L’archéologie sur Internet

Though Internet began in 1989, it was not until 1993 that the world-wide web started to expand, still limited to research and higher education centers. The publication in 1998 in issue 72 of the Nouvelles de l’archéologie of the first texts promoting the first archaeology contents is recounted, while the situation of the use of Internet in France and in the world is recalled. In a second part the evolution from 1998 to today of the use of Internet is outlined, using examples taken from the archaeology domain.
