	Experimental archaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
		According to John Coles, experimental archaeology has four different levels: replication of artifacts’ shapes, replication of artefacts’ manufacturing processes, studying the function of artefacts, and the contextual level (Coles 1979: 36-43).
		Experimental archaeology is a research method, which requires a clear starting point (a research question), objective criticism, knowledge of archaeological source materials, knowledge of tradition or technology, and finally, publication and application in the scientific field.
		Lighter, carefree experiments could be included under the terms ’experimenting’ or ’experiential’ archaeology, which both emphasize the unscientific and popular nature of experiments and their results.

	Archaeology in the American University
		Landscape archaeology, briefly stated, is the study of human societies in their environmental settings over time, including the ways in which humans responded and adapted to changes in the landscape and natural environment (changes which first must be identified), and the impact of humans on the land and environment.
		Another component of modern landscape archaeology on a regional scale is the study of settlement patterns, with their political and economic implications, which was introduced (also in the late 1940s) in the Virú Valley of Peru by Gordon Willey, who later became Bowditch Professor of Central American and Mexican Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University.
		Archaeology is seen by some merely as a subfield of another discipline, especially classics or anthropology, and sometimes not a particularly respected endeavor.

	Shanks - Culture/archaeology
		Archaeology provided material evidence of folk roots of the new state polities, while also attaching the imperial states to the cultural peaks of history measured by artistic values and encapsulated in objects acquired, often from abroad, for the museums.
		Moreover archaeology provided an extraordinary immediacy apparently accessible without academic training – finds which could be displayed to speak for themselves in the new museums, the cultural treasure houses of imperial power, repositories of ancestral remains.
		Archaeology’s focus on obdurate remains suggests the possibility of a material resistance to the ideologies of a homogeneous world uniform in its accommodation to the commodity form and principles of the global market.

	Council of Virginia Archaeologists - The Archaeology of 18th century volume
		Those who have read the earlier volume on archaeology of 17th-century sites in Virginia will find that the contributors to this collection of articles adhere far more closely to the stated aims of the COVA symposia than did those who contributed to the earlier group of papers (though certain authors appear in both).
		As a result, the present volume is invaluable both as a summary of work to date and as an assessment of the current "state of the art" for archaeological studies of 18th-century Virginia.
		John Broadwater’s survey of the maritime archaeology of 18th-century Virginia is a superb and truly important contribution to the literature not just of Virginia historical archaeology but to the field as a whole.

	Acts And Archaeology
		On the other hand, if Acts is historically reliable, and thus probably having been written within the perimeters of the orthodox view, sometime in the latter part of the first century, the archaeological evidence should support this thesis.
		In other words, although the book of Acts is not primarily concerned with history qua history, or in and of itself, it is nonetheless accurate when it comments upon historical events or issues that lay within its purview.
		This is especially true in our case when the text of Acts has been variously assumed to have erred, but has proven time and time again that it was not in err, but in fact, possessed correct and extremely precise data.

	Mediterranean Archaeology
		They will also learn that archaeology is very much an interdisciplinary enterprise, involving its practitioners not just in academia but in contemporary society, which in turn affects our views and interpretations, as well as the questions we ask of the past.
		Within Mediterranean archaeology, since 1992 he has been involved in a field project (with Dr Albert Ammerman, Colgate University) to investigate the palaeoenvironment of the northern lagoon of Venice, associated with the establishment of the city in the mid-1st millennium AD.
		He lectured in Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology at Berkeley (1979-84), and held research appointments at the University of Sydney (1984-87), the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (1988) and the University of Cambridge (1989-91).

	AASP Primary Records Geoffrey William Dimbleby
		With hindsight, it is easy to regard Dimbleby's move to the Institute of Archaeology in 1964 as a natural progression, but in the context of British archaeology at that time it was a novel step.
		Pioneering work in environmental archaeology had already been carried out at the Institute by Professor F.E. Zeuner, and it was his death in 1964 that led to the creation of the newly named Chair of Human Environment to which Dimbleby was appointed.

	North Carolina Office of State Archaeology
		Evidence of caches of quarry tools is also present, indicating that the quarry workers brought tools up to the site and stored them for future use.
		Test excavations were conducted at the site in 1979 by Archaeology Branch [now the Office of State Archaeology] staff and a report on the tests was published in the North Carolina Archaeological Council Publications Series [No. 19] in 1982.
		Since then, however, relic collectors have paid many visits to the site, and have destroyed much of the evidence of this unique and important type of archaeological resource.

	Tong, Enzheng (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-31)
		The article is primarily a critique of the Chinese archaeologist Xia Nai's view of the thirty years of archaeology work in China from 1949-1979, namely during the Maoist period.
		He harshly criticizes the pre-formulated conclusions brought to bear upon the fields of archaeology and history (e.g., assuming a linear progress through stages of civilization).
		Archaeology in China was born in the wake of the May Fourth Movement and its anti-foreign, pro-China fervor.

	Archaeology
		The field of experimental archaeology can generally be divided into four categories: controlled replication of recovered artifacts or known activities; testing the validity of methodological assumptions by applying them to known data or results; "contextual"; and ethnographic data.
		This process is one of the most widely used forms of experimental archaeology.
		This area of experimental archaeology deals with the way in which a site is formed and how it deteriorates over time.

		However, as archaeology primarily focuses on spatial relationships between artifacts to determine cultural significance, modern GIS technology is a perfect fit with the archaeological discipline.
		The editors of this volume even go as far as to explicitly state in their opening article that “anybody working within archaeology would have to have been asleep for the past ten years not to have encountered Geographic Information systems and their advocates” (2).
		The editors of this collection warn that as a printed volume, their compilation can only serve as a snapshot of the research and topics that are currently in the spotlight in the archaeological discipline.

	UNE - Archaeology - Ethnography of Rock Art
		Until recently, such concerns were not well voiced in studies concerned with the archaeology of the art of small-scale societies, and a working knowledge of the role of art in ethnographic contexts has not been seen as an essential prerequisite for the interpretation of archaeological art.
		Such distinctions do not take into account sufficiently the extensive literature dealing with the relationship between ethnography and archaeology, as well as the more general literature on the philosophy of science (see Davidson 1988).
		Although rock art studies have a unique data base, they are concerned with material evidence for past human behaviour and can be undertaken using the same basic methods of analysis.

	Apologetics Press - Dating in Archaeology: Challenges to Biblical Credibility
		Archaeology, therefore, presents a challenge to those who contend for the integrity of the Scriptures.
		Finally, archaeology is an imprecise science, and should not serve as the judge of biblical historicity.
		William Dever, for example, observed that although archaeology as a historical discipline can answer many questions, it is incapable of determining “why” something occurred (1990, 16[3]:57).

		For instance, in the Australian sequence, the continent-wide and relatively homogeneous Panaramitee rock engraving tradition was replaced by many distinct and localised rock art systems (Maynard 1979).
		More recently Sauvet and Sauvet (1979) have interpreted non-random patterns of association in European Palaeolithic rock art in terms of it's 'grammar and syntax'.
