 The Archaeology of Ethnicity in America: Why Do Historical Archaeology?
Archaeology is the study of past people through their material remains: tools, dishes, food remains, buildings, burials, etc. Historical archaeology is the study of past people through their material remains when written texts for that period are also available.
The idea behind this early form of historic archaeology was to mask social conflict in the past and to mute social critique in the present.
For example, according to Deetz (1977:5), "historical archaeology is the archaeology of the spread of European cultures throughout the world since the fifteenth century and their impact on and interaction with the cultures of indigenous peoples." This worldwide expansion was one aspect of the growth of capitalism.

 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).

 History of Polynesian Archaeology
The greatest impetus to Polynesian archaeology, however, occurred in 1920 when geologist Herbert E. Gregory acceded to the directorship of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, convened the first international Pan-Pacific Science Conference, and proclaimed the study of Polynesian archaeology and anthropology should be a major research priority (Kirch 2000:20-24).
The rejuvenation of stratigraphic archaeology in Polynesia, and its expansion beyond Polynesia into the western Pacific, was initially driven by a strong culture-historical orientation, encouraged by rapid success in defining considerable time depth and sequences of material culture change (whether in ceramic styles, or in fishhooks and stone adzes).
As Green summarized the perspective of settlement pattern archaeology, with “...increasing concern with delineating the social aspect of the data recovered from sites..., the day has passed when such monuments or their structural features can afford to be treated only as contexts for portable artifacts and not as artifacts in their own right” (Green 1967:102).

 foucarch
Archaeology is 'a description that questions the already-said at the level of its existence: of the enunciative function, of the discursive formation, and the general archive system to which it belongs.
Archaeology describes discourses as practices specified in the elements of the archive' (131).
Archaeology is not about specific disciplines as such, but about positivities, and discursive formations are not the same as established disciplines either.
