	Archaeology - Conservation Policies - Sierra Club
		Because a knowledge of the extent and nature of archeological resources is necessary for their management and protection, public land agencies must give a high priority to inventory and documentation.
		Archeological Research in Wilderness Areas Archeological resources within designated wilderness and wilderness study areas must be protected in accordance with applicable laws.
		Archeological excavations in wilderness areas should be small and inconspicuous (except where the archeological resources would be destroyed by natural forces) and should employ techniques that minimize impacts on the surrounding environment and that, to the maximum extent possible, return the site to its previous, natural state.

	A Rich and Ancient Heritage
		However, based on information from archeological studies, written records (such as diaries, deeds, early surveys, local histories, and maps), oral histories, ethnologies, professional and avocational archeologists, and collectors, we are refining our ability to predict where both prehistoric and historic archeological sites are expected to be found.
		Accordingly, archeological sites in archeologically sensitive lands need to be considered during the early planning stages of land development activities and need to be recognized as important resources in local and regional plans.
		Archeological sensitivity means that different environmental factors - including present and past topography, sunlight exposure, slope, distance to water (existing and relict sources), and availability of food and other vital materials - exist in various combinations in these lands.

	Archeological Resource Management in the Beirut Central District
		In this case the archeological value, the socio-economic needs and legal conditions had to be evaluated by all people and institutions involved in the are of the excavations of BEY 018.
		As far as cultural (archeological) resource management was concerned the following criteria were used to reach a negative recommendation for preservation in situ: (1) the scientific value, (2) the importance for the public (national and international), (3) the symbolic value, (4) the importance of the future use of the area.
		The concept of a park in which the archeological remains of major importance are on display for the general public is a useful instrument in the decision-making of in situ preservation, preservation ex situ (= excavation = destruction), or removal and reconstruction.

	Appendix 13. Curatorial Care of Archeological Objects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Careful handling, packaging and storage of archeological objects are crucial for the survival of the material as an "artifact" rather than as a mass or lump of stable compounds produced by the ongoing processes of deterioration.
		If the archeological significance, present condition, and intended use of the object require treatment beyond brushing away loosely adherent dirt, additional cleaning, stabilization, or repair should be conducted only by or with the advice of a conservator experienced in the treatment of archeological material.
		Archeological objects are often weak due to deterioration during the underground period.

	Vermont Division For Historic Preservation - Research
		Vermont has a very rich store of archeological sites from the last 300 years, representing long forgotten stories of exploration and war, relations with the native occupants, early settlement, industry and commerce, tourism, many aspects of transportation history, and the unwritten stories of minority communities (about Native Americans in particular, but also fl Americans).
		Archeological sites are often the only source of information for the longest part of human history in Vermont.
		Vermont's archeological sites can also inform us about past environments, landscape changes, climatic changes, and the ways in which native people and their cultures successfully adapted to such changes.

	Section III: Guidelines For Evaluating And Registering Archeological Properties, National Register of Historic Places ...
		Where the archeological record is well-known, the locations and types of sites may serve as the basis for predictive models for further site identification.
		The identification of archeological properties is discussed more thoroughly in the National Register bulletin Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning, especially Chapter 11, "Conducting the Survey," and Appendix 1, "Archeological Surveys." Also see The Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Identification.

	ACHP \| Section 106 Regulations Archeology Guidance
		Therefore management of archeological sites should be conducted in a spirit of stewardship for future generations, with full recognition of their non-renewable nature and their potential multiple uses and public values.
		Archeological data recovery plans and their research designs should be grounded in and related to the priorities established in regional, state, and local historic preservation plans, the needs of land and resource managers, academic research interests, and other legitimate public interests.
		The archeological site should be significant and of value chiefly for the information on prehistory or history it is likely to yield through archeological, historical, and scientific methods of information recovery, including archeological excavation.

	CONSIDERATIONS FOR PROTECTING ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES ON PRIVATE LANDS
		The Ozette archeological collection is housed, curated, and exhibited in accordance with appropriate Makah traditions at the Makah Cultural and Research Center, which was established to oversee and coordinate programs affecting the culture and cultural education of the Makah people.
		Archeological sites are fragile, and there are a variety of agents that can change, damage, or destroy not only the spatial and temporal relationships of archeological information, but also the self identity of groups that ascribe traditional cultural values to archeological sites.
		Archeological sites are an inherent part of the land, at least until they are excavated properly or destroyed through any of the activities previously discussed.

	ANSSWeb - National Archeological Database (NADB)
		NADB is an archeological information management system intended to improve the exchange of archeological information among archeologists and resource managers and to facilitate informed decisions about the preservation and management of archeological resources.
		However, many archeological reports have limited distribution and are not entered in any other database; NADB-Reports attempts to bring these reports together in one place.
		A look at the NADB Archeological Citation Map in the NADB-MAPS module shows just how spotty the reporting coverage is. For example, as of January 1997, there are only 97 reports cited from Ohio in the entire database while Utah has over 7000 reports cited from the 1980s alone.

		The pixel (picture element) is the square area being sensed, and the size of the pixel is directly proportional to sensor height.
		For example, pixels from Landsat satellites are about 100 feet (30 m) on a side, and thus have limited archeological applications.

	Adam's bridge - An Archeological Review
		In the archeological report, the bridge is quoted to have been existing for atleast 1 million years to a possible 2 million years at the maximum (since the yielded evidence of humans in India is around two million years).
		This becomes a crucial clue from the Srilankan counterparts of Archeology about the age of the bridge and its archeological status and hence a detailed investigation is compelling over its structure (probably by seismic or shoal layer or coral reef testing methods) essentially with the help of the governmental organizations.
		As intriguing as this archeological possibility may be, current ideas about human evolution forbid it.
