	ARCHAEOLOGICAL PALYNOLOGY
		Archaeological Palynology is a branch of Archaeobotany - applying botanical and paleo-botanical techniques to archaeological investigations.
		This branch of archaeological palynology focuses on the influence of vegetation and climate change on human behavior and demographic patterns in addition to the effect of humans on the environment.
		Archaeological mitigation of large construction projects often includes environmental reconstruction as a background for the chronology for human occupation of the area.

	ICOMOS Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage
		Other elements of the archaeological heritage constitute part of the living traditions of indigenous peoples, and for such sites and monuments the participation of local cultural groups is essential for their protection and preservation.
		The archaeological heritage is common to all human society and it should therefore be the duty of every country to ensure that adequate funds are available for its protection.
		The overall objective of archaeological heritage management should be the preservation of monuments and sites in situ, including proper long-term conservation and curation of all related records and collections etc. Any transfer of elements of the heritage to new locations represents a violation of the principle of preserving the heritage in its original context.

	SAA Bulletin 14(3): Principles of Archaeological Ethics
		Responsible archaeological research, including all levels of professional activity, requires an acknowledgment of public accountability and a commitment to make every reasonable effort, in good faith, to consult actively with affected group(s), with the goal of establishing a working relationship that can be beneficial to all parties involved.
		The commercialization of archaeological objects--their use as commodities to be exploited for personal enjoyment or profit--results in the destruction of archaeological sites and of contextual information that is essential to understanding the archaeological record.
		Given the destructive nature of most archaeological investigations, archaeologists must ensure that they have adequate training, experience, facilities, and other support necessary to conduct any program of research they initiate in a manner consistent with the foregoing principles and contemporary standards of professional practice.

	Albuquerque's Environmental Story - Archaeological Resources
		Archaeological sites are nonrenewable resources; they provide the only available source of information on the people and civilizations that flourished in the middle Rio Grande Valley long ago.
		Archaeological sites provide information that augments the area's sketchy, 400-year-old, written historic record; acts as a foundation for interpretive museum exhibits and educational program;, and provides a potential focus for recreational and tourist-related activities.
		But the strongest impact on archaeological resources occurs at the local level with planning and land-use decisions; this is also where public and private preservation efforts reap the greatest benefits.

	Interactive Dig Hierakonpolis: Archaeological Hair
		The common misconception that all hair turns red over archaeological timescales has found its way into archaeological folklore.
		Whilst certain environments such as those producing bog bodies are known to yield hair of a red-brown color, in part because of the breakdown of organic matter and presence of humic acids which impart a brown color to recovered remains, it has commonly been assumed that this happens to all archaeological hair.
		Whether the conditions within the wood and plaster coffin contributed to accelerated color change, or whether this individual naturally had more phaeomelanin pigmentation in his hair is hard to say without further analysis.
