  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.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christian Archaeology
Christian archaeology is that branch of the science of archaeology the object of which is the study of ancient Christian monuments.
The principal aim of Christian archaeology, as indicated, is to ascertain all that is possible relative to the manners and customs of the early Christians from the monuments of Christian antiquity.
As a consequence of this difficulty, differences of opinion exist among archaeologists as to the chronological limits to be assigned to Christian archaeology.

 BibleDudes: Biblical Studies: Archaeology
Perusers of BibleDudes, archaeology is the study of arches, and the three most important arches pertaining to the Bible are as follows: Titus' arch in Rome, L'arc de Triumph in Paris, and my personal favorite, that big metal one in St. Louis.
Actually, archaeology involves dirt and adventure, but most of all, archaeology is the scientific examination of material remains from humans in the past.
And when archaeology is applied to the lands where biblical stories were set, this often involves a "Tell" (in Arabic) or "Tel" (in Hebrew), both words meaning "small mound." We asked one of our favorite small mounds, Tel Megiddo, to explain further.

 Dangerous Archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Archaeology did not emerge as a discrete discipline until the turn of the last century.
The central notion from which archaeology developed is quite straightforward: humankind has left material traces of its history in and on the earth.
Moreover, he formulated a definition of archaeology as the study of ancient and mediaeval monuments and written sources, to be correlated with the sciences of minerology, physical geography, ethnology, and anthropology, as well as the history of art.

 Timelines for Biblical Archaeology
Biblical Archaeology really became a science when Sir Flinders Petrie excavated a tel on the basis of "stratigraphy" in 1890, coupling it with the dating of artifacts based on their association with the layers in which they were found.
The passing of the classical era of Biblical archaeology sometime in the 1960s or 1970s, which was inevitable in retrospect, means that we have lost our traditional base of support (the seminaries).
For example, Biblical Archaeology presently accuses the Egyptians of the destruction of Canaanite cities at the end of Middle Bronze IIC, though hard evidence is non-existent, but this revision would require Israel to be charged instead.

It was also in this period that archaeology became an option for the Tripos, the Museum of Classical Archaeology was established, and the tradition of the Greek play was introduced.
Beard points out that at the beginning religion was part of this; myth, ritual, the visual arts, culture (both material and 'daily life') were taught together, and that the most radical contributions to the 'anthropology' of the ancient world made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries arose from precisely this mix.
Beard contends that it was this distinctively British understanding of archaeology that framed Harrison's work, that 'Harrison the Archaeologist captures the historical specificity of her work so much better than Harrison the Ritualist' (p.

 Caveman Cannibalism Confirmed
Whether some Neanderthals ate their own kind has been a controversy since the turn of the century, when Neanderthal bones bearing suspicious scars were discovered in Croatia.
Critics argued that maybe those bones had been gnawed by animals, cut for some burial ritual or merely damaged by the primitive techniques of 1890's archaeology.
But the discovery by a team of French and American scientists, who preserved the Moula-Guercy cave on the Rhone River like a crime scene and used forensics techniques to examine the bones, should settle the issue, they say.

 Am. Archaeology
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.

 Fifth Gender and Archaeology Conference: Abstracts
In the Potomac River valley of Virginia and Maryland, archaeologists have analyzed the remains of shellfish and fauna to study seasonality and subsistence, and have examined the artifacts from stratified midden deposits to define temporally-diagnostic artifacts.
Early gender studies in archaeology often used a modified systems approach, presuming that gender could be analyzed as an individual component working within the larger contexts of past cultures.
While this was logical early step in an engendered archaeology, research to date has shown that removing gender from its cultural milieu is at best difficult; at worst, a systems approach simply projects a simulacrum of Euro-American culture into the past.
