  Category:Archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archaeology or archæology or sometimes in American English archeology (from the Greek words αρχαίος = ancient and λόγος = word/speech/discourse) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of cultural and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, culture history, cultural evolution, and human behaviour and ecology.
It is the only discipline that possesses the method and theory for the collection and interpretation of information about the pre-written human past, and can also make a critical contribution to our understanding of documented societies.

 Annotated Bibliographies for Archeology of Crown Point, NY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Excavations behind the soldiers' barracks have revealed evidence of a material culture that was not only more complex than might be expected for soldiers stationed at a wilderness fort but was of a quality that previously had been assumed to be associated with officers.
An Archaeology Day was held for the general public on a Sunday afternoon, attended by more than 300 people.
When the State acquired Crown Point in 1910, the donor of the property required the ruins to be protected "from spoliation" and preserved in their present condition "for all time." Recent excavations in the barracks have since enabled a comparison of the architectural dimensions of military status.
