  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).

 Archaeology Poland
The most well known site in Polish archaeology is the fortified Bronze and early Iron Age settlement built between 750 and 400 BC near Biskupin, in the north-west of Poland.
Much of the archaeology was found to be in an excellent state of preservation, due to the site's location in water-logged wetland beside a lake.
Living archaeology events for both archaeology enthusiasts and professionals are staged annually in May and June, with the main event taking place during the third week of September.

 Archaeology [encyclopedia]
Archaeology is the science of unearthing sites containing remains of ancient habitation, with the goal of learning about culture, society, ecology, intellectual life and beliefs; modern archaeology employs the tools of history, anthropology, geology, and biology to recover the hidden past.
Archaeology studies ancient peoples and cultures by analyzing their artifacts, inscriptions, monuments, and other remains.
Begun in Europe during the Renaissance, archaeology was used to explain chance discoveries of artifacts in biblical or classical terms.

 FREUD AND ARCHAEOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
There is something smugly triumphant in Freud's [1930] assertion of psychoanalysis's advantage over archaeology, as though at last he had reached a long sought-for  goal - his science finally besting the science with which it was most competitive (at least as much as with medicine)  (Kuspit 1989:  136-9).
A quite elaborate metaphor comparing the preservation of memories in the unconscious with the survival of the past structures of ancient Rome may be found in  Civilization and its Discontents (Freud 1930, PFL 12:256-8).
Freud's aim initially was to draw attention to similarities between the mental lives of "savages" and neurotics; in the end, he attempted to determine some reasons for neurosis by using evidence culled from ethnography to erect a prehistory of the mind and a single prehistoric event of psychological significance.

 Archaeology
The (Minnesota) state Antiquities Act of 1939 prohibits archaeological activity on lands without a permit from the state.
The Field Archaeology Act also required that permits be issued by the Minnesota Historical Society for any archaeological activity on "a land or water area, owned by or subject to the paramount rights of the state." This clause also impacts underwater archaeology in Minnesota.
This act reshaped Minnesota Archaeology, creating a need for funding the state archaeologist beyond appropriations to the University of Minnesota.

 Our First Issues
The first issues of ARCHAEOLOGY, which was born scarcely three years after the defeat of the Axis powers, are filled with evocative articles that convey not only the nature of archaeology a half-century ago but also how archaeologists assessed their wartime experiences, commemorated their fallen colleagues, and regrouped and resumed work.
ARCHAEOLOGY has one fixed policy: any policy which will not bear the light of day will go into the ashcan, and the editor has long since lost his capacity for embarassment or dismay, so pitch into it.
It is with mixed emotions and genuine astonishment that some of the readers of Archaeology have perused a book review, disguised as an Editorial and given undue prominence in a recent issue of this excellent periodical.

 AREA - archives of european archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In addition to its public roles, the museum aimed to be a centre for research and the organisation of excavations, and in the 19th century it contributed decisively to the development of prehistoric archaeology.
The aim of this project, a continuation of the thematic research already undertaken, is to find documentary support for a reinvestigation of the early history of archaeology in Sweden in relation to the archaeologies of other Scandinavian countries, in order to understand the cementing of a Nordic identity.
Through these archives, and different moments in time they represent, it should be possible to identify various constructions of archaeology with different goals, different agents and publics, all of which we have to understand in our appreciation of what created archaeology and how it came to take the form it did.

 British Archaeology, no 8, October 1995: Obituary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Professor Sir Grahame Clark was a colossus of 20th century archaeology, and the last survivor of the founding fathers of the CBA.
In Archaeology and Society (1939), long to be a standard textbook for archaeology students, he stressed the need to interpret archaeological material in terms of the once-living societies that produced it.
His own seminal contribution to the internationalisation of archaeology was the disarmingly simple World Prehistory: an outline (1961), and he documented the progress of his world-pervasive Cambridge school of thought in Prehistory at Cambridge and Beyond (1989).
