New Tools on sarsen.org: Fact Checker, Second Reviewer & Site Search

I’ve added three new tools to help with reading and research on sarsen.org. They’re designed to make it easier to evaluate claims, review papers and drafts, and find relevant content from the site.

All three open Grok in a new tab and apply consistent standards — prioritising peer-reviewed evidence and applying careful scrutiny to weaker claims.

Archaeological Fact Checker

This tool helps assess the strength of individual claims. Paste a URL or short excerpt and it returns a structured analysis, clearly distinguishing between peer-reviewed sources, academic consensus, and single-author assertions.

It works best with focused claims or short passages.

Second Reviewer

This tool is designed for reviewing papers or drafts. Paste a short excerpt for a quick structured review, or use the full document option to upload a PDF or longer text directly into Grok (recommended for complete papers).

Search sarsen.org

A site-focused search that surfaces the most relevant posts from sarsen.org, along with context from the wider archaeological literature.

These tools are now available in the sidebar. They are intended as practical aids to support careful reading and research. I hope you find them useful.
