If the archaeology of the Near/Middle East is an interest of yours, check out the Biblical Archaeology Society (BAS) (http://www.bib-arch.org/). We, too, have a forum (http://forum.bib-arch.org/?__utma=1.4217220680807274500.1235320365.123843025 7.1238438498.24&__utmb=1.0.10.1238438516&__utmc=1&__utmx=1.&__utmz=1.1235320365.1.1.utmcsr=%28direct%29%7Cutmc cn=%28direct%29%7Cutmcmd=%28none%29&__utmv=-&__utmk=74983954) where you are welcome.
