	Dartmouth Library Collection Development Policy Archaeology
		Structurally, archaeology at Dartmouth is a field of study in the Anthropology and Classics Departments and its history is directly connected to the history of these 2 departments at the College.
		Archaeology has had a strong representation from the hiring of Charles Hawes in 1909 through the tenure of Elmer Harp, followed by Deborah Nichols and Paul Goldstein, whose teaching and research focus upon the archaeology of Central Mexico and the Andean Highlands respectively.
		The subject matter of classical archaeology had long been a part of courses in classics, ancient history, and art history, and by the 1950s it was formally represented by a pair of courses, one in Greek and one in Roman archaeology.

	Tennessee Historical Quarterly Special Issue -- Tennessee's History Through Archaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		As historical archaeology came of age in the 1960s and 1970s, it adopted an anthropological approach to the study of past culture, especially the lifeways of the invisible people undocumented in the written records.
		American urban archaeology began to develop as a distinct specialty by the late 1970s, and large-scale urban projects had been completed or were underway in thirteen cities by 1982.
		Archaeology can then complete the picture by providing detailed insights into how the residents lived, what they ate, and what types of things they kept in their homes.

	George Rogers Clark - Archaeology of a Frontier Hero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		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.
