating, artifact analysis of various kinds, and biological work associated with DNA, diet, and bone diagenesis. The information provided on the WWW server focuses on the Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit. This site also includes access to the radiocarbon calibration program OxCal. OxCal is an MS-Windows program that can be used to analyze site phases and stratigraphic sequences dated by radiocarbon and other techniques.
- The primary activities of The Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry (University of Wisconsin) "involve the application of materials characterization techniques to archaeological problems. Recent research includes the development of methods of paleodietary assessments through
chemical analysis of biological remains and methods of provenience determination for procurement and exchange studies. Since analytical work began in 1988, the Laboratory has been involved in collaborative projects with many individuals at a number of institutions as well as the training of colleagues and students in archaeometric methods.
