	History of Polynesian Archaeology
		The greatest impetus to Polynesian archaeology, however, occurred in 1920 when geologist Herbert E. Gregory acceded to the directorship of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, convened the first international Pan-Pacific Science Conference, and proclaimed the study of Polynesian archaeology and anthropology should be a major research priority (Kirch 2000:20-24).
		The rejuvenation of stratigraphic archaeology in Polynesia, and its expansion beyond Polynesia into the western Pacific, was initially driven by a strong culture-historical orientation, encouraged by rapid success in defining considerable time depth and sequences of material culture change (whether in ceramic styles, or in fishhooks and stone adzes).
		As Green summarized the perspective of settlement pattern archaeology, with “...increasing concern with delineating the social aspect of the data recovered from sites..., the day has passed when such monuments or their structural features can afford to be treated only as contexts for portable artifacts and not as artifacts in their own right” (Green 1967:102).

	Central Australia Archaeology Project - Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Central Australia Archaeology Project is a research program developed by Judy Birmingham and Andrew Wilson from Sydney University’s School of Archaeology.
		Archaeology has a particular capacity to examine such questions of cultural interaction as it provides evidence from both sides of the process.
		We would also like to acknowledge the work of the diverse and ever increasing CAAP team, who have made the project possible by contributing their time and talents, whether in the bush, in the library or in the lab.

	Bible Archaeology Seminars
		Many have claimed that this is the account of the biblical flood with the parallels in the fact that a man passed safely through flood waters, he was commanded to build a boat, put his family, animals onboard and a dove, raven and swallow was sent out (Gen. 8:3).
		Archaeology has also revealed that the Hyksos buried their people in the fetal position and were involved in human sacrifice.
		Though archaeology has been growing in popularity with Blums book "The Gold of the Exodus" I dont think the end justifies the means.

	New Philadelphia, Illinois, 1872
		This excerpt from the 1872 Atlas Map of Pike County shows a portion of Hadley Township, including "Philadelphia" (shown here as a grid of town lots, with Frank McWorter's estate immediately to the north), surrounding properties, and the new town of Hadley Station at the railroad to the northwest of New Philadelphia.
		This Atlas also provided a map of Philadelphia's lots and streets, which depicts the town lot designations in a manner consistent with the original plat laid out by Frank McWorter in 1836.
		Compare this 1872 map with a similar map of the area from an 1860 Atlas.

		This is one of seven casts of statues in the Cairo Museum donated to the original Kelvingrove Museum by the Museum of Science and Art in Edinburgh in 1877.
		One of the fascinating aspects of the archaeology collection is that many of the objects were donated by amateur collectors.
		James Stevenson of Hailie, Largs was one such man. He was a partner in a chemical manufacturer which owned a sulphur mine on the island of Vulcano, off the north coast of Sicily.

	Women Researching African Archaeology
		Western ideology held that women and people of other cultures, were inferior to European men, and it may have been their similar standpoint that allowed women Africanist archaeologists to view more clearly the intelligence of the indigenous peoples of Africa and in turn acknowledge their responsibility for creating complex African civilization.
		The first fl African to publish an article on African archaeology in one of the four major journals of African archaeology was Ekpo Eyo in the West African Journal of Archaeology in 1974.
		Margaret Murray was the first woman to teach archaeology at a university and to incorporate women into reconstructions of African prehistory.

	Newsvine - archaeology
		The 3,000-year-old face of a woman — her eyes lined in fl kohl — stared out from a sarcophagus funerary mask through the freshly unsealed door of a tomb.
		Romantic ideas of archaeology tend to be outdoors in nature, adventurous excursions to lost cities, ancient tombs and, occasionally, temples of doom.
		In 1872, so the story goes, workers digging a hole for a fence post near Lake Winnipesaukee in the central part of this New England state found a lump of clay that seemed out of place.

	Heritage Archaeology
		If a small waterwheel was used inside a large wheel housing, the retention of an excess amount of water within the housing would lead to water-drag.
		The archaeological remains are consistent with historical mining and correspondent’s reports, and strongly indicate that lower water-wheel was 26 feet in diameter (Gundagai Times 19 June 1869; Australian Town and Country Journal 16 March 1872; AR NSW 1876; AR NSW 1882; Harper 1916).
		In 1872, a small party of individual miners encouraged by their prospecting results, sank a test shaft on the bank of Adelong Creek, at Grahamstown.

	Museum of Archaeology
		Our museum was formerly housed in the buildings of the Hoger Instituut voor Kunstgeschiedenis en Oudheidkunde (Institute of Art History and Archaeology), designed by the famous architect Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) as part of the University's Library complex.
		The end of the century sees substantial additions with a small group of Egyptian antiquities (collection Lindqvist, 1895), an array of flint artefacts from the province of Hainaut, formerly belonging to the Cloquet collection (July 1896) and -finally- the arrival of several Early Bronze Age excavated finds from the Siret collection (1897-98).
		The brothers Henri and Louis Siret had been very active in southeastern Spain and the publication of their impressive Les premiers âges du métal dans le sud-est de l'Espagne (Antwerp, 1887) ensured them an ever lasting place in the history of archaeology.

		These ditches were revetted with substantial timber posts and were probably lined with planks, suggesting that they also served as drainage ditches.
		We also found a small cremation cemetery including three cremation burials and dumps of pyre debris (several burials were found during excavations in 1872 and 1925 at 112-114 Fenchurch Street, approximately 20m to the north).
		All three of the cremation burials had been severely disturbed, probably very shortly after the cemetery fell out of use (see Fig.1).

		Dr John G Dony (1899-1991) was one of those people (like LTC Rolt) who took an interest in what we now call industrial archaeology (or at least industrial history) before the term industrial archaeology came into use.
		Before the Second World War he made a study of the straw-plaiting and straw-hat industries of the South Midlands and in 1941 was awarded a PhD by the University of London for his work.
		The LB Croydon Bereavement Service has expressed itself willing to allow interested persons to visit ‘behind the scenes’ at mutually agreed convenient times by appointment At least one non-Christian faith requires the cremation to be witnessed, behind the scenes by those attending, and obviously an ‘industrial archaeology’ visit would not be appropriate in that context.
