	Archaeology
		For field archaeologists, the most significant of these was the introduction of the geophysical survey, enabling an advance picture to be built up of what lies beneath the soil, before excavation even commences.
		The Australian archaeologist Vere Gordon Childe was one of the first to explore and expand this concept of the relationships between cultures especially in the context of prehistoric Europe.
		Archaeologists are also very much reliant on public support, the question of exactly who they are doing their work for is often discussed.

		Michael Shanks, of course, is one of the chief voices of the postprocessual archaeology which developed in the 80's in response to processual archaeology, the New Archaeology of the 60's.
		Shanks traces the development of the notion of Hellenism from the 16th to the 18th century through the activities of collectors, antiquarians, and early travelers, and the writings of Winckelmann.
		Shanks is convinced, though, that Classical archaeology is a rich field for the ongoing investigation of the relationship between the past and the present.

	Daniel Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daniel is a brilliant archaeologist and linguist who speaks twenty-three languages.
		Daniel's parents, also archaeologists, were crushed while overseeing a piece of Egyptian art being placed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.
		The actor, Michael Shanks, suffered appendicitis around the time the episode featuring his character's condition was filmed and was in no condition for any serious work, so the writers had to quickly reduce Jackson's role in the episode, and used Shanks's real-life condition.

	Stargate SG-1 Solutions: Michael Shanks
		Michael on his idea for writing an episode - at least, it was in 1999: "Quietus".
		Michael Shanks has a good sense of humour, and one of the reasons he got cast as Dr. Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1 was that the people in charge saw that “he could do comedy”.
		Shanks left the series at the end of season five, and his character gave up human life and ascended to a higher plane of existence.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.01.02
		Archaeologists may object that there is a world of difference between attributing something to a time or place, and attributing it to an individual "hand." But if there is such a difference, it works to the connoisseur's favor.
		Archaeologists may also object that their stylistic judgements derive from a painstaking correlation of "hard" excavation data, and therefore have an objectivity lacking in Beazley's attributions.
		Positivist archaeologists and historians presuppose the validity of stylistic analysis because stylistic analysis provides them with all their evidence for past actions and events; it reassures them that they are, in fact, archaeologists and not just misguided geologists.

	Excavating Posts
		Archaeologists, as the experts in these matters infer the presence of absent artefacts from surrounding objects, and spatial relationships.
		The navigation selections that are personally chosen from the amorphous range presented in response to a query, however, are akin to the archaeologist's application of an individualised and sense-making interpretation.
		The archaeologist is the subjective interface between contemporary formulations and understandings of the world and previous perspectives and social worlds that are suggested by objects which have persisted in the archaeological record.

	Save Daniel Jackson \| Michael Shanks in Dreamwatch
		Taking the responsibility for his departure firmly on his own shoulders, Shanks declares: “I think my naivety on the whole issue when I first started on the show was that I’d watched the original Stargate movie and saw where Daniel Jackson went in that.
		Shanks thinks that the very ‘warm relationship between himself and his costars, particularly Richard Dean Anderson.
		Although Shanks made the decision to pack up and leave rather than see the character’s potential whittled down, he admits to doing so with a very heavy heart.

	Shop Fresh : Article 'Archaeology' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		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.
		Given that typical digs will cause hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of artifacts to be recovered and analyzed, and the cost and effort of reanalysing artifacts is prohibitive, the question on categorization and analysis techniques must effectively be posed prior to an excavation or survey starting.
		Postprocessualism has become dominant in Europe, with some archaeologists speculating that the rise of postprocessualism there may be a direct result of anti-American sentiment.

		Archaeologists and anthropologists from UCL have been working on Bronze Age settlements of Leskernick and further afield on Bodmin Moor.
		Anthropologists and archaeologists continue to reproduce the hunter-gatherer/farmer divide which in turn reinforces a particularly narrow view of approaches and ways of telling the transition.
		The archaeologist’s performance can be enhanced with multimedia; the storytellers’ and ritual practitioners’ narratives may well have been enhanced by song, instrumental sound, and the incorporation of the material world into the narrative.

		Archaeologists, acknowledging that history is written by the winners, are now aware that archaeological research must shift from being conducted within a simple people-to-nature to a people-to-people perspective, as proposed Mazel (1989: 25) and, as a consequence, archaeologists must monitor the use of material culture to forge identities.
		Archaeologists have been pointing out that "silent majorities" are reflected in the material record and that archaeologists must increasingly take into account the interests of native people and of ordinary people in general.
		The archaeologists who work in this museum, nowadays the leading archaeological institution in the country, are thus in close contact with the educational implications of archaeology, although one must admit that sometimes there is still a lack of understanding between educators and archaeologists.

		Shanks recently did a guest-shot on an episode of the syndicated SF series "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda," which also films in Vancouver.
		Shanks spends a fair amount of his time coping with fatherhood, a task he shares with series star Richard Dean Anderson, whose daughter, Wylie Quinn Annarose Anderson, was born at almost the same time as Shanks' daughter.

		At the same time as promoting informed discourse, it might be argued that the discipline and its guardians can hinder it, excluding from the centre those who do not conform to the discipline's dictates ñ no matter how valuable a contribution they may have to make.
		Classical Archaeologists (and Classicists and Archaeologists) have begun to look at the history and objectives of their discipline with a much more critical eye.
		Both Ian Morris and Michael Shanks, for example, highlight the role played by Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century romantic ideas of Ancient Greece/ Hellas played in the history.

		It is an ontologically distinct entity—the past that existed as the present and exists no more—that through the archaeologist’s actions in real time can be partially recovered.
		But, and herein lies the fascination of it, for an archaeologist there is also a residue of this past that can be—and is—recovered.
		It is an object that existed in the past when it was the present and survived into the present, or my present.

		He then argues that archaeological research should not be conducted separately from such general considerations; instead, archaeologists ought to be concerned with the question whether and to what extent their work relates to the social demand for archaeology which is reflected in the popularity of the subject.
		It is surprising that archaeologists in their work often tend to reduce the contemporary meanings of (pre-)historic monuments to their mere informational value and neglect all other aspects of them.
		For instance, one issue that archaeologists should monitor more closely are the emerging nationalisms all over Europe and the role archaeology actually plays in their legitimation, whether knowingly or unknowingly.

		Some archaeologists in the United States are avowedly processualist in their approaches to the subject, whilst Australian archaeologists have embraced post-processualism.
		Archaeologists have also been obliged to re-examine what constitutes an archaeological site in view of what native peoples have informed them constitute sacred spaces.
		This allows the archaeologist to deduce what artifacts were likely used together.
