Processual archaeology is the archaeological theory brought to attention by Gorden Willey and Philip Phillips in the 1960s

Another particular contribution of Ian Hodder to the development of archaeological thought can be considered the development of ‘reflexive archaeology’ and reflexive methods in archaeological excavation. The details of what constitutes reflexive excavation methodology are based on overcoming the gap between theory and practice by incorporating extensive interpretation during excavation (Hodder 1997, 693).

Traditionally, Egyptian animal mummies have been classified by function based on their archaeological con-text, with cats placed into three major groups: sacred, votive, and pet.

This major beginning of the Islamic era is called the Hijrah which roughly translated as “Flight.” In Medina, Muhammad continued to receive revelations and an ever-expanding community around the new faith. The conflict with the Quraish continued but after several violent years of battle, Mecca surrendered.

Throughout this period in the Unite States, the preservation movement developed into a network of National Parks throughout the country, in addition to laying down the groundwork for the conception of preservation to be adapted within other fields.

The experience itself is a minimalized fraction of what Moses experienced when meeting with God face-to-face, standing in the presence of the holiest of holies, sealing Mt.

The 1960s, however, brought a tumultuous era in American history with the onset of the full force of the Civil Rights Movement. Indigenous people in the United States took advantage of tidal wave of newly formed activist groups with the creation of the American Indian Movement (AIM) (Mayes 2010). Members of AIM attempted to regain control of Native American resources, including human remains and religious artifacts. Other organizations such as the
