  Department of Archaeology Annual Report 1998
The aim in 1998 was to extend both of the 1997 trenches in an attempt to acquire the following: data for environmental and economic reconstruction; a larger sample of material culture; additional materials for dating; and sediment samples for micro-stratigraphic analysis.
In 1998 the project aimed to complete the geomorphological survey in Wadi Ghuwayr and identify the critical sediments requiring dating by TL, which is proposed as an element of the 1999 fieldseason.
Throughout 1998, the work of the STUA continued to revolve round the Scottish Crannog Centre (SCC) and the crannog reconstruction in Loch Tay, although plans are now afoot to recommence excavations at Oakbank Crannog and a preliminary assessment survey will be carried out in the summer of 1999 to that end.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1998.11.13
The New Archaeology, with its view of archaeology as a science and its emphasis on law-like generalities, held little appeal for many classical archaeologists, with their close ties to philology, ancient history, and the history of art.
Classical archaeology is characterized as a conservative field dominated by powerful institutions and resistant to change, but a field in which dissident voices have sometimes managed to be heard (Schliemann is cited as an example).
Chapters 5 and 6 move beyond Greek archaeology as it is to Greek archaeology as it might be, informed by the practice and philosophy of postprocessualism.

 The Central Archaeology Service
In November 1998 we organised ‘Conservation Future Challenges’, a brainstorming meeting for twelve conservation leaders and innovators at West Dean College.
The proceedings of this meeting were published in 1999, and the main outcome was a series of recommendations for conservators on how to place conservation centre-stage and avoid its being relegated to a peripheral (and powerless) position in the museum world.
During 1998 we set up environmental monitoring equipment at Lichfield Cathedral to investigate whether condensation was occurring on the important seventeenth century Flemish stained glass in the Lady Chapel and causing the fl paint to flake off.

 SAA Bulletin 16(5): Jean Carl Harrington, 1901-1998
Born in Millbrook, Michigan, on October 25, 1901, the son of teachers, Harrington received a B.S. degree in architecture from the University of Michigan in 1924.
With her strong background in history and archaeology, Virginia became an essential member of the Harrington team--as an active collaborator or as an equally valuable behind-the-scenes consultant.
Harrington's significant contributions to historical archaeology are legion.

With the archaeological value of shipwrecks so well established, it is puzzling that their study is not yet a routine part of the preparation for a career in archaeology.
They wait for marine archaeology to become as common as archaeology on land, for it is not only in advanced technology that the future of underwater archaeology rests.
The future rests in the recognition of nautical archaeology as an academic discipline and its full appreciation as an integral part of archaeology.

The conventional interpretation of the archaeology and history of the areas which were in British hands during the 5th and 6th centuries has it that political control rapidly devolved to local warlords, and a `Celtic' society soon emerged.
Nonetheless, archaeology can provide insights into some common popular responses to the Reformation, not only in the 1530s and 40s, but over the longer period from the middle years of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th.

 Environmental Archaeology Unit Research Forum 1998
The marriage of archaeological science and ‘conventional archaeology’ has, and continues to be, uneasy, at best and irreconcilable at worst.
There is no doubt still a problem of the perceived value of environmental archaeology, in particular, within archaeology, which in turn results in much of its interpretative potential remaining unfulfilled.
All too often this is a direct result of the ‘compartmentalisation’ of the various disciplines and the lack of real integration of common research aims and results.
