The European DDC Users Group (EDUG) - 930 Archaeology Working Group

exists to improve the 930 Archaeology provision for works in the discipline archaeology in Europe and works on European antiquities;
gives recommendations to the EPC and the Dewey editorial team;
reports about proposals at EDUG's annual business meeting.

The focus of the group is European archaeology in Europe and works on European antiquities. More general issues should be addressed only when relevant for the representation of these subjects. The proposals should emphasize:

Geographic subdivision of 931-939.
Chronological subdivision of 931-939.
The time limit of 930.
Treatment of archaeological methods and antiquities from historical periods, i.e. medieval archaeology.
Expansions of 930.1028 for different archaeological methods.
Provision for specific topics of archaeology.

Proposals on other topics are welcome, as long as they are relevant to the general mission of the working group.
