		Archaeology (or Archeology) is the study of human activity, primarily through the study of its material remains.
		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.

		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.
		Some major (although not exhaustive) goals of archaeology are to document and reconstruct cultural systems, define and interpret the use and meaning of past material culture and technology, explain cultural change and cultural evolution, and explore the relationship between cultural systems, landscapes, and natural environments and other organisms.
		Much of the early history of professional archaeology was motivated by an attempt to distance itself from pseudo-archeologists and dilettantes, and to establish itself as a science.

	Oceanic art - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Oceanic art
		Covering a wide geographical area, Oceanic art is extremely diverse in style and technique.
		Most Oceanic arts are considered primitive in that until recently the indigenous cultures possessed no metal, and cutting tools were of stone or shell.
		Although Oceanic art is considered to have little historic depth, an outstanding example of prehistoric art is found in the sculpture of Easter Island, huge standing carved-stone figures up to 18 m/60 ft high, possibly representing ancestors.

		Athens; but the marble sculptures themselves were valued by his critics only for their aesthetic qualities, not for the light they might throw on Greek civilisation.
		Early archaeology was largely an attempt to uncover spectacular artifacts and features, or to explore vast and mysterious abandoned cities.
		Postprocessualism is a valid branch of archaeology that looks skeptically on claims to scientific impartiality, but it does not conclude that these methods should be entirely dispensed with and forgotten.

	Polynesia - Lapita Pottery
		The easily identified style of pottery now called Lapita is a distinctive Oceanic cultural complex that eventually would prove to be ancestral to Polynesian culture in the western area of the Polynesian triangle.
		The initial discovery of this pottery was made by Father Otto Meyer in 1908-1909 at the village of Rakival on the small island of Waton some 6.5 kilometers off the northeastern end of New Britain in the Bismark Archipelago (see map locality 3).
		Oceanic archaeology moved into a modern phase during the 1950s and 1960s and it was not long before previously reported Lapita sites were systematically re-examined and new ones discovered, excavated and dated.
