This is the finest news collection to all information of interest about ethnology, social anthropology, cultural anthropology and cyberanthropology.
But it's not only news. There is space for unready ideas, for anecdotes and senseless, but likeable stories. An emphasis is on the field of cyberethnology. We think, that the internet is a space with an emerging culture, and anthropology has to think about this culture, has to look at it, how it developes. We should try to understand how this new culture works. So don't be surprised to find tech news here. It's not only about bushman drums! Where does this come from
Not from outer space, only nearly. This page is maintained by the

Institute for cultural/social anthropology Oettingenstr. 67 80538 Munich/Germany. What is "antville"? What is a "blog"
This page resides on the server of antville.org, which is not affiliated with us. It is a great software and server that enables people to build a personal newssite fastly and easily. The sites on the server, and a lot of others in the world are also called "weblog" or "blog" in short. It's a revolution for media and internet, nothing else.
Read this excellent paper from Sébastien Paquet from the Université de Montréal discussing the use and the advantages of a weblog in science and research, and also this great short history and meaning of the word weblog of one of the earliest "bloggers" named Dave Winer, who came of course from the technological branch.
