Archaeology is the primary means for reconstructing the human past when there is no written record (generally, more than 5,000 years ago), when the written record is incomplete, or when the written record is biased.
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.

 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1707 in archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One event in a year's archaeology does not justify a list of that year's archaeological events.
Based on the List of years in archaeology, it seems that the 1700s were mediocre for the activity, so merge all "17??
Important Dates in Archaeology is something that might make a good article, possibly by merging all these year-by-year lists together into a new article.

Between 10,500 and 9,500 years ago, trees (pine, poplar, birch, oak, with other hardwoods later) covered the Maine landscape, forcing everyone who has resided here since to live and travel along lakes and waterways and otherwise accommodate to a dense forest.
One such accommodation is the proliferation of stone axes and gouges during the Archaic Period (between 10,000 and 3000 years ago), indicating exquisite skill in woodworking, examples of which have not survived in Maine's acidic soil.
Until 4000 years ago, we have reason to believe that people traveled in dugout canoes on the ocean, on rivers, and on major lakes.

 Space: The Final [Archaeological] Frontier
But unlike the Laetoli prints, which have survived for 3.5 million years encased in cementlike ash, those at Tranquility Base could be swept away with a casual brush of a space tourist's hand.
In what may be the first instance of funded space archaeology research, a team led by Beth O'Leary, a New Mexico State University archaeologist, is studying legal ownership of artifacts and structures in space, and how one might go about documenting and preserving them.
As such, the mission of Apollo 12 provided the first example of aerospace archaeology, extraterrestrial archaeology and--perhaps more significant for the history of the discipline--formational archaeology, the study of environmental and cultural forces upon the life history of human artifacts in space.

 AiG—#1 on Archaeology hit list   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
But no, Archaeology makes no reference to AiG’s well-researched articles on various archaeological debates (see QandA: Archaeology); nor does it try to refute them.  Instead, it complains that AiG is ‘a pro-creationist web site that seeks to prove, among other things, the presence of dinosaurs in the Bible and the fallacy of carbon-14 dating.’
The editors at Archaeology are attacking beliefs, not science.  They clearly reject the possibility that God was an eyewitness to the key events in Earth history (Creation, Noah’s Flood, etc.) or that He left an infallible record of what happened.
In other words, the #1 condition for being labeled a ‘pseudoscientist’ in Archaeology is to reject their materialistic worldview and to follow a Biblical worldview.
