Topic: 1915 in archaeology


  
  Utah History Encyclopedia
In 1945 a department of archaeology was established at BYU.
The nature of archaeology in Utah and in the United States generally was drastically altered in the 1970s by the passage of federal legislation requiring that archaeological sites on public land be protected from destruction by development projects such as highways, reservoirs, and power line construction.
Archaeology's greatest challenge at the end of the twentieth century has not changed since the 1930s when an alarmed Elmer Smith drew attention to the incessant looting of archaeological sites around the state.

 The SOAP: The San Diego State University Occasional Archaeology Papers
Willey noted that, “Archaeology began being taught in universities, and the alliance between archaeology and general anthropology began academically and in the field” (Willey 1974:42).
The old relationship between archaeology and ethnology led “to the use of ethnographic analogies in interpretations of use and functions in prehistoric cultures” (Willey 1974:88).
This “Explanatory Period” of archaeology grew from young archaeologists trained by both social anthropologists and by archaeologists with the main concern of “elucidation of cultural process” (Willey 1974:178).

 A historical review of Industrial Tullamore, published in 1915 - Offaly history, Archaeology, Offaly Towns, Heritage, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The article reproduced here was published anonymously in 1915 in the Offaly Independant but is possibly by R.S. Craig, son of a former rector Revd.
The 1915 history published in the Offaly Independent (30.10.1915) is of interest for the recollections of the writer and those he mentions including Tom Pretty of Henry St., who recalled Pentland's distilling working at Market Square in the 1830s and early 1840s.
Reference is made to the present Oisin O'Sullivan's furniture store as 'entirely in ferro-concrete' and unique in Ireland at the time; to the distillery; the burning of the tobacco factory in 1884; the building of Egan's Bridge House and Scally's now Gleeson's Mall.

 Table of Contents and Excerpt, Evans, Romancing the Maya
At Chicago the installment of life-size Maya temples, cast in plaster, evoked a sense of virtual reality for fairgoers; arranged in a Stonehenge-like configuration, these structures were landscaped with clinging vegetation and were artificially aged to simulate their decay, re-creating the romantic settings of Catherwood's engravings.
This bracketing does not imply, however, that no important discoveries preceded Latin American independence or that nineteenth-century explorers in the region were the first to link archaeology and national mythmaking (the Aztecs themselves had transported Toltec artifacts to their capital as evidence of their mythologized descent from this group).
Although this is true, it is important to note the disappearance of the amateur American archaeologist from this period forward; by 1915 at the latest, figures like Stephens, Charnay, or Le Plongeon had been replaced in the field by professional archaeologists working for institutions like the Smithsonian or university-affiliated museums.

Martyn Jope had three overlapping careers in archaeology, as a medievalist, in the Iron Age, and as a campaigner for the deployment of laboratory disciplines in the subject.
His first achievements were as a medievalist, for he was one of two or three scholars who established the study of the period after 1066 as a core part of archaeology, with pioneering urban and rural excavations and a whole series of regional studies of pottery in the 1950s.
The archaeology of all periods in Ireland, and Ulster in particular, was changed totally by his standards, methods and breadth of vision.

Earthlodges located on uplands have historically received the most attention, since their locations were often marked by shallow depressions and were therefore easily located by researchers and local residents (e.g.

Considering that the California counties also exhibited at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, as also did 28 states and territories of the United States and 22 foreign nations, the exhibit aspects of San Diego's Exposition were not sensational.
This obstinacy led Miss Alice Klauber to form the San Diego County Women's Association and to notify the Board that if provision were not made for women during 1915, the Association would advertise the fact in every women's club in the United States.

 Am. Archaeology
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.
However, in 1960 L. Binford proposed a "New Archaeology" that delved into general laws and cognition that has emerged into what was called processual archaeology; changing to specific cases of the process of cultural change and explanation derived from ecological and cultural factors.
