Help
Since biblatex-archaeology is an extension to the well-known biblatex package, first make sure that you have a basic knowledge of the latter. Then read the main part of the biblatex-archaeology manual carefully.
If there are any concerns, use the comment function below on this page, or use the GitHub tracker (see sources). If it should not be available to the public, you can drop me an e-mail employing the contact form of this site (via menu link).
As a sidenote, my online biblatex editor supports the additional biblatex-archaeology fields.

Sources
There are two ways to obtain the sources. The development code is hosted on GitHub. It includes Perl and shell scripts to speed up the development process but lacks ready-to-install LaTeX sources and PDF docs as those are generated from a DocStrip container. The GitHub files are divided into a development and a master branch. The development branch holds the current status of the development while the master branch provides the development code of the current release.
$ git clone https://github.com/CarlOrff/biblatex-archaeology.git
The CTAN distribution lacks all development-only scripts but contains the full bundle of production files in return. The path on the mirrors is
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-archaeology
As it provides only the current release you can obtain past releases here. These are the original archives as were uploaded to CTAN. A TDS compliant archive is included starting with v2.2. A changelog is to be found in the manual.

This BibTeΧ editor was made to speed up manipulation of entries that need a lot of manual processing. This happens fairly often in humanities where you frequently deal with historical or grey literature or archive records that are not delivered in BibTeΧ or any other common database format or at least not in satisfying quality (as fi. the BibTeΧ export of Google Books). It was never meant as a replacement for reference managers like JabRef and very likely will never be. There are a few things I am going to add in near future as they fit perfectly to the data structure:
- On the fly character substitition
- File upload through HTML5 file API
- Renaming entry fields
- Replace field name aliases of the old plain BibTeΧ styles
There are a few caveats, though. The biggest problem is the BibTeΧ parser needed for uploads. I tested several pure JavaScript libraries, but none of them proved flawless. I finally relied on BibTex.js by Steve Hannah. @STRING, @PREAMBLE and @COMMENT are simply ignored. Another problem is that I have no solution for how to design a special interface for the keyword field? Some hints:
- If you click into a line with an entry key in the output textarea, the corresponding entry gets loaded.
- If you click into a line with a field name, this particular field gets loaded (but the entry itself will not refresh!).
- Be careful with entry cloning! One often forgets to update all relevant data. If you are going to record a lot of similar entries, create a template for cloning.
