	Archaeology
		Archaeology (or Archeology) is the study of human activity, primarily through the study of its material remains.
		Prior to this, excavation had tended to be haphazard; the importance of concepts such as stratification and context was completely overlooked.
		In 1803, there was widespread criticism of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin for removing the "Elgin Marbles" from their rightful place on the Parthenon in 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.

	NPS Archeology Program: Interpretation for Archeologists
		It educates people on what archeology is and what archeologists do, and it leads them to understand the purposes and meanings of archeological work to their own lives.
		If archeology is how modern people “touch” the past, and interpretation is the “bridge” between the past and the present, then archeologists are charged with the responsibility of bringing forth the stories of time, place, and situation.
		One of the responsibilities of interpreters of archeology is to provide accurate and balanced information about multiple perspectives, but also to recognize that this kind of interpretation is a tool that allows for respect and communication.

	Stratification (archeology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Archaeological stratification or sequence is the dynamic superimpostion of single units of stratigraphy or contexts.
		It is more useful to think of the higher term as it relates to the contexts position in a Harris matrix which is a two dimensional representation of a sites formation in space and time.
		The Law of Superposition In a series of layers and interfacial features, as originally created, the upper units of stratification are younger and the lower are older, for each must have been deposited on, or created by the removal of, a pre-existing mass of archaeological stratification.

		Archaeology (or archeology) is the scientific study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
		Other disciplines also supplement archeology, such as paleontology (the study of prehistoric life), including paleozoology and paleobotany, geography, geology, history, art history, and classics.
		In 1803, there was widespread criticism of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin for removing the "Elgin Marbles" from their rightful place on the Parthenon in Athens; but the marble sculptures themselves were valued by his critics only for their aesthetic qualities, not for the information they might supply about Greek civilisation.

	Civilization
		Webster’s dictionary defines a civilization as an advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions.
		While this may seem to be an acceptable definition, in the world of archeology, it simply isn’t elaborate enough.
		While each of Childe’s ten conditions are all of importance, it is essentially incorrect to assume that a society is not a civilization simply because it does not fulfill all of the conditions.

	Philosophy and the New Archaeology
		One of the reasons for the relative ease with which archaeology took root was its association with two other intellectual currents.
		Firstly, James Hutton and later Charles Lyell had investigated rock formations and used stratification to support a principle of uniformitarianism, according to which conditions in the past were the same as (hence uniform with) our own, enabling us to infer things about the past from current geological arrangements.
		It was also argued that the processes that could account for stratification are still in operation today, such that the Earth had to be far more ancient than was otherwise believed.

		It is hard to imagine what archeology must have been like before the invention of radiocarbon dating in the late 1950's.
		Scholars had figured out the process of stratification early in the twentieth century, which provided them with a relative chronology of objects recovered from archeological sites throughout Mesoamerica.
		So, having established the idea of stratification, archeologists could then assign things like distinctive kinds of pottery or special stone tools to periods in the past.

		The anthropologists were "surprised at the strengths of these traditional role conceptions" and shocked at the pervasiveness of the "traditional view of women as passive, as sexual objects, as low status, as peripheral to male social life, as persons who serve others" (Spradley and Mann: 146).
		The findings of Spradley and Mann indicate an American gender system with a deeply rooted gender stratification which systematically reduces the status of women in relation to men and, both directly and indirectly, limits women's access to resources and opportunities.

		There are, however, some notable omissions, including the work of Steven Meisel and Corinne Day, which make one question the objectivity of a photography book partly compiled by a photo agent (Marion de Beaupré's Paris agency represents photographers like Paolo Roversi and Peter Lindbergh).
		While the book argues that new grammatical possibilities have grown out of the changing visual landscape, the four essays that preface each chapter are turgid to the point of unreadable.
		In what must come as a complete surprise to Steven Meisel, he "documents, if less bitingly than Testino, the saturated society in the form of a phenomenology of hegemonic poses and attitudes in a setting pose-designed for them." Hegel couldn't have put it more elegantly himself.

		A second pair of electrodes is then used to quantitatively measure the voltage pattern on the surface resulting from the current flow pattern of the first set of electrodes.

		Boulders, geological stratifications and water-table depth can also be successfully located by the use of resistivity by selecting appropriate electrode spacing to allow the probing current to enter the ground to the appropriate depth.

	New discoveries in Syria confirm theory on spread of early civilization
		An outstanding example of a bone stamp seal, which shows a lion attacking a horned animal, was found in a pit in the oven area behind the burned building.
		Gibson describes the cumulative result of this evidence—the administrative artifacts, the institutional-scale ovens, the large, central building, and the city wall: “They show that bureaucracy, accounting, social stratification and possibly the position of kingship all were being created earlier than we thought, at a time before southern colonists arrived to occupy the territory.
		Clearly, the north was relating to the south as an equal rather than as an undeveloped resource area that was peripheral to a ‘civilized’ south.” This evidence of equality in development implies that there was a long, prior development of complexity, not just in Iraq but also in Syria, and arguably in Turkey and Iran.
