	Wilson Scottish archaeology & Wordsworth memoirs
		Sir Daniel Wilson was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland, but became the Chair of the English and History at University College at the University of Toronto in 1854.
		He was considered not only to be an expert on the prehistory of Scotland, but also attributed with the first use of the term "prehistory" itself.
		Although the University of Toronto had no Anthropology Department until 1936, Wilson both researched and lectured on the archaeology and ethnology of the New World.

	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.

	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).

	Anthropological Sub-Disciplines
		Anthropology is the study of humankind, extant and extinct, from an all-encompassing approach.
		As a sub-discipline of anthropology, archaeology has the following objectives: construction of a cultural chronology, reconstruction of past lifeways, discovery of the processes which underlie and condition human behavior.
		The Division of Anthropology began its active participation in the study of South American archaeology in 1892 with Adolph Bandelier's expedition to Peru and Bolivia, under the patronage of Henry Villard.

		In 1892, half of registered voters in three Delta counties (Bolivar, Coahoma, and Quitman) were fl, and that fls registered to vote (paying poll and levee taxes and passing literacy requirements) were in the majority in Quitman County (142:124).
		Throughout this time, the IC sought advantages in the political battle that was going on in Mississippi and other Southern states between the populists (primarily poor whites from the hills) and the traditional powers of state government (dominated by Mississippi Valley planters in combination with "New South" industrial interests).
		Historic archaeology in Mississippi is in the stage of infancy, so the Mish project seemed a valuable chance to evaluate the significance of the many extinct, often short-lived, sawmill villages that sprang up in the decades around 1900.

		His sons, however, could retain use of that movable property for a period of five years, another indication that the father lacked the capital necessary to set up both of his sons in the manner in which he had hoped.
