Blogs to watch
I don't report on these on a daily basis, although I have them all saved to Google Reader for my own entertainment. If there are any news items that I think may be of interest then I report them, but the daily updates are interesting in their own right and I thought that others might like to see them.
If you are using a similar services to see blogs via RSS news feeds then the following might be of interest to you. Not all are updated daily, or even frequently, but all are of interest. Obviously the dig diaries will end when the current season's excavations come to a close. They are listed in no particular order.

- Warakat Lahma
- Egga
- Fatta
- Spinach with rice
