	Philosophy and the New Archaeology
		Archaeology is generally taken to have become established in the nineteenth century with Jacques Boucher de Perthes' discovery of chipped stones in Somme river gravel quarries, alongside the bones of now-extinct animals.
		In order to practice archaeology it would be necessary to question presuppositions that had previously been implicit and reject them if required, as well as to consider the impact that the philosophy of science would have as debates therein changed the image of archaeology that had been crafted to date.
		For the New Archaeologists the claim that classifications could exist with or without archaeologists to employ them was just another instance of the idea that archaeology was a neutral science with the preconceptions of its practitioners not affecting the conclusions reached, as opposed to facts unavoidably being theory-laden.

	Archaeology Indian archaeology World archaeology Archaeology sites Archaeological discoveries History of archaeology
		Archaeology is the study of the past by finding the remains left behind by people who lived in the past.
		It was “proof” that archaeology could be done scientifically and objectively and that information about past lifeways could be discovered, and that the pitfalls that seemed so overwhelming could, perhaps, be sidestepped as long as archaeologists were rigorous enough.
		Archaeology, through study of bone fractures and cut marks, can reform the hunting, skinning, and butchering techniques and culinary practices of prehistoric people.

	The New Archaeology
		Current archaeology models at that time, therefore, were fine for reconstructing the history of the site, but were inadequate when it came to attempting to explain why things changed.
		The goal of archaeology should be to evaulate the past and attempt to deduce the universal rules that govern human behavior.
		In this book, the advocates of the New Archaeology argued that archaeological data had a great potential to be used for learning about past social and economic systems of the past.

		However, a new generation of "scholars" in "the 1960's and early 1970's" arose which dubbed themselves "new biblical archaeologists".

		The primary goal of the programme is to develop a better understanding of human utilization of environmental resources, particularly flora and fauna, throughout the millenium since first occupation of New Zealand, and the impact of this exploitation on the environment.
		It uses two broad approaches: detailed local studies of patterns of resource use through time and their accompanying environmental impacts, based upon archaeological and palynological data; and thematic investigations of the utilisation of specific animal and plant resources.
		The primary objective of this programme is to develop a better understanding of human settlement patterns, culture contact and change during the last 200 years in New Zealand through the archaeological analysis of places, groups of people and their activities that are poorly represented in the historical record.
