Topic: 1946 in archaeology

	Archaeology
		Archaeology is a historical science aimed at the discovery and understanding of past human behaviour through the study of material remains.
		As a result, archaeology is able to investigate not only the recent past and subjects to some degree already documented, but also epochs beyond the reach of memory and before the spread of writing.
		In the West, undergraduate and MA archaeology programs were established at the universities of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and to the PhD level at the universities of Alberta and British Columbia.

	Symmetrical Archaeology: Destruction and the rhetoric of excavation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Now I would not wish to lessen the significance of the rhetoric of destruction in the heyday of rescue archaeology - it certainly had an impact and a positive one at that; however, it is questionable whether we should still be using this rhetoric, in fact ask whether it may not be detrimental.
		Until the emergence of an explicit theoretical discourse in archaeology in the latter part of the twentieth century, the predominant image of the archaeological process was one in which knowledge was acquired through discovery.
		If archaeology creates a past, and development is creating a future, both are still working in the present and together they could constitute the historical process in potentially one of the most reflexive ways possible.

	Methodology
		Recent developments in image processing and graphic representation have contributed substantially to the archaeologist’s ability to do "rescue archaeology," that is, to carry out high-speed, nondestructive reconnaissance surveys for ancient human cultural evidence in advance of modern industrial development.
		The latter technologies are included along with prospection methods in the broader term "archaeophysics." A survey of the broader field of physics applied to archaeology is available in excellent summaries by Aitken (1974), and Wolfman (1984).
		Within the general area of physics used in archaeology, a distinction can be made between prospection and nonprospection methods.

	A Review of Geophysical Methods Used in Archaeology
		Geophysical methods have been used with increasing frequency in archaeology since 1946; aerial photography has been used since 1919.
		Resistivity methods were extensively used for archaeology in England (Aitken, 1974; Clark, 1986) and in Italy (Carabelli, 1967; Linington, 1970a).
		Geophysical methods used in archaeology are not an unqualified panacea for the archaeologist.

	British Archaeology, no 20, December 1996: Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Born in Hampshire in 1946, the son of a civil service metallurgist with the navy, Richard Bradley went to a local grammar school - where he first came across archaeology - before reading law at Oxford, unaware that he could study archaeology at university.
		Married to a history teacher, but without children, his main interests outside archaeology are cultural - literature, painting and music (the more avant-garde the better) - although he claims to have `no executive talent' in any of the arts.
		I asked what drives him in archaeology, and he spoke of `finding patterns in strange material', and `mixing the practical and the abstract' - dry explanations that could equally suit him to any number of subjects.

	AP555 Paleoindian Archaeology
		Although only a limited set of archaeological materials will be examined in detail (i.e., Paleoindian), we will spend a good deal of time working with issues of archaeological method and theory that are applicable to a much wider range of temporal and geographic areas.
		The paper will be based on reading an assigned monograph on some aspect of Paleoindian archaeology and writing a report that integrates the specifics of the book into the more general topics and themes discussed in the class and assigned readings.
		Discussion of the most recent approaches to Paleoindian archaeology will be based on recently published materials (hot topics) that will be assigned late in the semester (Contemporary Perspectives) and I can be persuaded to focus the readings on topics of greatest interest to the class.

		It is with the deepest sorrow that the Department of Archaeology announces the sudden death of Professor Andrew Sherratt on Friday 24 February.
		Born in 1946, Andrew´s first archaeological publication, in the Transactions of the Thoroton Society on an 18th-century Nottinghamshire antiquary, reflects not only his early life in the region, but also a life-long interest in the history of archaeology.
		He went to Cambridge in 1965, completing a BA in Archaeology and Anthropology there in 1968 and a Ph.D. in 1976 on `The Beginning of the Bronze Age in south-east Europe´.

	Jeremy Hight: Narrative Archaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The city exists to navigate and “read” on a literal level of interpretation of architecture, shifts, movement, traces of past and the patterns that form as one walks through the city.
		The author utilizing the concepts and form of narrative archaeology can form a reading of the second city (the connotative city or semiotically charged) with points in street layout pinpointed to address the resonance of multiple readings and resonances of buildings, street signs, navigation, infrastructure.
		The author, however in the new writing of narrative archaeology is working within the city, its streets, layers of cultural resonance and population, and, of course, buildings....many of which may remain unchanged over time.

		In late 1946 or early 1947, a Bedouin shepherd called Jum'a Muhammed stumbled on something extraordinary while scrambling among the rocky cliffs that rise just behind a terrace of land on which stand a group of ancient ruins, known as Khirbet Qumran, by the shores of the Dead Sea.

		As one of the more senior among the co-workers of Professor Maria Floriani Squarciapino in her university activity, the sad task, but also the honor, has fallen to me to commemorate her on behalf of the Pontifical Roman Academy of Archaeology, of which she was an illustrious member for a long time.
