	Archeological sequence at Har Karkom provides a frame to people, climate and history events
		The archaeological testimony indicates that indeed this was a paramount sacred mountain, and multitudes of people camped at its foot.
		Archaeological research has shown that many of the sites mentioned in the biblical narrative of Exodus and Joshua, such as Jericho and Ai, flourished in the third millennium BC.
		Extensive archaeological excavations showed that Arad was a strongly fortified city in the early Bronze Age, but in the late Bronze Age it did not exist.

	ARCHAEOLOGICAL PALYNOLOGY
		Archaeological Palynology is a branch of Archaeobotany - applying botanical and paleo-botanical techniques to archaeological investigations.
		This branch of archaeological palynology focuses on the influence of vegetation and climate change on human behavior and demographic patterns in addition to the effect of humans on the environment.
		Archaeological mitigation of large construction projects often includes environmental reconstruction as a background for the chronology for human occupation of the area.

	CaliforniaPrehistory.com -- The History of Archaeological Classification in Central California
		The areal extent of the applicability of this sequence was not known, but it was generally assumed that the sequence applied at least as far south as Diablo Canyon, where a junction, generally placed at the 35th parallel, was thought to exist between the Central and Southern California culture provinces (Greenwood 1972:89).
		The first major archaeological sequence which was established for Central California was that of the Lower Sacramento Valley, where the longest known record of human occupation and the greatest amount of data from the Early Horizon was available.
		The units of the known sequence are too long to betray differences of a century or two in the appearance of new features, and the lack of other sequences for comparison eliminates the possibility of finding that the diagnostic features appear in a different order in different parts of the area.

	Archaeologists and Huaqueros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This unfortunate situation is poorly understood by the general public, which enjoys impressive collections of beautiful and exotic objects, but often does not understand that archaeologists, to interpret correctly the meaning or function of an object, must know the context of its recovery-how, where, and with what it was found.
		Archaeological investigations in the modern sense may be said to have begun in Costa Rica with the work of Swedish archaeologist Carl V. Hartman in 1896 and 1897.
		During the 1960s, controlled archaeological excavations were carried out by Matthew W. Stirling of the National Geographic Society on the Linea Vieja lowlands, and by William J. Kennedy of Florida Atlantic University and Carlos Aguilar of the Universidad de Costa Rica in the Reventazon River valley near Turrialba.

	1 - Introduction to Archaeology
		The earliest archaeological period, what is referred to as the Lower Palaeolithic period, starts off by looking for the time and place for the origin of humankind and the evidence is the remains of the human body itself, fossils, in fact.
		Basically, archaeological investigation aimed at the recovery of data is either done by excavation or by fieldwork or by a combination of both.
		This latter technique involves studying the tree-rings and matching the sequence of rings with a sequence of rings on a master sequence for that particular ecological area.

	RedOrbit - Science - On chronology-building for Central Thailand through an attribute- based ceramics seriation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This sequence has great anthropological importance for Southeast Asia, because it is during this time that we see the emergence of complex polities and, perhaps, the region's earliest states.
		The ceramic assemblages from recent archaeological salvage projects in the Pa Sak River valley in the Central Plain of Thailand were chosen as a case study on ceramic chronology for several reasons.
		Based on archaeological evidence, Noen E-Saew is relatively dated to the Neolithic period on the basis of a lack of bronze artifacts and the presence of polished stone tools.

	The Shelby White - Leon Levy Program for Archaeological Publications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The aim of this project is to fully present, analyze, and interpret a set of archaeological data that is relevant and essential to studies of the formation of complex societies.
		The pertinent archaeological data were collected in the course of 11 seasons of excavations at the prehistoric site of Chogha Mish in lowland Susiana, southwestern Iran, by Helene J. Kantor and Pinhas Delougaz of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.
		Chogha Mish is unique in southwest Asia in its long, uninterrupted archaeological sequence from the early Neolithic to the end of the Protoliterate period, spanning some 4000 years of occupation.

	Canterbury Archaeological Trust - St. Peter's Lane
		An archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed development of the St Peter's Lane frontage of the Pound Lane car park was undertaken in September, 1993 with some useful results.
		O.D. The general sequence of deposits revealed was broadly the same across the entire length of the trench, although a modern cellar had destroyed the upper levels adjacent to St Peter's Lane.
		The general sequence on the site is thus fairly straightforward, with water-laid Roman sediments over river gravel, being separated from thick medieval dump deposits by a layer of organic peat.

	Archaeological Site of Harappa - UNESCO World Heritage Centre
		The archaeological site of Harappa consists of a series of low archaeological mounds and cemeteries to the south of a dry bed of the Ravi river.
		The site’s sequence stretches from the fourth to the second millennium BC and whilst there are a limited number of open sections, the only exposed structures, on mound AB and F, date to the third millennium.
		The archaeological sequence at the site of Harappa is over 13 metres deep, spanning the period between the fourth and second millennium BC.

	Y2K BCE: Problems in the chronology of the early Middle Bronze Age and the role of radiocarbon dating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Despite Beck’s concerns already in 1985 that inter-regional differences limit the utility of the Aphek sequence, a characteristic that has been further underscored by the evidence from Kabri and Dan, some of her seminal observations still hold, particularly her identification of the so-called Levantine Painted Ware as a ceramic hallmark of the early MB IIa.
		As the individual harvests, which what the radiocarbon measurement reflects, are in relative chronological sequence, we must assume that the true answer for the earliest phase must be in the beginning of its range, the second in the middle of its range, and the last at the end of its range.
		As to seeds in the archaeological sequence, the archaeological difficulty is not readily resolved, but I am optimistic that a statistically valid and archaeologically meaningful method may yet be developed.

	assemblage 4 -- Context Transformation of a Roman Hot Bath in Beirut
		The site-wide sequence was compiled from and validated against the plans and context records during the excavation, and checking of the sequence was completed as soon after the excavation as funding allowed.
		Instead, we had to recognise that we were dealing with a sequence that had two tops -- two 'ups' -- and that the practicalities of excavating these two superimposed multilinear [15] sequences, complex in their own right, required that we could not physically excavate the room stratigraphically (from the top to the bottom).
		Their basic motivation was to standardise the quality of archaeological recording and recovery among a large workforce with disparate levels of skill, while creating an archive that could later be reworked and interpreted by any archaeologist in the light of new discoveries and approaches.

	Mike Griffiths & Associates: Projects
		Mike Griffiths and Associates were commissioned by Hotel du Vin to undertake an archaeological building survey and desk-based assessment of the Allan House building on City Road, Ouseburn, Newcastle.
		To the south of the farm buildings the evaluation revealed the presence of a well preserved sequence of archaeological features dated to the medieval and post medieval period.
		Results from the evaluation suggested the presence of a Roman road postulated from the presence of a Roman ditch interpreted as a flanking ditch.

	Archaeological horizon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All have in common, the idea of a distinctive level in the archaeological sequence of the features of a site, an area within the site or in a wider, geographical area.
		Or an archaeological horizon can be understood as a break in contexts formed in the Harris matrix which denotes a change in epoch on a given site by delineation in time of finds found within contexts.
		The term 'Archaeological horizon' is sometimes used in place of the term layer or strata but this is an example of its less rigourous use.

	The Tabun C2 Mandible - Nathan Holton - Chp 2
		The cultural sequence of Layer E was later given a new designation after Rust (1950) who used the term “Acheulo-Jabrudian” to refer to the presence of Acheulian bifaces and Jabrudian scrapers in the lithic assemblage from the lower levels of Yabrud Rockshelter I in
		C dates to calibrate the sequence, Unit I was found to date to 50,000 kya (Weinstein, 1984) although given the limitations of radiocarbon dating, this date should be viewed as a minimum value.
		The continuity found in the Tabun archaeological sequence was taken as evidence of biological continuity in the Levant (Jelinek, 1982).

	The Neolithic of the Levant (Excerpt 42)
		The occupation sequence at Nahal Oren covers a long period of time yet the remains of the superimposed phases of the settlement are less than 4 kilometres deep (See Figure 2b ibid).
		Although the archaeological cultural sequence is complete from Mesolithic 1 to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B there is too little occupation deposit on the site for it to have been continuously occupied by man. It is more likely that occupation was discontinuous but that people returned to the site in each cultural phase.
		The stratigraphical position of both was the same in their respective sequences, sandwiched between Mesolithic 2 and PPNB layers (See Page 2 in 2 and Figure 2b in 3 Below).

		This situation was particularly regrettable since downstream in northern Syria recent archaeological work along the Euphrates basin had demonstrated beyond doubt the historical importance of the area.
		As part of this effort a number of Turkish and foreign expeditions were fielded, and as a result of their work a much clearer picture than was heretofore possible of the archaeological history of an important region of the northern periphery of the Fertile Crescent has begun to emerge.
		The site is located in the lower portion of the Karababa reservoir area and is one of several sites that hold the key for understanding the archaeological sequence of the lower portion of the Euphrates basin in southeastern Turkey.

		The earlier part of this chronological sequence is similar to that established along the northern slopes of the Caucasus at Mezmaskaya cave.
		Archaeological survey has become increasingly sophisticated over the past decades and the systematic recovery of surface materials has become a useful way to carry out a regional distributional archaeology, with the aim of integrating such distributions into a more comprehensive landscape model for the movements, emplacements and activities of prehistoric, especially mobile foraging, peoples.
		Archaeological excavation was in a fine matrix of well-rounded coarse sands that naturally does not include larger fractions.

	Savannah River Archaeological Research Program - About SRARP
		Archaeologically, the activities involved the processing of at least some fairly hard/dense material (e.g., bone or wood), as indicated by tool use-edge damage, and the maintenance of bifaces and formal unifaces.
		Thus, with both the site and stream-head basin lithologic sequences being well dated, and their depositional processes reasonably well understood, it is now possible to correlate the two sequences, and the processes that formed them, with a fair degree of accuracy.
		Archaeological excavations at the site were conducted in the spring of 2005 to ground truth the results of a multi-sensor geophysical survey.

		But it was in the Germanic world that these regional archaeological cultures reached their greatest level of specificity and complexity, and the master of all these local cultures was Vladimir Milojcic, who turned Heidelberg University into the most important center for the study of European Prehistory.
		The archaeological sequence at Troy, established by Heinrich Schliemann and Wilhelm Doerpfeld, between 1870 and 1904, became the basis for the absolute chronology of prehistoric Europe.
		As luck would have it, 1949 proved to be a fateful date for the appearance of such a monograph, for that very year saw the appearance of the first archaeological dates by the new radiocarbon technique, established by the physicist Willard Libby.
