Their domination in Wielkopolska archaeology between 1857 and 1885 was facilitated by the practically complete extinction of the official Prussian archaeological recovery and the sufficiently general conviction then among Germans, that archaeological relics found in Wielkopolska Province are Slavonic and not worth protection or interest.

 Fantastic Archaeology: The Wild Side of North American Prehistory - FARMS Review
A Harvard University chairholder in American archaeology has here published his own textbook for an undergraduate class entitled "Fantastic Archaeology." This is an undeniably interesting read which unintentionally provides an illuminating look into less-than-desirable aspects of establishment archaeological thought.
The tone of this chapter illustrates, unfortunately, the accuracy of Sir Mortimer Wheeler's remark that archaeology is not so much a science as a vendetta.
Fantastic Archaeology will sell to the public despite its faults because the topic is hip and the writing is good.

American archaeology as a professional or academic discipline also took time to develop from amateur antiquarians or pure relic seekers (pot-hunters).
This develpoment was compounded by the prejudice toward Native American culture and a bias that actually blinded many early antiquarians from recognizing that the many mounds found in the East were actually components of Native American cultures.
However, in 1960 L. Binford proposed a "New Archaeology" that delved into general laws and cognition that has emerged into what was called processual archaeology; changing to specific cases of the process of cultural change and explanation derived from ecological and cultural factors.

 Siskiyou Trail Project
During the summer of 2002, SOU archeologists conducted an archeological survey of a 2.5 km long section of the Siskiyou Trail, a portion of the Oregon-California trail that, beginning in the 1820's, linked the expanding Euro-American population centers the Willamette Valley and the Sacramento Valley/San Francisco area.
After being used as a fir trader's route, the trail was 'opened' by Ewing Young in the 1830's when he drove cattle over the summit from California to provision (in the face of English interests) the burgeoning American settlements in the Willamette Valley.
These remains are reasonably identified with the portion of the trail used by the HBC after 1827, and by the first gold miners and emigrants to cross between Oregon and California in the late 1840's and 1850's.

 Archaeology around Knutsford
Inside the church, under the chancel arch close to the altar and built into the wall, there is a very large representation of the famous 'Alice In Wonderland Cheshire cat' as it is usually depicted today.
It is possible that Lewis Carroll may have known of this and other 'Cheshire cats' via his father, Rev. Charles Dodgson (vicar of Daresbury 1827 to 1843), who was a travelling Cheshire clergyman who also had relatives living in Cheshire.
On the outside of the church there is another representation of a grinning stone 'Cheshire cat' and a head which resembles the 'Queen Of Hearts' character from 'Alice In Wonderland'.

Keyhole excavation was carried out extensively in Roman military archaeology by Ian Richmond, who produced overall plans of many forts and fortresses in northern Britain by the judicious excavation of small narrow trenches, carefully placed to check critical details of the fairly predictable layout of their internal structures.
However, Planning Policy Guidance 16: archaeology and planning (1990) has transformed the way in which most excavation is conducted in England by embedding it in the wider processes of planning and development.
