 Legal principles protecting underwater heritage
Archaeology is concerned with environmental conservation; in the language of resource management, underwater cultural heritage is both finite and non-renewable.
Archaeology is a public activity; everybody is entitled to draw upon the past in informing their own lives, and every effort to curtail knowledge of the past is an infringement of personal autonomy.
Archaeology is driven by research, it adds to knowledge of the diversity of human culture through the ages and it provides new and challenging ideas about life in the past.

His role in 20th century archaeology was that of a prudent and distinctive new thinker, and his ideas of environmentally affected cultural development and evolution have been of great value and use to the archeological community.
He called it the theory of cultural ecology and it gave archaeology a feasible explanation for long-term developments in a society.
Ecological approaches to archaeology dominated from the 1950's to the 80's, although much of the theory had become more ecological than cultural, as Steward emphasized.

 Christology as Law in John 5:17-23: - Page 1
In archaeology artifacts which represent a particular habit of use and reuse are associated with a social practice; a text which is normative within an institution performs the same role.
Such a text within the life of an institution is not inert, a trace of another time stored away in a library.

 Archaeology and the Architectural Practice
The city is not alone in this; the early 1970s saw the beginning of a great boom in field archaeology, particularly in towns, where pressure to develop is rarely absent for long.
In the beginning the DoE saw to it that such organisations flourished on the basis of rescue archaeology: whole cities were seeen as threatened, and entire archaeological units were set up to excavate them.
Suggestions were made that archaeology could form an additional charge on developers (rather than taxpayers) and this system (which in one form or another had always existed anyway) was eventually cemented into place by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act of 1979.

In the 1960s, with increased public interest in underwater archaeology, the National Park Service began a program to investigate and protect significant shipwrecks and other submerged resources in the national park system.

The Southeast Archaeological Center (SEAC) was originally chosen to initiate the program due to its proximity to coastal parks and because of its established partnership with Florida State University's underwater archaeology program.
