You will find links to relevant online newspaper, magazine, and journal articles about writing systems, phonetics, and historical linguistics here. I try to keep update by surfing my favorite archaeoArticley and science sites, but suggestions are always welcome.

Note that I differentiate articles from websites (which are found in the Links section) on the basis that articles tend to only talk about recent discoveries or advancements, whereas websites tend to dwelve more deeply into their topics. Second, an article usually is published as part of an online newspaper, and a website appears as its own entity. And, finally, articles tend to have length of one or a few pages, whereas websites can range from one to thousand of pages.
