  Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies
The new Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies was created through a merger of two departments, the Department of Archaeology and the Department of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History.
Archaeology, previously “Comparative Archaeology”, is the oldest discipline, as Oscar Montelius was already lecturing in this field in 1887—1893 at Stockholm University College (later to become Stockholm University) and it was established as a discipline in its own right in 1917.
Classical Archaeology and Ancient History was established in 1948, through grants collected to commemorate the birth of the Swedish author Viktor Rydberg.

 BBC - History - William Wilberforce (1759 - 1833)
In 1807, the slave trade was finally abolished, but this did not free those who were already slaves.
It was not until 1833 that an act was passed giving freedom to all slaves in the British empire.
Wilberforce retired from politics in 1825 and died on 29 July 1833, shortly after the act to free slaves in the British empire passed through the House of Commons.

  Harpers Ferry Archaeology, Excavation Tour
This map indicates the location of the 1833 Church building's east and west facades with dashed lines; the solid lines show the "footprint" of the current Church, built in 1896.
This lack of undisturbed, compacted soil most likely is the result of later landscaping and construction changes, and associated digging-up of the grounds, which obliterated the original footprints of this bell tower.

 Tees Archaeology - Saxon Monastery, Hartlepool
In 657 land was given to Hild to found a monastery at Whitby, and although she retained control of Hartlepool, both church and royal attention moved there with her.
Hartlepool is one of the most extensively explored of the Northumbrian monasteries of the 7th to 8th Centuries, with significant finds continuing to be made in the town today.
However, excavations by Tees Archaeology on the Friarage Field in July 2003 discovered the remains of Saxon buildings, pits and fences further east than previously thought.

The Museum of Archaeology at the Old Fulling Mill in Durham City is one of the most photographed buildings in the North East: scenically located below Durham Cathedral on the banks of the River Wear.
Although the origins of the museum can be traced back to 1833, it was not until the mid 1970s that the Fulling Mill took on its present role as a home for Durham University’s archaeological collections.

 African-American Archaeology Newsletter, Spring 1999
Within historical archaeology, a recent example that is relevant to the discussion of vulgar anti-essentialism and race obliviousness is provided by M. Drake Patten's paper on the politics surrounding excavation of the Foster Homesite in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The 1998 archaeology project examined the remains of what is believed to have been the house of Colonel Stephen Blucke, the man who led the Black Loyalists to Birchtown.
The main subject of the 1998 Birchtown archaeology project was the suspected home of Colonel Stephen Blucke, the leader of the Black Loyalists in Birchtown, which historical evidence suggested was located on the property of Thelma Acker, very close to the shore.

 Chapter 2: Archaeology, Egyptology, Imperialism, Colonialism   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1833 the European “lust to own the exotic,” as Fagan aptly puts it, prompted one monk, Father Geramb, to remark with some irony that “it would hardly be respectable, on one's return from Egypt, to present oneself in Europe without a mummy in one hand and a crocodile in the other” (Fagan 1975:11,13).
The structure of archaeology has changed; the incentives and punishments for removing antiquities have shifted sufficiently that no trained archaeologist would contemplate taking something home as a souvenir of his or her excavation.
Archaeology is used to shore up contemporary Egyptian nationalism by drawing parallels between the modern nation-state and the glorious pharaonic past.

 African-American Archaeology Newsletter, Spring 1994
Some university officials view the field study and Patten's proposed class which would be open to students and interested local residents, as a way to patch up frayed relations between the school and Charlottesville fls who have been leery of university expansion into one of their neighborhoods.
The field study class would focus on basic archaeology, identification and research of the Foster family and property, which was purchased in 1833 by family matriarch Catherine Foster.
Although acknowledging that there are few fls in the field of archaeology, Michael L. Blakey, director of the African burial ground project at Howard University, said he has misgivings about the proposed field study and the so-far all-white team that would conduct it.

 INTRODUCTION TO BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
Biblical archaeology is that area of archaeology which throws light upon our understanding of the Bible.
As such, Biblical archaeology will be primarily restricted to the study of the culture and history of the Middle East and the Mediterranean world - that area which served as the historical context for the Bible.
There are many archaeologists who reject the Bible out of hand, going so far as to deny the historicity of the patriarchs, the Exodus event and the existence of David or Solomon and their kingdoms.

 Norfolk Museums & Archaeology Service: James Reeve 1833-1920   (Site not responding. Last check: )
However, Reeve’s greatest achievement was the product of his life-long passion to re-establish the artists of the Norwich School, especially his work relating to John Sell Cotman (1782-1842) and John Crome (1768-1821).
Reeve was born in Norwich on 12 May 1833, but not a great deal is known about his family, education and early life.
George Levine, whose father was a nephew of Reeve, speaks about Reeve’s early years and tells us that he was educated at the Presbyterian School under a Mr Allcock.
