Good day!
Through the end of the year, I am
offering special pricing on WWW server
space. $25 per month will get you 25
megs of space including email aliasing.
You will have FULL control of the space
through Telnet and FTP. NO long term
commitment. Your own domain name is only
$50 per year (first two years payable in
advance). (Remember: it's YOUR domain
name and thus you can transfer it to
another provider at will.)
A set up fee of $75 covers any/all of
the above.
Other plans are available.

Right now I am researching Surveying in the Levant and Egypt for my
Masters thesis.  It is suprising that there is little information about
surveying history.  Anyone who has any info about historical sources,
both original and secondary, should please post them.

I seem to remember POB Magazine having an article on the survey of India
during the 1800's a couple of years ago. You might check back issues.

Ground penetrating radar is well suited for this objective.  I happen
to have a set of GPR (pulseEKKOIV) and have surveyed grave sites quite
successfully.  Let me know if you want further information on this
technology.

Reflection seismic is not appropriate for this application - the
resolution will likely be too poor due to the long wavelength.
