 Archaeology of Maine by Warren K. Moorehead - 1922
Moorehead's study of Maine archaeology when he was the head of the Philips Academy Archaeology Department in Andover, Massachusetts.
In the early years of the Department of Archaeology of Phillips Academy* some observations were made in that part of Essex county lying nearest to Andover, and a scouting expedition was made through the Mer-rimac valley and on Cape Cod.
Our regular exploring expedition occupied the summers from 1912 to 1920, omitting 1916, which was devoted by the Director to a Susquehanna exploration not under Phillips Academy jurisdiction but for the Museum of the American Indian, New York, and to the Connecticut River survey of 1919, the report on which will be published later.

Maritime archaeology is a discipline that studies human interaction with the sea, lakes and rivers through the study of vessels, shore side facilities, cargoes and human remains.
Maritime archaeology can be divided in a three-tier hierarchy, of which the first tier consists of the archaeology of shipwrecks and wreck sites.
The third tier consists of the archaeology of maritime cultures, in which nautical technology, naval warfare, trade and shipboard societies are studied.

But these excavations, conducted during the early days of archaeology in Israel, left open many important questions concerning the cultural and social history of Beth-Shemesh.
The aim of the new excavations initiated in 1990 by Shlomo Bunimovitz and Zvi Lederman of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University is to answer these questions.
In the course of the past eleven seasons of excavation (1990-2000) mainly remains from the Iron Age (periods of the Judges and the Israelite Monarchy, 12th-7th centuries BCE) were exposed.

Many theories have been presented to account for the spread of metallurgy in the 3rd millennium B.C., through Beaker Folk in the west, torque-bearers in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, and Khirbet-Kerak people in the Near East, as well as Cycladic colonists in Iberia and Trojan prospectors in eastern Europe.
As there are no known sources of tin anywhere in the Aegean, the Eastern Mediterranean (apart from Egypt), or the Near East, the appearance of tin-bronze in such widely separated areas as north-western Anatolia (Troy), Cyprus (Vounous), and southern Mesopotamia (Ur and Kish) requires a network of trade routes covering a considerable area...

 The Three Parhenons
The archaeological argument of Penrose impressed Dörpfeld, who was most careful in matters of archaeology, when this is understood in a narrow sense, but was inclined to take a cavalier attitude with historical evidence.
In 1882 and 1892 he had dated the substructure and Parthenon I in the Cimonian age; then, in 1902, he had dated them before 480 B.C., because of the supposed traces of the Persian fire, but had dated them as late as possible because of the chronological datum provided by the Cimonian Wall.
Now, in 1912, when confronted with the existence of Parthenon II, he tried to solve the chronological difficulty merely by shifting the traces of fire from the steps of Parthenon I to the steps of Parthenon II.
