	Archaeology
		Archaeology (or archeology) is the scientific study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
		The next major figure in the development of archaeology in the UK was Mortimer Wheeler, whose highly disciplined approach to excavation and systematic coverage of much of the country in the 1920s and 1930s brought the science on swiftly.
		It was now possible to study archaeology as a subject in universities and even schools, and by the end of the 20th century nearly all professional archaeologists, at least in developed countries, were graduates.

	Computational archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computational archaeology describes computer-based analytical methods for the study of long-term human behaviour and behavioural evolution.
		computational biology, computational physics and computational sociology), the term is reserved for (generally mathematical) methods that could not realistically be performed without the aid of a computer.
		Computational archaeology may include the use of geographical information systems (GIS), especially when applied to spatial analyses such as viewshed analysis and least-cost path analysis as these approaches are sufficiently computationally complex that they are extremely difficult if not impossible to implement without the processing power of a computer.

	Archeological excavations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Archaeology or sometimes in American English archeology (from the Greek words αρχαίος = ancient and λόγος = word/speech) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including architecture, remains, and landscapes.
		Archaeology is an approach to understanding lost cultures and the mute aspects of human history, without a cut-off date: in England, archaeologists have uncovered the long-lost layouts of medieval villages abandoned after the crises of the 14th century and the equally lost layouts of 17th century parterre gardens swept away by a change in fashion.
		Post-medieval archaeology is the study of material culture in Europe from the 16th century onwards.

		The significance of space as a concept brings many possibilities for synthesising more knowledge from the material record, as was first recognised during the advent of the 'new archaeology' of the 1960s.
		It is perhaps inevitable, therefore, that archaeology and geography have converged, and that there is an explicit recognition that archaeologists and geomorphologists must work together in the field to resolve a range of theoretical and applicative problems.
		The lack of a common theoretical framework for integrating GIS methods in archaeology — of establishing a relationship between the extremely precise elements of points, lines and polygons on which GIS rests, and far more abstract and subjective concepts of material culture - is well known (Rivett 1997).

	Paleoinformatics at the University of Arkansas - Goals
		The term paleoinformatics anticipates the continuing process of digital convergence as previously isolated methodologies become increasingly integrated through computational research and the parallel view that digital mensuration and other recording provides an environment that allows seamless movement of data and information from basic research through public interpretation.
		As Snow and his co-authors have made clear (2006), there are a wide range of differing terms (semantics) and classification structures (ontologies) in use across investigations.
		A major research area in computational investigations is the development of the “semantic web,” which is defined as a universal medium for the exchange of machine-readable data.

	Archon - Internationalization Programme
		A number of individuals and sub-areas of Dutch archaeology are recognised as amongst the world-leaders in their field, and this is certainly substantiated by the quality of the publications.
		It is sadly the case in archaeology that Dutch language publications are perceived to have little impact in the discipline, and there is perhaps a case for ARCHON to consider hosting the publication of a refereed journal in a foreign language in which all Dutch archaeologists could publish their work.
		Given the buoyancy of archaeology as a discipline in Dutch universities (we believe that undergraduate numbers are increasing) and the age profile of academic archaeologists, it appears essential that ARCHON takes a role in preparing postdoctoral archaeologists to enter the academic discipline as current staff retire.
