Archaeology is the study of the human past. Its initial objective is the construction of cultural chronology. Its intermediate objective is the reconstruction of past lifeways. Its ultimate objective is the discovery of the processes which underlie and condition human behavior. Archaeology (and alternately Archeology) is a science well suited for anyone who enjoys biology, botany, geology, chemistry, history, psychology, art, and solving a great puzzle. It is not looting and robbing. Various countries have enacted laws and regulations to ensure that their legacies are not exported or destroyed. There are acts which intend to repatriate looted legacies. In the United States of America, many state governments are sensitive to the need for archaeological study and excavation when any development project state-sponsored or commercial uncovers evidence of historical human presence.

Campus Chester campus Course BA (Hons) Single Length 3 Years Full-time Start date September 2011 Archaeology is a fascinating, rich and rewarding subject that explores many different aspects of humankind and embraces a wide range of skills and experiences. Archaeology is all about discovering and investigating the human past, from human evolution to the present day. By studying archaeology we can find out about how people spent their lives, where they lived, the clothes they wore and the food they ate. Archaeology can uncover the religions, burial customs and beliefs of past societies. Through artefacts and excavations, extraordinary details of the daily lives of past generations can be investigated. Archaeology offers a perspective on broad topics, such as how different societies identified and organised themselves, how they co-existed and interacted with other communities and how they perceived and used the physical landscape in which they lived.

Acknowledgments Professional archaeologists work for universities, colleges, museums, the federal government, state governments, in private companies, and as consultants. They teach, conduct field investigations, analyze artifacts and sites, and publish the results of their research. The minimal educational requirement to work as a field archaeologist is a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major in anthropology or archaeology and previous field experience (usually obtained by spending a summer in an archaeological field school or participating as a volunteer, see question 5). While this is sufficient to work on an archaeological field crew, it is not sufficient to move into supervisory roles. Supervisory positions require a graduate degree, either an M.A./M.S. or a Ph.D. Academic Positions Museum Positions . Museums may be connected with a university or independent. Museum curators conduct research, publish the results, give public presentations, prepare displays, and conserve the museum collections. Museum positions require a graduate degree (M.A./M.S. or Ph.D.). Museum positions are usually full-year appointments.

    Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Processual archaeology (formerly the New Archaeology ) is a form of archaeological theory which arguably had its genesis in 1958 with Willey and Phillips' work, Method and Theory in American Archeology in which the pair stated that "American archaeology is anthropology or it is nothing" (Willey and Phillips, 1958:2), a rephrasing of Frederic William Maitland 's comment that "[m]y own belief is that by and by anthropology will have the choice between being history and being nothing." This idea implied that the goals of archaeology were, in fact, the goals of anthropology , which were to answer questions about humans and human society. This was a critique of the former period in archaeology, the Culture-Historical phase in which archaeologists thought that any information which artifacts contained about past people and past ways of life was lost once the items became included in the archaeological record. All they felt could be done was to catalogue, describe, and create timelines based on the artifacts. Proponents of this new phase in archaeology claimed that with the rigorous use of the scientific method it was possible to get past the limits of the archaeological record and learn something about how the people who used the artifacts lived. Processual archaeology later, in the 1980s, gave birth to a new movement in the world of archaeology, namely

34. The CSA CAD Guide For Archaeologists And Architectural Historians
    From the Center for the Study of Architecture.

    Extractions: Three, no changes of any kind are made to the text. Important notice: The CSA web site was re-designed in August of 2010. Some documents then available were considered complete and static; so they were not included in the re-design and were not updated. This is one of those documents. Information about dates of posting and revision remains here, but there will be no revision of any kind after August, 2010. Preface This guide was written in cooperation with the Archaeology Data Service in England. At a point in the editing process, there began to be two separate versions, an ADS version, which is part of the Guide to Good Practice series and includes contributions by various authors, and this CSA version, which benefits from some early comments from Jeremy Huggett and preliminary editing by Kate Fernie but is otherwise the responsibility of Harrison Eiteljorg, II. The CSA version was subsequently altered further to apply only to archaeology and architectural history; the ADS Guide is intended to apply to a broader set of disciplines. I must also make clear the contributions of Susan C. Jones, my CSA colleague, to this work. Her assistance has been critical, not only as a reader and an editor, but as critic when appropriate and as collaborator on many occasions. Susan has pointed out inconsistencies, discussions that were too short and summary, and important omissions. This work is much better because of her assistance.

Some goals include the documentation and explanation of the origins and development of human cultures , understanding culture history, chronicling cultural evolution , and studying human behaviour and ecology , for both prehistoric and historic societies. Archaeologists are also concerned with the study of methods used in the discipline, and the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings underlying the questions archaeologists ask of the past. The tasks of surveying areas in order to find new sites, excavating sites in order to recover cultural remains, classification, analysis, and preservation are all important phases of the archaeological process. These are all important sources of information. Given the broad scope of the discipline there is a great deal of cross-disciplinary research in archaeology. It draws upon anthropology history art history

    Extractions: What is Aristarchos? Aristarchos is a freeware program that allows the user to search for abbreviations commonly used for periodicals, series and monographs in archaeology. Why Aristarchos? I started Aristarchos because I found so many incomprehensible abbreviations in archaeological articles or essays I have read. While there are lists published in every issue of Arch�ologische Bibliographie and the Ann�e Philologique, these lists are incomplete and sometimes contradictory. Lists published in Ann�e Philologique show almost only the abbreviations used in that issue; the lists of the Arch�ologishe Bibliographie, even though complete, sometimes conflict with those used in the Dyabola or in the issues of the Jahrbuch des Deutschen Arch�ologischen Instituts. In addition, searching through these lists is time-consuming and distracting.
