Guidelines on the Integration of Heritage Conservation Issues in Development Plans that the recommendations of the Urban Archaeological Survey of the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands, be followed in relation to areas of archaeological potential and the consequent developmental constraints. A sustainable approach requires that the stock of wildlife habitats and natural sites within the County should be conserved and protected for the benefit of future generations. The Council recommends that the local authority includes a general policy statement, along the following lines, that seeks to protect and conserve wildlife and semi-natural features: www.heritagecouncil.ie /publications/integration/protection.html

FLORIDA ARCHAEOLOGY Illustrated Overview Perhaps the most notable development in Florida archaeology in recent years is the dramatic growth of contract archaeology, which is the result of a host of federal, state, and local laws and ordinances designed to minimize or avoid the loss of archaeological knowledge due to construction or land development. Major regional syntheses of archaeologically distinct geographical areas in Florida had been completed or were well underway, partly the result of new fieldwork being sponsored by Yale University and partly resulting from the analysis and interpretation of the large scale excavations of the 1930s. The impact of Moore's work in Florida (and elsewhere in the Southeast) is felt to this day, as many of the intact pottery vessels and other artifacts excavated by him were later to become type specimens in more refined systems of archaeological classification. www.cgcas.org /itxt_fas.htm

Waterford News & Star: Confirmation Of Outer Ring Road CPO Expected An Bord Pleanala said Duchas’ submission related to how the proposed road would impact on Ballinadud Bog, a protected Natural Heritage Area of high underwater archaeological potential, and Kilbarry Bog, which is a proposed Natural Heritage Area. At the time, Ray McGrath, of the Irish Wildlife Trust, said the trust supported the route selected by the City Council for the second phase of the Outer Ring Road and its submission to An Bord Pleanala made a number of recommendations concerning the preservation of wildlife a long the route. The Irish Wildlife Trust and Duchas, the Heritage Service, were among those who lodged submissions in relation to the Environmental Impact Statement. www.waterford-news.ie /news/story.asp?j=8916

Shiant Isles Archaeological Survey The visibility of archaeological surface features is therefore limited to some degree because of the rough broken topography, but this is somewhat countered by the general lack of trees or large shrubs and the low grass height maintained by grazing sheep. The general survey methodology is to walk virtually every square metre, with constant reference to the natural features marked on the map, which are usually quite accurate since they are plotted from aerial photographs, so that ones exact position is always known. He in turn commissioned the present author, on the basis of the SEARCH project results, to undertake a general archaeological survey and to implement a series of investigative excavations on a range of the islands monuments which would be incorporated into his forthcoming publication. www.shiantisles.net /archaeology/survey.htm

assemblage 4 -- Routledge Readers in Archaeology (review) Processualist theories of social evolution driven by natural selection are uninteresting and unhelpful: 'adaptation' in social evolutionary theory is the 'cause, consequence, and outcome of change' (p. Like Tilley's (1989) article in the Reader in Archaeological Theory, this piece seems urgently relevant, though was written nearly 15 years ago. The final section of the Reader in Archaeological Theory concerns 'Archaeology and Social Responsibility'. www.shef.ac.uk /assem/4/4whitley.html

University at Buffalo Archaeological Survey The Archaeological Survey is a not-for-profit research, contracting and applied archaeology institution within the Department of Anthropology at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB). The Survey mission is to provide CRM services to a diverse range of clients in the western New York region, to train people as qualified CRM professionals and to provide practical, applied experience for graduate and undergraduate students from UB with varied interests relating to the Natural Sciences, Anthropology, Archaeology and Cultural Resource Management. A publication series entitled Reports of the Archaeological Survey (RAS) was created by Neal L. Trubowitz of the UB Anthropology Department in 1976, in the memory of Dr. White. wings.buffalo.edu /anthropology/Survey/histback.htm

Archaeology and the Historic Environment - Historic Landscape Survey Guidelines Whilst moorlands appear to be wild, natural places, their existing character is largely due to the action of historic land use, and the uplands often contain some of the best preserved archaeological features found in Britain today. Pasture is the ideal habitat for the preservation of both extant and buried archaeological features. Information relating to the significance of historic and archaeological features must be matched by relevant and appropriate recommendations for their management. www.nationaltrust.org.uk /environment/html/archeaol/papers/arch4_4.htm

AAA Code of Ethics Anthropology has roots in the natural and social sciences and in the humanities, ranging in approach from basic to applied research and to scholarly interpretation. The mission of American Anthropological Association is to advance all aspects of anthropological research and to foster dissemination of anthropological knowledge through publications, teaching, public education, and application. An important part of that mission is to help educate AAA members about ethical obligations and challenges involved in the generation, dissemination, and utilization of anthropological knowledge. www.aaanet.org /committees/ethics/ethcode.htm

Boone et al., Is it evolution yet? In the genetical theory of evolution by natural selection, it may well be meaningless to ask why, say, the sickle cell trait arose in the first place, because the mutation which produced it presumably occurred independently of its benefit to its heterozygous carrier (i.e., mutation is random with respect to adaptive value). In evolutionary archaeological theory, the production of new phenotypic variation (including novel forms of behavior or artifacts) is seen as conceptually analogous to the process by which new variants arise in the genetic code-undirected mutation and recombination. Whereas evolutionary ecological theory and analysis often refer to "decisions" and "strategies" and "goals," a key programmatic element of evolutionary archaeology is denial of the explanatory relevance of goals or intentions for evolutionary analysis. cogweb.ucla.edu /Abstracts/Boone_98.html   (740 words)

Kentucky Archaeological Survey For a tax-deductible contribution, volunteers work with scientists on archaeological and natural science projects around the world. Archaeological fieldwork and the use of documentary evidence are the focus of the field school. A compilation of 14 activities using historic artifacts and historic archaeological sites to introduce concepts used in archaeology (like stratigraphy, inference); perception of artifacts and their meaning; archaeological method (how to find sites and record them, excavation, how to conduct historic research); and how history and archaeology can be combined to learn about the past. ky.gov /agencies/khc/resources.htm   (740 words)

The Missing Link: Advances in geology and zoology had produced the idea of evolution: natural and human life had begun in a simpler, common form, and had become gradually diversified and sophisticated over an immense amount of time. The novelist has much greater freedom than the archaeological forger who cannot animate his fiction. The treasure was a forgery because its provenance was false. www.clarku.edu /~piltdown/map_expose/the_missing_link.html   (352 words)

Introduction to Archaeology (ANTH 110/310) These numbers are plotted onto a contour map, whose patterns can reveal the existence of natural and archaeological features that cause changes in the local magnetic field. Such subsurface surveys are often quite useful in making decisions about where to place excavation units so as to have a high chance of finding archaeological features. Shown here is a simple field transit (best operated with both eyes open!), which is adequate for many archaeological applications. www.ukans.edu /~hoopes/methods/methods.html   (352 words)

Ferret FAQ - Natural History My opinion is domestication alters the gene frequencies of an animal, much like natural selection, so domestication is a speciation event and domesticates are new species. Nevertheless, it is clear from other archaeological and historical sources that ferrets have been domesticated for quite a while, at least 2500 years. Ferrets will share space with other ferrets, polecats are very territorial (in a natural state). www.rud.dk /ferrets/faqhtml/history.html   (9316 words)

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History It now ranks among the six largest natural history museums in the nation, housing approximately 14 million biological, geological, anthropological, and archaeological specimens. In addition to being known for its research and exhibitions, Carnegie Museum of Natural History is also a major educational institution.

SC Sea Grant Consortium - Coastal Heritage, Spring 2005 Another problem with many pre-Clovis sites, critics say, is that natural items (such as burnt plant material) dated by radiocarbon techniques do not accurately reflect their real age. Most archaeological sites in North America claiming pre-Clovis tools have failed to gain scientific acceptance. Small stone pieces excavated at the Topper site in Allendale County could be central to the story of Homo sapiens. www.scseagrant.org /library/library_coaher_spr05.htm   (9316 words)

pp267-269 Vol 1 IoMNHASoc 1910 - Report Archaeological Section Our only local discovery outside the work of our Archaeological Survey has been that of a Bronze-age Burial in a sand-pit by the side of Glebe-lane, Peel, on the same natural plateau, and not far from Keeill Woirey, Ballalough, German. Naturally it is getting more difficult each year to gather further unpublished Folk-lore notes, and I am particularly indebted to Miss Morrison, of Peel, for furnishing me in August last, with the Fishermen's Prayer, when putting out to sea. The work depends entirely upon the small grant which our Society can yearly afford, and upon voluntary subscriptions ; and I trust that as it proceeds, it will continue to receive the active support of our members, as well as of many others who are interested in the past history of the Island. www.isle-of-man.com /manxnotebook/iomnhas/v01p267.htm   (571 words)

Annual Meeting 2002 Abstracts - Friday It cannot be overstated that in order to connect archaeological remains with the human occupants of a site we must first delimit the natural formation processes from the cultural ones and this can only be done by correctly interpreting the archaeological record. This paradigm and its explanatory validity for archaeological research will be discussed against the background of recent archaeological fieldwork in the Akko plain and the Land of the Philistines in Site B is contemporary with the latter part of the Çatalhöyük East sequence and is dated to the mid to late 7th millennium. www.asor.org /AM/fridayabs.html   (571 words)

Field Report 2000: architecture The field survey and recording in the historical archaeological component will focus on three specific material aspects of the recent past: agricultural structures and features; industrial remains; and evidence of sacred and ritual use of places such as shrines and votive offerings. The archaeological field survey will provide information on earlier structures and human activity. The historical archaeological program closely interrelates with other aspects of the TASP project (the detailed archaeological survey, the geobotany and geomorphology, sociological, architectural and pottery research), to ensure that the contemporary landscape is richly contextualised in terms of its many layers of social, cultural, political and historical meanings. www.taesp.arts.gla.ac.uk /Reports/2000_Architect.htm   (571 words)
