Encyclopedia of Archaeological Sciences Free Access for SAS Members

Big news for SAS members!  You now have free access to the absolutely massive Encyclopedia of Archaeological Sciences for the next 18 months!  Current members should have received an e-mail with instructions on how to use the encyclopedia from General Secretary Dr. Kyle Freund, but the best part is that this offer applies to new members too for 18 months after you join. Considering that the retail price on Amazon for the encyclopedia is just shy of $600 and SAS membership costs $30 for regular members and $20 per year for students, we'd call that a deal. 

Check out the encyclopedia here:

7. To access the content, visit the The Encyclopedia of Archaeological Sciences eMRW homepage at https://www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119188230 where you should see a 'Full Access' logo alongside. You can access articles by title or topic under the ‘Find Articles’ menu on the left hand side of the screen.

You will be able to access The Encyclopedia of Archaeological Sciences eMRW online for 18 months from trial registration.

If you already have a Wiley Online Library (or previously, Wiley Interscience) username and password, follow steps 5-7 above.

Please do not share the password generally with students or other people in your department or laboratory.  As sponsors of the encyclopedia, the SAS negotiated free access on behalf of our membership; please respect that effort and your fellow members.

PS: Stay tuned for an interview with the editor of the encyclopedia, Dr. Sandra L. López Varela, in the SAS Bulletin later this year about how she led this huge undertaking.
