	Review: Archaeology in the Third world
		He admits that both the concepts of 'the archaeology of the past' and also research were imports from the colonial masters.
		Emphasizing the common denominators of Third World Archaeology with the help of colonial background he tells us that the Third World Archaeology in the colonial context was a small government-run affair, which hardly played any role in its educational system or in nationalist movements.
		He compares the Third World Archaeology to the First World Archaeology in the field of reconstruction of archaeological cultural history with emphasis on survey and excavation, oriented towards the establishment of stratigraphy, typology, distribution and dating.

	ROSWELL: 1947
		Late in the night of July 4, 1947 a mysterious object of an unknown nature and unknown origin came in out of the north-northwest sky over the desert flatlands of New Mexico traveling at an incredible high rate of speed.
		In it Corso writes that on the afternoon of Sunday, July 6, 1947, two days after the crash of the mysterious craft outside Roswell, five two-and-a-half-ton trucks and side-by-side low-boy trailers arrived at the base loaded with huge wooden crates, some covered by tarps.
		Both the debris field found by the rancher and the impact site stumbled across by the archaeologist and his students are completely reworked and cleaned up so no sign of a military presence or downed craft remain.

		But they acknowledge that what she has uncovered is rare and important: a major public building from around the 10th century B.C., with pottery shards that date to the time of David and Solomon and a government seal of an official mentioned in the book of Jeremiah.
		The discovery is likely to be a new salvo in a major dispute in biblical archaeology: whether the kingdom of David was of some historical magnitude, or whether the kings were more like small tribal chieftains, reigning over another dusty hilltop.

		A volume honoring Jim Sauer, who is a connoisseur of virtually every period of Near Eastern archaeology, is an appropriate place to gather together the known episodes in order to gain a preliminary picture of pre-modern archaeological discoveries that bear upon the Bible and postbiblical Judaism.
		The practice of rebuilding temples, palaces, and entire cities on previously occupied sites required the razing and excavating of those sites in preparation for the new construction, and this often led to the discovery of manuscripts, inscriptions, and other ancient artifacts.
		Modern archaeology, we like to think, is not only methodologically superior, but also systematic and intentional.

	Archaeology at Fort Vancouver, 1947-2001
		While history has recorded the important events and people who visited, worked, and lived at the fort, it is the discarded fragments of tools, the food bones, and the architectural remains that are, quite literally, the foundation on which the park was built.
		It is because of archaeology that the reconstruction of the structures and their furnishings are so accurate and detailed.

		When in the summer of 1947 a young Bedouin shepherd, Muhammad Adh Dhib, lost a goat in the wilderness between Bethlehem and the Dead Sea, he couldn't have imagined that he would end up making one of the greatest discoveries in biblical archaeology this century.
		In a cave in the vicinity of Khirbet Qumran, he stumbled upon seven ancient scrolls, among them manuscripts of the Book of Isaiah about a thousand years older than any previously known Old Testament text.
		It should be pointed out that although written evidence is often discovered during an archaeological investigation, it does not - strictly speaking - constitute the subject matter of archaeology proper, which concerns itself with the material remains of the past in order to fill in details that are missing from recorded history.
