  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christian Archaeology
Christian archaeology is that branch of the science of archaeology the object of which is the study of ancient Christian monuments.
The principal aim of Christian archaeology, as indicated, is to ascertain all that is possible relative to the manners and customs of the early Christians from the monuments of Christian antiquity.
As a consequence of this difficulty, differences of opinion exist among archaeologists as to the chronological limits to be assigned to Christian archaeology.

 Bible Query on Old Testament Archaeology
Archaeology has provided a wealth of evidence on the reliability of the Bible.
Archaeology actually tells us that the city of Hazor was burned 1400 B.C, 1300 B.C. by the Egyptians, and 1230 B.C. Regardless of the bias of critics of the Bible, archaeology tells the story very precisely.
Can Archaeology Prove the Old Testament p.32 mentions that evidence of the burning was found that corresponds to about 1150 B.C. the Wycliffe Bible Dictionary p.1568-1569 says that the fortress-temple had walls 7 to 7 ½ feet thick, was 53 feet wide and 41 feet long, with the entrance on the long side.

 Archaeology
Archaeological teams commissioned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers stumbled upon the cemetery over the summer as they searched for evidence of a tobacco factory connected with the 18th century French Fort Rosalie.
Though at least two years of laboratory research are still ahead, period maps and recovered evidence suggest the cemetery serviced the fort, probably between its construction in 1716 and a 1729 Natchez Indian uprising that left the fort largely unmanned.
Tad Britt, Corps project archaeologist, said the find is not only important from a historical standpoint, it also offers a glimpse into the cultural, political, and socioeconomic aspects of French colonial life.

 Hurricane of 1715: Spanish Treasure Fleet Disaster, Discovery and Salvage
News of the disaster had swept the Americas and Europe much like the news of the Market crash would some 220 years later, and privateers, pirates and looters converged toward Palmar de Ayes (near present day Sebastian, Florida) like ravenous vultures.
Early in January 1716, pirate Henry Jennings aboard his well armed sloop, the 40-ton Barsheba, and John Wills aboard his 35-ton Eagle, both having been commissioned by governor Hamilton of Jamaica, attacked the Spanish salvage camp at Palmar de Ays, and detained the defenders (no casualties were reported) while looting the camp.
They made off with some 120,000 pieces of eight and other valuables, as well as two bronze cannon and two large iron guns.
