		Archaeology is the study of the past by finding the remains left behind by people who lived in the past.
		Until the mid-20th century and the introduction of technology, there was a general consensus that archaeology was closely related to both history and anthropology.
		It was “proof” that archaeology could be done scientifically and objectively and that information about past lifeways could be discovered, and that the pitfalls that seemed so overwhelming could, perhaps, be sidestepped as long as archaeologists were rigorous enough.

	SCAPE - 2004 SCAPE Paleoenvironmental Field Work
		Because of ongoing bank erosion, almost all of this previous excavation area had been washed away by 2004: however, portions of three previously excavated units were relocated and excavated to a greater depth, while excavations were undertaken at an additional five m2.
		Therefore, this lower occupation can be expected to date to about 6,000 B.P. The 2004 excavations proved to be on the fringe of the upper occupation habitation area, and only a few potsherds and pieces of debitage were recovered.
		The primary objective of the 2004 field season was to increase the depth of the pit by concentrating our efforts on the deepest part of the main excavation.
