  Biography: Kathleen Kenyon - Ancient Near East .Net
In 1934 Kenyon was closely associated with the Wheelers in the foundation of the Institute of Archaeology of the University College London.
Basil Hennessy, Emeritus Professor of Near Eastern Archaeology at the University of Sydney for example, was her assistant at Samaria and elsewhere, and has helped transmit her legacy to new generations of Australian archaeologists.
The British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem, amalgamated within the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) in 1998, was officially renamed the Kenyon Institute on 10 July 2003 in honour of Kathleen Kenyon.

 Archaeology and the Old Testament
Archaeology has therefore played a key role in biblical studies and Christian apologetics in several ways.
{1} Archaeology can also help us to understand more accurately the nuances and uses of biblical words as they were used in their day.
We must not elevate archaeology to the point that it becomes the judge for the validity of Scripture.

 Center for Latin American Studies, UC Berkeley
Archaeology is the study of the past, but it is influenced by more recent histories and current political contexts.
Although Bolivia has seen a number of indigenous uprisings, it was not until the 1952 revolution and subsequent agrarian reform that significant political change was enacted.
This coincided with the appearance of several archaeology museums and institutes appearing elsewhere in the country.

 Archaeology and Its Public: A Voegelinian Perspective
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.
At the beginning of this essay it was noted that the challenge to archaeology is to effectively address a lay public.

 Behind the Mask of Agamemnon
While Schliemann's diary and newspaper and book accounts of the location and dates of his discoveries in the shaft graves are often vague and contradictory, it is clear that by the end of November he had excavated tombs containing the bodies of several Mycenaean chieftains, five of whom wore gold face masks.
Late last year ARCHAEOLOGY received a manuscript from Calder restating his claim that the mask is a forgery.
Because of its serious implications, ARCHAEOLOGY solicited responses from five experts, printing in full those of David A. Traill, author of Schliemann of Troy: Treasure and Deceit, and Katie Demakopoulou, former director of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.

 JAIC 1987, Volume 26, Number 2, Article 3 (pp. 85 to 104)
Of course, the recovery of artifacts was of primary importance in the early phases of the history of archaeology.
The development of conservation techniques in archaeology has seen as uneven an evolution as has the excavation report (Caldararo, 1984) and in many ways suffers the same vagaries in application due to lack of priority and a lack of funding.
It is certain that, since the founding of the Institute of Archaeology by Sir Mortimer Wheeler in 1937 at the University of London, scientific attitudes have greatly aided the archaeologist in site retrieval of artifacts and in laboratory procedures for their preservation.

 CSISS Classics - Gordon R. Willey: Settlement Patterns in Archaeology
Widely recognized as one of the most important American archaeologists of the second half of the twentieth century; Gordon Willey (1913-2002) was appointed in 1950 as the first scholar to hold the Charles P. Bowditch Chair at Harvard University.
His contributions to the discipline are remembered in the many prizes and symposia instituted in his honor by the American Anthropological Association, the Society for American Archaeology, and the Peabody Museum of Harvard University.
As a result of his settlement pattern studies, by the 1960s the research emphasis of many archaeologists was shifting from single sites to the study of regions and their archaeological contents.

After the war he became a university lecturer in Archaeology and in 1952 he was appointed as the Disney Professor of Archaeology and Ethnology, which post he held until 1974.
These excavations were exemplary in the manner in which all possible sciences related to archaeology were used as part of the work.
The artefacts recovered by archaeology tell us not merely how our forebears adapted to and modified their environments but how they learnt to shape their behaviour to accord with cultural values rather than merely with biological imperatives.

 Robert, Linda Braidwood, pioneers in prehistoric archaeology
Robert Braidwood also advanced the scientific study of archaeology by recruiting to his teams a number of botanists, zoologists, geologists and other specialists who provided additional insights about the communities he was studying.
Braidwood introduced the idea of the testable hypothesis to archaeology, and he was the first to use archaeological survey to investigate an entire region.
She was a Fulbright Research Fellow in Turkey from 1963 to 1964 and a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the journal Archaeology from 1952 to 1967.

Anderson, 1952) clearly telegraph his abiding interest in Maya cave use, it is in his unpublished papers and personal photographs that his fascination becomes apparent.
However, the thrust of this program was to a great extent designed to aid the DOA to locate and thus monitor archaeological cave resources that were to a growing extent at risk from the activities of looters (Figure 2).
Accurate location data, in conjunction with an inventory of utilized caves by mapping, photography, and written documentation are urgently required in the rapidly developing environment of the Belizean eco-tourism industry which, if not managed will have considerable, and possibly irreparable negative impact on this unique cultural resource.

 Northeast Sector Settlement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Because of the amount of epicentral work that had been carried out between 1989 and 1993, it was imperative that more settlement archaeology be done at Caracol to gain a better perspective of the site as a whole.
Thus, large site populations are not anomalous for the Southern lowlands, as was once believed, and their fairly common existence suggests the need to rethink lowland Maya interactions and development relative to the rest of Mesoamerica, where such single site population sizes are rare.
The peculiarities emphasized in the archaeology of Caracol may have been purposefully exploited by the site's elite to both unify Caracol society as well as to create an "us" versus "them" mentality, which wo uld have been apropos for Caracol's warfare arena.
