The objective materialism of archaeology has a role to play in reconciling those myths with historical reality by examining the physical aspect of the cultural environment of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

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.

Historical archaeology studies typically identify sponge decorated wares with Scottish producers, and it has been suggested that the technique originated there in the 1830s, although they were also widely manufactured in Staffordshire and other British potting industries.
