Archaeological site

Good morning Ms Lewis and class, today I’ll be speaking to you about Pompeii. Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in the southern Italy’s Campanian region which was home to about 20,000 people. It was both a busy port and an important centre for business. Once a striving and sophisticated Roman city, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed the city, killing its inhabitants and burying it under tons of ash. The economy of Pompeii was based primarily on two factors: the endless lushness

Snaketown Archaeological Site In the 1930s, Hohokam archaeology was in its infancy. The research organization known as Gila Pueblo chose the prehistoric village of Snaketown as the site for excavation. It would represent Hohokam culture history because the site Snaketown lies in the approximate center of the Hohokam area and had not been altered by pseudo-archaeologists or vandals. (Gladwin, 6) However, Snaketown also boasted massive mounds, an easily distinct canal, and an immense ball court, characteristics

has created amazing archaeological finds. As man followed their food, they created new weapons to hunt, found new ways to gather and process wild foods, while reaching out create artistic endeavors for pleasure, for celebration, and for use. From the glacial push of the Pleistocene to the fog meadows of South America, humans have adapted to their environment, and over time they have adapted their environment to their needs. I will discuss my ten favorite archaeological sites and why I feel they are

The Historic Spanish Point is the earliest Archaeological site to be listed in the national Register of Historic places and offers excellent leisurely walking tours to numerous visitors who regularly tour this site all year round. There exists an archaeological record that encompasses about 5,000 years of Florida prehistory.

The site of Caesarea Maritima contains many unique challenges for archaeological excavations. In spite of this, through pottery analysis, archaeologists are able to learn about different aspects of the site. Nonetheless, Caesarea Maritima has a variety of specific challenges associated with it for archaeologists. Not only does it cover a significant section of the coastal region, but the immense harbour, over time, has been completely submerged in the sea. Along with geographical challenges, there

archaeologists. Studying the lithic material from a site can seem tedious and dull, but the information that can be gleaned from it is invaluable. The type of lithic material can provide insight into the lifestyle, tool production, trading habits, and a possible time period of habitation. We aimed to discover some of this information from the items recovered during the two weeks of excavation at the East Carolina University Summer Ventures Archaeological Field Methods class.

Kelsi-Aryn Mascola Dr. Kaiser 0552074 Monday December 6th 2015 A Current Comparative Archaeological Synthesis of Stonehenge and Ale’s Stones Site The Bronze age of Scandinavia, taking place from 1750-500 BC, is characterized by the start of bedrock carvings of huge ships, the large sudden spread of amber in Mycenaean graves, and appearance of bronze (Morner and Lind 2015). The early Scandinavian and Baltic region practiced an early burial structure that was shaped as a ship, or ship setting, using

conservation and protection of the archaeological record (SAA 1, AIA 1, RPA 1.1-e). The buying and selling of objects out of archaeological context is contributing to the destruction of the archaeological record around the world, and these items should not be traded, sold, bought, or bartered as commercial goods (SAA 3, SHA 6, AIA 2, RPA 1.2-e). Within reasonable time, the knowledge archaeologists gain

How are artifacts, ecofacts, or features analyzed? Discuss the process of finding, categorizing, and interpreting an archaeological site. Describe at least two analytical methods (in detail) used by archaeologists to interpret archaeological data. While most sites are found by accident, many sites were carefully selected through surveys. By utilizing remote sensing technology, tools that allow us to see what the naked eye cannot through mapping around the area, we are able to detect things such

Tourism can be one of the most destructive forces facing archaeological sites and their conservators. Tourists can cause damage by disregarding signs prohibiting touching or littering. Parts of sites may need to be manipulated or even destroyed to allow for visitor access. Striking a balance between allowing the public to interact with a site and preserving it is very difficult. Some sites, like Bet She’an in Israel, give tourists the freedom to touch monuments and even climb onto them to give
