 Whose Pharaohs?: INTRODUCTION
Learning about archaeology primarily from the Europeans, Egyptians gradually came to realize that it could be turned to their own ends.
These developments in Egyptian archaeology and museology were part of a global process in which states and peoples, over the course of the nineteenth century, struggled to define themselves as modern nations.
For thirty years thereafter, Egyptianization of archaeology and the government progressed fitfully and rearguard actions enabled Europeans to keep a tenuous grip on the levers of power until the 1952 revolution.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Fanny Kemble (1809-1893)
The British actress and writer Fanny Kemble's infamous entanglement with Georgia began in the 1830s when she married Pierce Mease Butler, who in 1836 inherited his grandfather's legacy, including hundreds of slaves and several plantations on the Sea Islands.
Frances Anne Kemble was born in 1809 into the first family of the British stage.

 Archaeology and Our Religion - FARMS Papers
The idea of archaeology as the key to a man's origin and destiny was introduced as a weapon of anti-clerical polemic in the revolutionary movements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The eager visitor to a hundred recent diggings is fated to discover that people once lived in stone or brick or wooden houses, cooked their food (for they ate food) in pots of clay or metal over fires, hunted, farmed, fished, had children, died, and were buried.
But now archaeology has found too much; the worlds are there, but they are not isolated—not even China; they are all members of a single community, and by far the best handbook guide to the nature and identity of that community remains the Bible.

 Biblica 83 (2002) Ziony ZEVIT
By Biblical archaeology or knowledge of antiquity we mean the scientific representation of the way of life of the Israelite people as the only nation of antiquity that God had selected as bearer of revelations recorded in the Bible.
Considering ‘Biblical archaeology’ a perfectly good term with a long tradition in Biblical studies, ministerial training, and Christian education, they were not particularly bothered by issues raised by Dever and may have considered his call for change much ado about little.
Notwithstanding this crossover of rhetoric, the ‘minimalist-maximalist’ debate is unlike the ‘tenth century’ one with regard to the training of the disputants, the nature of the evidence, the quality of the evidence, and the type of the rhetoric.

 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.

 HISTORY
The first systematic European exploration of Egypt was in the late 18th century, and was undertaken by a small team of French scholars (known as savants) who accompanied Napoleon's military expedition through the Nile Valley.
Their task was to record all aspects of Egypt's flora, fauna and history, the results of which were published between 1809 and 1822 as the 24 volume "Description de l'Egypt".
Napoleon's expedition was bought to an end by the arrival of the British, but the French scholars were allowed to continue their work until 1802.

 City Art Gallery & Museum - Archaeology in Worcester 2000/01- Historic Suburbs
Historic Suburbs - While the late 1990s saw a notable concentration of archaeological work in relation to development on the northern edge of the city centre, 2000-01 saw a new focus on areas to the east and north-east, with several developments started or planned.
This included fragments of inkwells and a possible ceramic battery, made in Grainger's 'Chemical porcelain' and dating probably from the 1850s, bone china wasters from the mid and later 19th century, kiln furniture, several sherds dated to the period 1800-15, and a single sherd which can be dated to the period before 1805.
The early material is very important in that it confirms the probable location of the first Grainger factory, destroyed by fire in 1809, while the presence of unglazed wasters establishes that ceramics were actually made on site at that time, rather than just decorated there.

Although conservation treatments applied by conservators and restorers in general to archaeological and anthropological artifacts have not developed separately from conservation efforts in anthropology and archaeology, they generally represent two different trends of thought and practice which have influenced each other.
The earliest restorations were done in the classical workshops of craftsmen and artists of every great civilization.
