	Alexandria Archaeology Museum - Discovering the Decades: 1770s (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		At the beginning of the 1770s, Alexandria's economy was on a sound footing as its merchants were gradually switching from the export of tobacco to wheat, corn barley and oats must of which was raised in the Shenandoah Valley.
		In 1777 a new tavern of large proportions was under construction by John Dalton at the northeast corner of Cameron and Fairfax streets, but it was not completed until after his death.
		Alexandria Archaeology's tavern collections naturally have a high proportion of beverage related vessels including punchbowls, mugs, tankards, posset cups, wine bottles and glasses, tumblers and firing glasses (thick bottomed vessels for toasting), and tea wares.

		The gravemarkers at Huguenot Cemetery display a range of funerary art popular in the 19th century, including false box tombs with inscribed ledgers and finely carved headstones by highly skilled stone carvers in vogue during the 1820s-40s, and the more elaborate monuments that were favored during the Victorian period.
		Members of historical and preservation organizations took action to cleanup the cemetery in the 1980s; the organization raised some funds for initial work, later private funding was obtained through a local trust for restoration of markers by professional conservators.
		Archaeology students at New College documented the grave markers; the Cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

	Waste Flake : PopularArchaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One of the underlying reasons for the popularity of archaeology is that archaeologists do not only dig in the ground but also in certain popular notions.
		In this paper, I shall demonstrate that the image of archaeology in popular culture is dominated, in particular, by references to three key themes.
		In the light of these three prominent themes of archaeology, it should not surprise anybody that for many the process of doing archaeology is more exciting and important than its actual results.

		Heritage Malta was also immediately faced with several large projects, such as the moving of its offices from the National Museum of Archaeology to new digs on Valletta's Merchants Street, to a comprehensive upgrade of conservation and facilities at the Tarxien megalithic temple complex, to a complete revamp of the "Roman Villa" museum.
		The old headquarters was in upper level rooms of the National Museum of Archaeology, which occupies the Auberge de Provence, the residence of the Knights who came from Provence.

	Department of Archaeology - 45th Annual Report
		Catriona Pickard, a postgraduate student in the Department of Archaeology, acted as Assistant Director of the project, and eight undergraduate students from the Department of Archaeology participated in the field- and post-excavation work, which was supported by grants from the Carnegie Trust, the Russell Trust and The University of Edinburgh.
		The site is of particular interest to prehistoric archaeology on account of occupation deposits of Early Bronze and Early Iron Age date often encountered beneath the levels of the Archaic and Hellenistic city, which extends for several hectares across a ridge overlooking the Gornalunga river valley (east-central Sicily).
		SCS members from the Department of Archaeology carried out a preliminary survey in the loch to establish whether the visible islands are artificial or natural and to see whether the water of the loch was clear enough to carry out full-scale survey in the summer.

	George Rogers Clark - Archaeology of a Frontier Hero
		Archaeology by, and related to, George Rogers Clark in Indiana can be separated into several locations to highlight.
		With his explorations of an Indian burial mound on his Virginia estate in the 1780s, Jefferson conducted the first attempt at a scientific excavation, with understandings of stratigraphy, and its importance, and the development of excavation techniques (Ceram 1971:3, 6-8).
		Battlefield archaeology is happening in many locations across the country (see http://www2.cr.nps.gov/abpp/Hidden/Hidden.htm), and archaeology in Indiana, as mentioned earlier, has the potential to not only produce additional information to enhance our understanding of the military campaign in Vincennes, but to expand the body of knowledge regarding Clark in general.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Patrick Benedict Zimmer
		He studied the Humanities and philosophy at Ellwangen, theology and jurisprudence at Dillingen; was ordained priest, 1 April 1775; became repetitor of canon law at the College of St. Jerome at Dillingen in 1777, and professor of dogmatic theology at the University of Dillingen in 1783; in 1791 also pastor of Steinheim.
		Though Zimmer rendered great service to the Church and religion by his fearless and successful combat against the Kantian Rationalism which was prevalent at Ingolstadt, he was himself a passionate adherent of the idealistic pantheism of Schelling, without, however, compromising his Catholic convictions in practice.
		To lessen the danger of inculcating his philosophical tenets in his lectures, he was relieved of the professorship of positive theology and given that of Biblical archaeology and exegesis in 1807.
