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.

 North American Archaeology
Following the Society for American Archaeology statement on ethics in the box on the right, this newly renovated course will encourage students to not only learn the basic content involved in North American ancient culture histories, but will seek to understand how the archaeological approach reflects and implements the seven principles as indicated:
Basic Archaeological Skills : Students of archaeology must also understand the epistemological ramifications of the discipline:how they come to know what they know about ancient peoples¼ life ways:ranging from understanding the basic skills archaeologists employ in the field to varied ways they understand and interpret what they encounter under the ground.
Throughout this course we will be noting the use of the techniques employed by archaeologists — both laboratory analysis and subsequent interpretation — to explain, rather than merely describe, the dynamics of life during ancient times in North America.

 The Archaeology of Hissarlik
The eighth settlement, built atop the remains of this last Bronze Age city, was unmistakably a Greek town, and was assigned to the beginning of the seventh century.
Archaeology could provide no clue, no trace of any human habitation between the extinction of Troy VIIb, supposedly ca.-1100, and the beginning of the Greek city slightly before -700.
Thus a Dark Age was called upon to envelop Troy.
