Archaeology is the study of the human past by analysis of the material remains.
Perhaps the most notable development in Florida archaeology in recent years is the dramatic growth of contract archaeology, which is the result of a host of federal, state, and local laws and ordinances designed to minimize or avoid the loss of archaeological knowledge due to construction or land development.
A major contribution of contract archaeology and cultural resource management (CRM) is the systematic survey of remote or little-studied regions of Florida, which has led to the recognition that prehistoric settlement patterns were more extensive and complex than previously had been thought.

 Tribute article by Kathryn Crabtree and Eugene Prince
As experimental archaeology, these studies are important in the history of archaeological theory.
Historical archaeologists have the advantage -- over those who study prehistory -- of access to documentary sources by which to check or support their interpretations of the data, and the information inherent in these early stones was prime material for learning more about the people who chose the designs and erected them as memorials.

At the time, archaeology in southern and western Cyprus was not exactly moribund: a Polish expedition had been exploring Nea Paphos since 1965, the German Archaeological Institute had been at Kouklia since 1966, and A.H.S. Megaw had begun excavations at Kourion in 1974.
A new institution involved in Cypriot archaeology is the University of Cyprus, with its Archaeological Research Unit.
Too much archaeology in Cyprus continues to be of the "rescue" and "salvage" variety, in response to the needs of hotels and sewer lines rather than a research design.

In 1835, the Champaign County Commissioners approved the survey of a road between the Sangamon ford at Middletown and the Urbana-Decatur road passing through Centerville.
Scott, who was compelled to travel it often, concluded to straighten it; and accordingly took his horses and plow, and drew a furrow from the Sangamon to Urbana, a distance of twelve miles, and by this direct line a road was made...."(Lothrop 1870:396).

 Archenfield Archaeology - Clun
In 1302 it was noted that 60 burgages were empty and only 85% paid rent (Buteux, 1996), by which time the town had begun to decline and the outbreaks of the Black Death between 1348 and 1374 would have accelerated this decline.
By 1605 only about 100 burgages were tenanted, and by 1835 only 25.
The castle was described as ‘somewhat ruinus’ by John Leland in 1540, and by the Civil War in the 1640’s was not seen fit to be garrisoned (Buteux 1996).
