Comment. This is a great idea. Here's one more layer of utility to add on top: encourage archaeologists to tag OA sources (including journals, repositories, databases, datasets, articles, comments, presentations, and so on) with "oa.archaeology" in Connotea. If the sources are new, tag them with "oa.new" as well. Then the project could offer an RSS feed of OA archaeology sources, or new OA archaeology developments, or both. For more details, see the OA tracking project.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
