 Urban archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Urban archaeology is a sub discipline of archaeology specialising in the material past of towns and cities where long-term human habitation has often left a rich record of the past.
The site is excavated down to the first significant layer of archaeology and features excavated and recorded as normal but also planned as single contexts.
Context record sheets produced by the individual excavators provide further information on each context's nature and relationship with its neighbours.

Though ill-considered as an artistic medium, sound recordings have been produced by visual artists within a variety of contexts since the beginning of the twentieth century and are numerous.
The modern vinyl record was launched in 1948 and is a direct descendent of the gramophone record.
The record industry had spent the first twenty years of the century convincing the public that they needed a source of music in the home but they didn't foresee the possibility that it may be free.

 OSU Excavations at Isthmia
Recording is a crucial consideration since all records of activity and all objects, drawings, photographs, etc., must be properly recorded and related to their archaeological contexts.
That is, a single basket will be determined by the homogeneity of its appearance; it is assumed that all of the material in a single basket (soil, seeds, bones, pottery, gold coins) got into the soil at the same time (roughly) and probably as a result of the same cause or causes.
Records of all objects, contexts, etc., should include the lot number, since it is through this that the archaeological context of the material can be determined.

 The Context Toolkit: Aiding the Development of Context-Enabled Applications
The context information used by the information display is the location of the display, the identity of the user, the research group the user belongs to and information that is interesting to that research group.
Context widgets allow applications to specify conditions that must be fulfilled before they will be notified of a change in the context.
The context toolkit was inspired by the success of GUI toolkits and has similar benefits: building blocks called context widgets provide reusable solutions for context handling; by delegating details of context handling to the toolkit, we achieve separation of concerns between context sensing and application semantics.

 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.
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.
By adopting a rigid response, and allotting a context number to an entity that has no trace in the physical world and then enshrining this in the stratigraphic matrix at context level, one is not seeking to understand complexity, or acknowledge the dynamic nature of archaeological sites.

Early archaeologists kept site notebooks in which details of observations were recorded but it has long been realised that a more systematic way of recording site data is needed.
In this system, the action of digging a pit would be allocated a unique number (known as the ‘cut’) and the layers within it (known as ‘fills’) would be given their own unique numbers.
Each context is recorded on a standardised form that prompts a series of questions: location, plan, section and photograph numbers, description, relationship to other contexts, what is it above and below, have samples been taken, who excavated it, how and when?

 A Dynamic Context Recording and Modelling System for archaeology
The purpose of archaeological recording is to transfer the ground-based record system into a form accessible not just to the site archaeologist, but to all potential users, including other archaeologists, naval architects, environmentalists, historians and geologists.
The technology used to record the data is therefore not a secondary concern, a mere bureaucratic irritation, but is central to the activity of site archaeology properly considered.
Field archaeology is a system for planning and managing the recovery of the soil database, recording deposited materials, modelling their dynamics, and deducing the processes by which the deposits were laid down from the data collected.

Role of CONSER (Single Records and 856 Field) Fortunately, at approximately the same time that we affirmed our initial approach to providing Internet-related information in Monthly Catalog records, members of CONSER (Cooperative Online Serials) and OCLC personnel were developing policies and practices that provided a national level context for Internet-related cataloging initiatives.
Use of a single record for Internet purposes was consistent with our well-established policy of using a record for a work in paper to also represent microfiche reproductions.
In some instances, records representing works that existed only in electronic form and were cataloged initially as "electronic only" are upgraded by the addition of physical description data to reflect subsequent publishing of paper and other editions.

 Document Title
The stratigraphic relationships of contexts are recorded diagrammatically (as shown in Chapter 1.3, Fig 1).
Based on the plan overlays, which are sorted by grid-square from the uppermost excavated unit downwards, in the order of recording, the numbers of all drawn contexts are recorded per gridsquare on plan matrices.
On the context sheets the relationships to all contexts that were not drawn, such as feature fills, are added and cross-referenced to previously excavated, overlying contexts.

Most business pages spun the announcement as a Big Four record label responding to the "spectacular" uptick in popularity for music downloading services and the collapse in sales of the CD, portraying the two as forces balanced at either end of the sales seesaw.
Record labels receive about 70¢ of the 99¢ per song fee collected by Apple.
That level of market dominance may be the real sticking point for the recording industry, which has long been used to actually driving the market rather than being in the passenger seat.

Each excavated feature is recorded through being drawn in plan Archaeological plan In an archaeological excavation, a plan is a drawn record of features (and artifacts) in the horizontal plane.
It can either take the form of a "top-plan", or pre-excavation plan, which is drawn before any features are excavated and can help with the management of the excavation, or of a post-excavaton plan, where excavated features are drawn in three dimensions with the help of drawing conventions such as hachures.

Abstract: The development of microphone array systems for recording both stereo and multichannel sound is directly dependent on the configuration of the reproduction system.
This paper describes the intersection between the psychoacoustics of the multichannel listening environment and the physics of the microphone array in the context of univalent recording/reproduction systems, and how realistic natural reproduction of the sound field can be achieved.
This dissertation describes a complete investigation of the proposed recording technique including an analysis of the basic concept, performance and suggested applications.

It was only in 1932, when the statue was already in a state of serious deterioration and decay, that it was recognised for what it was, and it took nearly two years to restore it to its present condition.
In doing so, he made the obvious point that excavation is a destructive process, and stressed that the most important duty of an archeologist is to generate as much data as possible during the process.
Single context recording is one of the best methods of doing this.

It concludes that the sum total of all prior LEOs on the subject is that any and all wiretapping and one-party-consent recording of telephone conversations by lawyers or at their direction is prohibited ­p; and then goes on to say it wants to change that.
The committee concludes, however, by saying that it "recognizes other factual situations in which the lawful recording of a telephone conversation by a lawyer, or his or her agent, might be ethical."
In addition, taking any legal information out of context, i.e., using it in a different court or a subtly different kind of case, or without the training to understand all of what it means or doing research to verify it, usually has disastrous consequences.

A single context recording system was employed (although site diaries were kept in addition, and multiple-context plans were made), and features are identified by their cut numbers.
The single fill 075 had been heavily disturbed by root penetration and animal burrowing, and consisted of a loose loamy sand with small and medium sized stones (7.5 YR 2.5/2 very dark brown).
These contexts were divided by 338, a friable silty material (10 YR 6/3 pale brown), which is presumably a silting into the post-pipe.

 Egyptian Cultural Heritage Organisation (ECHO)
Egypt’s archaeological record chronicles the development of human societies, providing evidence of hunter-gatherers, pastoralists and agriculturists and documenting the emergence of complex societies and the first nation-state.
Although the illegal threats are immense, such as looting, stealing and plundering (Renfrew 2000), a diversity of legal activities exert competing demands on the physical and cultural integrity of the cultural heritage (Skeates 2000: 39, 57).
The use of single context recording, which is commonly accepted as being the best form of recording for a deeply stratified site (Roskams 2001; Westman 1994), has also only recently been implemented in Egypt.
