 FSTS Sources - Papers - A Brief History Of Archaeology In Minnesota
Another major figure in Minnesota archaeology, Jacob Vrandenburg Brower, recorded some of the details of this unfortunate situation in his journals, particularly his own outrage when it was learned that the heirs would not donate the Survey records to the Historical Society but rather required that they be purchased for several thousand dollars.
Like Hill, Brower was intrigued by the relationships between geography, history, and archaeology and attempted to articulate these in his series of publications, using what would later emerge in a somewhat different form as the direct historical approach in archaeology.
During the next decade Johnson dramatically expanded the archaeology program at the University and, as was happening in many parts of the country, shifted its emphasis to a problem-oriented and regional focus.

 Archaeology Wordsmith
By 1869, de Mortillet's scheme for the Stone Age had the following subdivisions: Thenaisian (for the now discredited eoliths), followed by Chellean, Mousterian, Solutrean, Aurignacian, Magdalenian, and (for the Neolithic) Robenhausian, named after a lake village -- though alterations and additions (Acheulian) were made later.
With further modifications, this classification was widely adopted and remained the standard terminology for European archaeology until well into the 20th century.
De Mortillet saw his epochs as periods of time or as stages of development with a universal validity, and his scheme was basically a refinement of the Three Age System.
