A review of the different approaches that challenge these basic problems of urbanism is of crucial importance for establishing the theoretical foundations for the archaeology of the city.
Beyond their purely theoretical value, they should be considered as highly instructive in the social perspective of archaeology applied in this study.
One cannot try to explain the social significance of a specific type of urban community without bearing in mind the general concepts that dominate our understanding of the role of the city in society.Any attempt to provide a comprehensive and agreed upon definition of a city is soon confronted with serious obstacles.

 Highway Archaeology and Salvage Programs - Back in Time - Highway History - FHWA
With the founding of the Highway Archaeology Program in New Mexico in 1954, the need to hurry up and get out of the way ended and a working relationship was formed among highway officials and archaeologists.
The program, also called salvage archaeology and born from the need to preserve artifacts uncovered during construction, is supported by the Federal Highway Administration, State Departments of Transportations and museums.
Archaeology is an important part of the environmental program.

 The Bible and Archaeology
Because this impression that archaeology's role is to "prove the Bible" is so strong, especially among more conservative and evangelical scholars, it is appropriate to digress for a moment and examine Biblical principles that can inform us of the abuses and proper uses of archaeology with regards to Biblical research.
The final area where archaeology can make a contribution is in refuting the challenges that critics have laid against the Bible's historical veracity.
In summary, we have attempted to describe the relationship of archaeology to the study of Scripture within a context that accepts the Bible as the fully inspired, authoritative Word of God that includes a truthful and accurate history of God's dealings with humanity from the time of Creation to the present age.

 Industrial Archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Industrial archaeology is the recording, study, interpretation and preservation of the physical remains of industrially related artifacts, sites and systems within their social and historical contexts.
Over the last 13 years, the MHS Archaeology Department has conducted a number of seasons of research on industrial sites in Minneapolis, Minnesota as part of a project sponsored by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
The study of Industrial Archaeology adds to our understanding of this significant change in the human condition by adding a tangible dimension to technical studies, by providing technical information on obsolete processes not obtainable from other sources, and by supplying useful reference points of economic growth and social change.

 African-American Archaeology Newsletter, Spring 1995
Increasing discussion and controversy in archaeology about issues such as reburial and the archaeological study of disenfranchised communities has demonstrated that we must work to make the past meaningful to the living representatives of communities we study.
At the recent Society for American Archaeology (SAA) conference in Minneapolis, it seemed to be the consensus that at least 70 percent of the archaeology being conducted in the country today is in response to federal regulations.
Similarly, compliance archaeology is the impetus for the rapid and massive growth in the field of African-American Archaeology since the late 1970s noted by Theresa Singleton in her recent bibliography on African-American Archaeology.

 Arctic Studies Center - Alaska Office - Kenai Fjords Oral History and Archaeology Project
Russian, British and Spanish vessels made contacts with a resident Alutiiq (Sugpiaq) population along this coast during the 18th and 19th centuries, and Native hunters were recruited for the Russian sea otter fleets.
Geological results of the project revealed the dynamic character of the outer coast environment, where glacial advances and great earthquakes have periodically reshaped the landscape and disrupted human habitation.
At that time, average air and sea temperatures were significantly lower than they are today and the climate-sensitive marine ecosystem is likely to have offered a rather different proportional mix of sea mammal, fish and bird species.

The clay figure of a skull discussed in this analysis is now on display as part of a permanant exhibit, entitled The Story of Virginia, at the Virginia Historical Society Museum in Richmond, Virginia.
The next question is whether the skull was the product of a conjuration tradition associated with one or more ethnic groups in the relevant region and time period.
Fairly extensive evidence is available from oral histories, slave narratives, and other studies in folklore and archaeology to support the interpretation that this skull was produced in accordance with African American traditions of folk religion.

This study is part of the long-term archaeological research program at Stratford that is co-sponsored by the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association, which owns and operates Stratford Hall Plantation, and the Department of Historic Preservation at Mary Washington College.
Both structures dated from about 1770 to 1820, roughly corresponding to the ownership period of Henry "Lighthorse Harry" Lee.
These buildings likely were slave quarters, and their placement in an area just beyond the Great House complex referenced a larger re-organization of the plantation's architecture, landscape, and residents during a time of economic restructuring.

In the fall of 2000, Benjamin Ford is teaching an interdisciplinary field archaeology course for undergraduate and graduate students that will focus on the Jeffersonian period at Monroe Hill House and its grounds.
Three years later, the University acquired another forty-eight acres of the Monroe Hill property, including “dwellings and appurtenances.” The University proctor lived in the residence from 1820 to 1848, when dormitories were constructed adjacent to it for “state students” and a steward moved into the home to serve as hotel keeper.
Ford points out that, as a crucial aspect of a historic preservation program, archaeology can provide new evidence and information, confirm existing theories, or challenge prevailing myths.
