 Archaeology and Sports History
Archaeology is based generally on the idea that there are ancient remains of human activity to be studied and published to the aim of world history.
It is obvious that archaeology and history should have a very closed relation, and a big interest is to be established between archaeologists and historians, because the archaeologist also needs the historian to develop his information and draw a certain philosophy of history.
Archaeology is a field of interest to sport historians, especially those who have no texts in hand.

 The Bible & Archaeology - The Book of Acts: The Message Spreads
Thanks to the modern tools of archaeology, researchers have found much cultural, historical and geographical background material that supports the biblical account of Paul's trips through the Mediterranean world.
In addition, in 1887 his name was found on a memorial stone in Rome.
The key is found in Acts 18:2 where we learn that when Paul arrived in Corinth he found Priscilla and Aquila, who had lately come from Italy, having been banished from Rome in a general expulsion of Jews under Claudius, who reigned from 41-54.

 Central American Cultural Ecology: Costa Rica - Archaeology - History - 1840-1940   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
This period incorporates Fonseca's (1992:15) period (1850--1925) which he called "period of the pioneers of Costa Rican archaeology" and mentions both Anastasio Alfaro and Carl V. Hartman as the two names inseparable from the pioneer archaeological effort.
Taking a broader approach, Arias classified the entire period from 1840--1960 as the "synchronic descriptive period", which, as the term suggests, was focused on describing cultures as composed of particular norms and customs, but without an emphasis on temporal change or interrelationships between groups.
Echoing Fonseca's statement, Stone (1984:27) suggested that Anastasio Alfaro could be considered as "the father of Costa Rican archaeology".

By Biblical archaeology or knowledge of antiquity we mean the scientific representation of the way of life of the Israelite people as the only nation of antiquity that God had selected as bearer of revelations recorded in the Bible.
Considering "Biblical archaeology" a perfectly good term with a long tradition in Biblical studies, ministerial training, and Christian education, they were not particularly bothered by issues raised by Dever and may have considered his call for change much ado about little.
Notwithstanding this crossover of rhetoric, the "minimalist-maximalist" debate is unlike the "tenth century" one with regard to the training of the disputants, the nature of the evidence, the quality of the evidence, and the type of the rhetoric.

Increasing discussion and controversy in archaeology about issues such as reburial and the archaeological study of disenfranchised communities has demonstrated that we must work to make the past meaningful to the living representatives of communities we study.
At the recent Society for American Archaeology (SAA) conference in Minneapolis, it seemed to be the consensus that at least 70 percent of the archaeology being conducted in the country today is in response to federal regulations.
Similarly, compliance archaeology is the impetus for the rapid and massive growth in the field of African-American Archaeology since the late 1970s noted by Theresa Singleton in her recent bibliography on African-American Archaeology.

 Archaeology and the Book of Mormon - FARMS Review
Since the Tanners are well known for their unwillingness to present the Latter-day Saint case in anything but the most unfavorable light, my advice to potential readers—both Mormon and non-Mormon—is to ignore the Tanners and read the original sources which they anthologize.
What the Tanners have never done is to deal with the serious Latter-day Saint interpretations of the history, archaeology, linguistics, geography, and anthropology of the Book of Mormon which have appeared in the last quarter of a century.
Archaeology and the Book of Mormon is dealt with on pages 97-125, and "Updated Materials" on 125A to 125G; a comparison of the two volumes will show that nearly all of the material is substantially the same.

 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.

As a result, it became the ideal medium for travelers to use when they wanted to provide images of far-off lands and their inhabitants.
It might be said that photography and the nascent disciplines of anthropology and archaeology grew up together.

Aside from the danger of building faith on the 'highly ambiguous materials' of archaeology and the 'unavoidable subjective' and personal interpretations of the same, we should remember that archaeology at its best is a game of surprises.
Titles on books full of archaeological half- truths, dilettanti on the peripheries of American archaeology calling themselves Book of Mormon archaeologists regardless of their education, and a Department of Archaeology at BYU devoted to the production of Book of Mormon archaeologists do not insure that Book of Mormon archaeology really exists.
Biblical archaeology can be studied because we do know where Jersualem and Jericho were and are, but we do not know where Zarahemla and Bountiful (nor any other location for that matter) were or are (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1969, pp.77-78).

 NAGPRA NOTICES OF INVENTORY COMPLETION: Human Remains and Associated Funerary Objects in the Possession of the Peabody ...
A detailed assessment of human remains was made by Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Aleut Corporation; Aleutian/Pribilof Islands Association, Inc.; Ounalashka Corporation; and the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska.
Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology documentation describes both of these sets of human remains as ``Aleut.'' Historical documents and consultation information indicate that the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska, which is today represented by the Ounalashka Corporation, has traditionally occupied the area of the Aleutian Islands from which the human remains were collected.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology also have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between these Native American human remains and the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska, which is represented by the Ounalashka Corporation.
