Experimental archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Experimental archaeology employs a number of different methods, techniques, analyses, and approaches in order to generate and test hypotheses or an interpretation, based upon archaeological source material, like ancient structures or artifacts. It should not be confused with primitive technology which is not concerned with any archaeological or historical evidence, living history or historical reenactment, which is generally undertaken as a hobby, for entertainment or to demonstrate a romantic atmosphere of a specific (pre)historic era. Other types of experimental archaeology may involve burying modern replica artefacts and ecofacts for varying lengths of time to analyse the post-depositional effects on them. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Reconstruction_archaeology   (715 words)

Archaeology Insitute, Tel-Aviv University   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) City life is of interest to such widely divergent research fields as sociology (Weber 1958; Sjoberg 1960); anthropology (Fox 1977); geography (Carter 1983); architecture (Rapoport 1982); history (Mumford 1961; Hammond 1972; Bairoch 1988); art history (Frankfort 1954); bible (Frick 1977) and archaeology (Childe 1950; Adams 1966; Fritz 1990a). A review of the different approaches that challenge these basic problems of urbanism is of crucial importance for establishing the theoretical foundations for the archaeology of the city. One cannot try to explain the social significance of a specific type of urban community without bearing in mind the general concepts that dominate our understanding of the role of the city in society.Any attempt to provide a comprehensive and agreed upon definition of a city is soon confronted with serious obstacles. www.tau.ac.il /humanities/archaeology/press/monograph13.html   (1009 words)
