  Category:Archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archaeology or archæology or sometimes in American English archeology (from the Greek words αρχαίος = ancient and λόγος = word/speech/discourse) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of cultural and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, culture history, cultural evolution, and human behaviour and ecology.
It is the only discipline that possesses the method and theory for the collection and interpretation of information about the pre-written human past, and can also make a critical contribution to our understanding of documented societies.

Although his formal training in archaeology consisted of a seminar on "Archaeology of Western Europe," which he attended in 1912-1913 at the University of Berlin (or Munich?), he is widely regarded as the "father of Iowa archaeology" (see Anderson 1975; Gillette 1952).
With Mills, Shetrone was one of the pioneers of "scientific" archaeology in the Midwest (Setzler with Baby 1956).

O'Curry was appointed Professor of Irish History and Archaeology on the establishment of the Catholic University of Ireland by John Henry Newman, who was known to have attended many of his lectures.
The initial study on the Romans and archaeology, a hilariously personal view of the subject, was Donald Strong?s inaugural lecture as Professor of the Archaeology of the Roman Provinces at London University.
His early death in 1973 was a great loss to the world of classical art and archaeology, and the publication under one cover of his papers on Roman art charts the development of a talent that made significant contributions to the subject in a comparatively short career.Cloth.

At the age of fifteen he entered a family business in London, with which he was connected for thirty-five years.
He devoted his leisure to the study of art, architecture, archaeology, Shakespeare, classical and modern languages and literature.
The work for which he is best known is The Age of Pericles (1875), a work notable for its scholarship and thorough appreciation of the period with which it deals, but rendered unattractive by a difficult and at times obscure style.

The first of these is most important because it belongs to the same period (if not to an even earlier one) as the famous cross of Justin II, of the sixth century, preserved in the treasury at St. Peter's, and which contains a relic of the True Cross set in jewels.

Most American archaeologists are most familiar with residential activities as they bear the closest relationship to the anthropological orientations that predominate traditional archaeological training and have the closest theoretical and methodological links to the aboriginal archaeology which most American archaeologists pursue.
Thus most archaeologists lack not only the training to identify artifacts and features encountered during archaeological work in cities, but lack the theoretical background to deal with nineteenth century urban and industrial systems.

 Collections: The Anthropology Department at The Field Museum
Since its inception, one of anthropology’s fundamental goals has been the explanation of the evolution of social inequalities and the notion of change through time.
In modern archaeology, the neo-evolutionist stepladder explanatory model, that charts social evolution from simple social formations to increasingly more complex ones, has been dominant (Carneiro 1970; Fried 1967; Service 1975).
The stepladder model of bands becoming tribes, then chiefdoms, and finally states as first proposed by the late Elman Service (1962) suggested that society evolves in a series of identifiable stages, with that of the state representing the culmination of the process towards organizational complexity.

For the next five decades he was at the forefront of the development of archaeology in the country, before turning in the 1920s to the archaeology of Palestine.
He worked at a much higher number of sites, and with much greater speed, than an archaeologist would today; he saw his life as a mission of rescue archaeology - to retrieve as much information as possible from sites that were shrinking dramatically in size as Egypt modernized.
In 1893 Petrie became the first Edwards Professor of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology at University College London, and was able to form his own Egyptian Research Account to support excavation in Egypt.

A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon.
Museum documentation describes the human remains as ``Snake.'' Historical documents and consultation information indicate that the Yahooskin Band of Snake Indians occupied the area where the remains were collected during the 19th century, and that the Yahooskin Band of Snake Indians joined with the Klamath Indians on the Klamath Reservation beginning in 1864.
Officials of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 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 Klamath Indian Tribe of Oregon.
