  Archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archaeological excavation existed when the field was still the domain of amateurs, and it remains the source of the majority of data recovered in most field projects.
Scaled plans and sections of individual features are all drawn on site, fl and white and colour photographs of them are taken, and recording sheets are filled in describing the context of each.
The first major phase in the history of archaeological theory is commonly referred to as cultural, or culture, history, which was developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

 Archaeological section - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In archaeology a section is a view of an excavated archaeological trench or feature showing the contents of that feature in the vertical plane, as a cross-section, and thereby illustrating its profile and stratigraphy.
Large features such as barrows or sunken buildings might be sectioned in quarters and linear features are sectioned at intervals along their lengths.
Sections are used in connection with two-dimensional plans to record archaeological sites.

 CNPPID: Cultural Resources Management Plan
Archaeological activities such as sample survey work, subsurface testing, and mitigation (such as data recovery) will be scheduled based on consultations among Central, SHPO, and the principal investigator contracted to develop (and likely to carry out) the plan.
If archaeological sites are in the area, or if ground-disturbing activities beyond those in Appendix B are planned, Central will consult with SHPO to determine if a potential to impact archaeological sites exists.
Archaeological items collected during Central's surveys and inventories may be removed from the site for research/education and/or for protection from damage or unauthorized collectors.

 CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCE CONSERVATION IN THE ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING PROCESS
Archaeological Assessment reports are reviewed by MCTR to ensure that cultural heritage concerns have been met, that the consulting archaeologist’s activities have met the requirements identified in these guidelines and the Ontario Heritage Act, and that the archaeological resources found have been properly conserved.
However, if the work and resulting report are incomplete; do not meet the requirements of these guidelines; or indicate that archaeological resources found were not properly conserved, MCIR may require revisions to the report or additional field work be conducted, prior to clearance being issued or Stage 4 recommendations being approved.
When archaeological remains are encountered during the Stage 2 assessment, survey must be intensified around the area of the find to determine if it is isolated or is part of a larger artifact scatter.

The Archaeological Thin-Section Laboratory, based at the University of Manitoba, Canada, aims to train anthropology students in the science of incremental analysis - the study of growth marks in mineralised tissues.
The Laboratory seeks to contribute to the development of incremental studies as an archaeological tool, for the technique represents a promising approach in the study of fossil animals.
One particular aim is to establish a Manitoban database to enable the study of the seasonality and population structures of archaeofaunas.

The catalyst for the development of GIS by the Archaeology Section was the Historic Towns Survey project.
Through the linking of ESMR to the GIS, the Archaeological Section has gained access to a wide variety of data sets including topographical data, such as contours and rivers, and planning constraints such as Conservation Areas and Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
Using the hillshade tool, a relief map was also generated that helps researchers understand the location of archaeological and historic sites as well as provides a more interesting and realistic background for other data.
