  Historical Archaeology
This course will similarly explore the role that historical archaeology can play in making visible those people poorly represented in the documentary record of the past, such as enslaved African Americans and Native Americans, and it will help us to appreciate their significant roles in shaping the history of the New World.
Internet resources on historical archaeology, which are suggested only and not required reading for this course, are available at: http://www.anthro.uiuc.edu/faculty/cfennell/bookmark2.html.

  SAA Bulletin 14(1): Exchanges--Archaeology in the Guianas   (Site not responding. Last check: )
While archaeology could be easily grafted onto pre-existing European-based cultural infrastructures such as museums, universities, and specialized libraries, after World War II it was a pioneer undertaking in the Colonial Guianas.

Although the cry for a local archaeology had been made in Guyana as early as 1945 by the (British) curator of the national museum, in 1960 the (Dutch) curator of Suriname's national museum was still lamenting the exclusive conduct of Suriname archaeology by Dutch nationals.

  Archaeology, Industrial
Industrial archaeology originated in Great Britain, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, in the late 1950s as a response to the alarming rate at which the nation's industrial and engineering heritage was being destroyed, and as a celebration of the lives and works of industrialists, engineers and inventors of the early industrial period.
Provincial societies are the Ontario Society for Industrial Archaeology (1981) and Association Québecoise pour le patrimoine industriel (1988).
In Europe, where there is interest in teaching industrial archaeology, the field attracts mostly academic historians of technology or architecture; in N America work is carried on mainly by museum and HISTORIC SITES personnel, or historic preservationists, including historians, curators, architects, archaeologists, planners, photographers and teachers.

Skeletal material from Great Hale, found in 1981 immediately north of the Methodist Chapel, was recently radiocarbon dated(1)' The burials did not belong to the Methodist Chapel, which had no cemetery, and it was initially concluded that 'the significance of these inhumations remains a mystery(2).

Study sites in southern Britain are invaluable for understanding the arrival, expansion and contraction of many plant species and the arrival of humans since the beginning of the Holocene, as this area is in close proximity to continental Europe where many of the glacial refugia existed.
Additional factors such as intensive agriculture, urbanisation and an absence of recent glaciations (Barber, 1981) means that few study areas provide multiple sites with long palynological records.
