	Irish Archaeological Sites
		These sites are described in the literature as embanked enclosures, which appear to relate to the henges of Britain, and stone circles.
		The site at Monknewtown, Co Meath, for example, enclosed a cemetery of cremations, mainly in pits, and a ring-ditch; associated with beaker pottery and dated to 1860±45 uncal bc.
		To date the majority of these sites are known from the south-east of the country, especially Tipperary and Wexford, and appear to have been constructed along the marches or border lands of the Anglo-Norman colony and the Gaelic lands.

	Archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the goals of CRM are the identification, preservation, and maintenance of cultural sites on public and private lands, and the removal of culturally valuable materials from areas where they would otherwise be destroyed by human activity, such as proposed construction.
		Site survey is the attempt to systematically locate features of interest, such as houses and middens, within a site.
		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.

	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 sites are fragile and nonrenewable resources that demand vigorous preservation efforts by individuals, organizations, and state and local governments.

	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 not possess special significance to another ethnic group or community that historically ascribes cultural or symbolic value to the site and would object to the site's excavation and removal of its contents.

	Vermont Division For Historic Preservation - Research
		Archeological sites are often the only source of information for the longest part of human history in Vermont.

	Archeology Permits on State Land
		Archeological sites in which deposits of spatially related objects exist can reveal a great deal about the events which created these sites and are clearly "of archeological interest." Certain types of isolated objects may also be of significance even if not associated with any particular site.
		Site preservation is a priority in the management of these resources for the benefit of all New York residents.
		Because the purpose of the management of public archeological resources is to preserve these resources for all the residents of New York, present and future, and to create educational benefit from these resources through controlled scientific study, it would be inappropriate to release artifacts from integrated archeological sites to private ownership or sale.

	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.

	Prehistory and Archeology of the Upper Kickapoo Valley
		The age of some sites may be suggested by the degree of weathering, the extent to which the petroglyphs are covered by lichens, or stylistic markers such as bows and arrows.
		The majority of the open-air sites have been identified in upland settings and are thought to represent Middle and Late Archaic activities (3500 B.C. to 500 B.C.), as indicated by the abundance of Raddatz side-notched and expanding-stemmed Durst projectile points throughout the District.
		The setting where open-air sites are found may reflect the difficulties of locating archeological sites in lowland settings where they can be deeply buried by the river’s flood deposits or it may reflect the erosion of Archaic and Paleo-Indian sites by the Kickapoo River.

	Archeological Inventory and Evaluation of Lincoln's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The goal of this cultural resource project was to identify surface archeological sites that exist within the proposed corridors and to evaluate the potential for encountering unknown, or as yet unrecognized, but significant cultural resources that could be negatively impacted by projects related to this SEB Study, and subsequent development and/or construction.
		Most frequently, archeological sites are the result of human activity which concentrates resources at a central location where those resources are altered, consumed, discarded, lost, or abandoned when the group moves to another central location where the process is repeated (Binford 1983:262; Thomas 1989:224).
		Archeological sites are most commonly nominated for inclusion to the National Register under Criterion D, which includes properties that have the potential to contain information that answers important research questions about human prehistory or history which could not otherwise be addressed.
