	Archaeology Encyclopedia
		Archaeology, archeology, or archæology (from the Greek words αρχαίος = ancient and λόγος = word/speech/discourse) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains and environmental data, including architecture, artefacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
		The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, understand culture history, chronicle cultural evolution, and study human behavior and ecology, for both prehistoric and historic societies.
		Traditional archaeology is viewed as the study of pre-historical human cultures, that is, cultures that existed before the development of writing for that culture.

		The view of archaeology as being a detached, objective science of the past is slowly giving way to a broader perspective, driven in part by the need to make archaeology more relevant to a broader non-professional audience.
		Similarly archaeology is conceived of as a science for studying buried artifactual remains and constructing a fairly objective view of past cultures and events.
		Archaeology supplies means for understanding many of the biblical situations(;) it adds the dimension of reality to pictures that otherwise would be strange and somewhat unreal, and therefore it provides an element of credibility.

	Near Eastern archaeology - Definition, explanation
		Near Eastern Archaeology (sometimes known as Middle Eastern archaeology) is a regional branch of the wider, global discipline of Archaeology.
		The description "Near Eastern" for this branch of archaeology is, of course, highly Eurocentric and Americocentric, reflecting the origins and growth of the field in Western academic traditions.
		Near Eastern Archaeology is a term with a wide, often generalised application, and is frequently divided into further regional sub-branches, the archaeology of modern states in the region or along broad thematic lines.

	Archaeology and Its Public: A Voegelinian Perspective
		This view is so commonplace that it is often taken for granted that the past is no more than a phenomenon to be studied and reduced to data, the ne plus ultra of the information age.
		This is exemplified by our preservation of and visitation at historic sites where we relive the past (Elliott 1994) and by battle reenactors who "seek imaginative entry into the heroic past" (Linenthal 1991:5).
		Indeed, I suspect that this is primarily why children grow up to be professional archaeologists, the only difference being that along the way they are enculturated into the belief that they are detached spectators who thrive on data collection.
