	Rescue archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rescue archaeology was a movement of the early 1970s, particularly in Britain which sought to lobby to help stop the loss of archaeological evidence, where it was threatened by building development work in the historic cities, and by agriculture.
		The focus of early work was in setting up organisations that could undertake 'rescue' excavations in the teeth of the bulldozer.
		In the UK it has now been largely superseded by archaeology's incorporation into the planning process through the introduction of PPG 16 in 1990.

		However, little thought was given to the impact the expanding rescue, or "preventive" archaeology, procedures had on the academic practice and teaching of the discipline, which mainly concentrated on the diversity of the archaeological record himself, from the Paleolithic to the contemporary world.
		Archaeology does not now study the past, it processes it: by integrating (transforming) the discipline into a purely economic pursuit, the archaeologist is denied the right to say, i.e.
		In the final analyses, archaeology bursts: fewer and fewer students plan to make a career in "preventative" or "rescue" archaeology, whereas these excavations constitute, for the majority of archaeologists, the single (archaeological) means for earning their living.

	Global Oceanographic Data Archaeology and Rescue
		In December 1992, NODC/WDC presented a proposal for the Global Oceanographic Data Archaeology and Rescue (GODAR) Project at the 14th Session of the Committee on International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) where it was approved.
		The goal of GODAR was to increase the volume of historical oceanographic data available to climate change and other researchers by locating ocean profile and plankton data sets not yet in digital form, digitizing these data, and ensuring their submission to national data centers and the World Data Center System.
		The GODAR Project continues to locate and rescue historical oceanographic profile and plankton data that are at risk of being lost, due to media decay and/or neglect.

	Archaeologists and Development, Salisbury Museum 1997
		The practice of "rescue archaeology" involves a hasty inspection of sites before they are damaged or destroyed entirely by roads or supermarkets; the focus is on a sample of sites, rather than on the preservation of an intact landscape.
		RESCUE believes i) that a thorough review of the potential damage to archaeology by current "preservation" practice is needed and ii) that the process by which development is permitted as a result of such "mitigation" measures needs to be reviewed, with a stronger case for the prevention of development where proper preservation cannot be insured.
		RESCUE contends that one major cause of archaeology's current state is the inability of many in the profession to speak out simply because they are afraid of the consequences of such actions.

	Guidelines for local societies
		If archaeology is to survive and flourish, it is vital it should flourish at the grassroots, and that there should be local groups of independent archaeologists who are prepared to put their time and effort into studying their past.
		They are the people who study the archaeology of the area, and pull it all together, and the society should therefore be kept fully informed of the work.
		Archaeology will only flourish if there are independent bodies willing and able not only to support archaeology, but also to do it.

		Archaeology, therefore, is part of the larger field of anthropology, the scientific and humanistic study of man and culture.
		In the last 50 years, a special type of archaeology has grown in scope and application rescue archaeology also called public or conservation archaeology, has saved remains of the human past from needless loss and destruction often associated with publicly funded construction.
		Together, conservation and rescue archaeology are working to save a portion of our rich archaeological past so that the generations of today and tomorrow will have a heritage to enjoy and explore.

	Archaeology to the Rescue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Their mission is rescue excavation, which means moving fast: "When a developer wants to demolish an old building and replace it with a tower," he says, "we have a few weeks to excavate down to rock."
		Among the most intriguing of the land excavations he's involved with now is a new dig in the eastern part of the modern city.
		Archaeology normally gets done by teams of scholars who travel to dig sites and stay for several months before heading back to their sponsoring museums or universities, only to return again later to those sites that have remained secure in their absence, and in a good state of preservation.

		Many oceanographic data are at risk of being lost to future use because of media degradation, hence the need for a "data rescue" effort in conjunction with the data archaeology effort.
		Data archaeology and rescue activities at WDC-A, Washington; WDC-B, Obninsk; WDC-D, Tianjin; ICES, Denmark; the Japanese Oceanographic Data Center, and other institutions all have identified major oceanographic databases that exist only in manuscript form.
		All the above institutions are already closely co-operating on archaeology and rescue activities to avoid duplication of effort and to maximize their resources.

	Archaeology and Rescue of the Aboriginal Presence in Cuba
		Archaeology and rescue in this case only serve the function of the museum collecting paradigm, an expression of the social unfinished model or non-functional model from which emerge works of surprising and exotic art through which primitive peoples pass, decontextualizations of a social process that is the base of the present national history.
		In the 20th century, the rescue of pre-Columbian cultures by archaeology took form with new scientific reasons that were translated in such a way as to broaden the discipline and promote the development of an assimilated historic vision of the aboriginal as an essential part of it, not just as an initial anecdote.
		In the case of Cuban archaeology today, the most frequent representation of this scheme is found in the classifications utilized on the effects of archaeological censuses of the island, where equal to the circular schemes circulate an essentially chronologic conception of advanced socioeconomics.

		By carefully documenting the precise location of each object in the ground, and recording the relative associations of each object to all others at the site, archaeologists can learn when objects were used and discarded, what the things were used for, and who may have used them.
		These relative positions and associations of objects in the earth are equally as important as the objects themselves in reconstructing the past through archaeology.

		It has become one of the most effective examples of rescue archaeology in the world; and as long as archaeologists continue to interpret it reasonably, there is no reason why it should not continue to function well.
