However, it was <a href="Jacob_Spon" title="Jacob Spon">Jacob Spon</a> who, in 1685, offered one of the earliest definitions of <i>"archaeologia"</i> to describe the study of antiquities in which he was engaged, in the preface of a collection of <a href="Epigraphy" title="Epigraphy">transcriptions of Roman inscriptions</a> which he had gleaned over the years of his travels, entitled <i>Miscellanea eruditae antiquitatis.</i>

</p><p>One of the major achievements of 19th-century archaeology was the development of <a href="Stratigraphy" title="Stratigraphy">stratigraphy</a>. The idea of overlapping strata tracing back to successive periods was borrowed from the new <a href="Geology" title="Geology">geological</a> and <a href="Palaeontology" class="mw-redirect" title="Palaeontology">palaeontological</a> work of scholars like <a href="William_Smith_(geologist)" title="William Smith (geologist)">William Smith</a>, <a href="James_Hutton" title="James Hutton">James Hutton</a> and <a href="Charles_Lyell" title="Charles Lyell">Charles Lyell</a>. The systematic application of stratigraphy to archaeology first took place with the excavations of <a href="Prehistory" title="Prehistory">prehistorical</a> and <a href="Bronze_Age" title="Bronze Age">Bronze Age</a> sites.

Highly methodical by the standards of the time, he is widely regarded as the first scientific archaeologist. He <a href="Pitt_Rivers_Museum" title="Pitt Rivers Museum">arranged his artifacts</a> by type or "<a href="Typology_(archaeology)" title="Typology (archaeology)">Typology (archaeology)</a>", and within types chronologically.

</p>

<p><a href="William_Flinders_Petrie" class="mw-redirect" title="William Flinders Petrie">William Flinders Petrie</a> is another man who may legitimately be called the Father of Archaeology. His painstaking recording and study of artifacts, both in Egypt and later in <a href="Palestine_(region)" title="Palestine (region)">Palestine</a>, laid down many of the ideas behind modern archaeological recording; he remarked that "I believe the true line of research lies in the noting and comparison of the smallest details."

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Purpose">Purpose</h2></div>

<p>The purpose of archaeology is to learn more about past societies and the development of the <a href="Human" title="Human">human</a> race. Over 99% of the development of humanity has occurred within prehistoric cultures, who did not make use of <a href="Literacy" title="Literacy">writing</a>, thereby no written records exist for study purposes. Without such written sources, the only way to understand prehistoric societies is through archaeology. Because archaeology is the study of past human activity, it stretches back to about 2.5&nbsp;million years ago when the first <a href="Stone_Age" title="Stone Age">stone tools</a> are found – <a href="Oldowan" title="Oldowan">The Oldowan Industry</a>. Many important developments in human history occurred during prehistory, such as the <a href="Human_evolution" title="Human evolution">evolution of humanity</a> during the <a href="Paleolithic" title="Paleolithic">Paleolithic</a> period, when the <a href="Hominin" class="mw-redirect" title="Hominin">hominins</a> developed from the <a href="Australopithecines" class="mw-redirect" title="Australopithecines">australopithecines</a> in <a href="Africa" title="Africa">Africa</a> and eventually into modern <i><a href="Homo_sapiens" class="mw-redirect" title="Homo sapiens">Homo sapiens</a></i>. Archaeology also sheds light on many of humanity's technological advances, for instance the ability to use fire, the development of <a href="Stone_tool" title="Stone tool">stone tools</a>, the discovery of <a href="Metallurgy" title="Metallurgy">metallurgy</a>, the beginnings of <a href="Religion" title="Religion">religion</a> and the creation of <a href="Agriculture" title="Agriculture">agriculture</a>. Without archaeology, little or nothing would be known about the use of material culture by humanity that pre-dates writing.<sup id="cite_ref-ncl_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ncl-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>However, it is not only prehistoric, pre-literate cultures that can be studied using archaeology but historic, literate cultures as well, through the sub-discipline of <a href="Historical_archaeology" title="Historical archaeology">historical archaeology</a>. For many literate cultures, such as <a href="Ancient_Greece" title="Ancient Greece">Ancient Greece</a> and <a href="Mesopotamia" title="Mesopotamia">Mesopotamia</a>, their surviving records are often incomplete and biased to some extent. In many societies, literacy was restricted to the <a href="Elite" title="Elite">elite</a> classes, such as the <a href="Clergy" title="Clergy">clergy</a>, or the <a href="Bureaucracy" title="Bureaucracy">bureaucracy</a> of court or temple. The literacy of <a href="Aristocracy" title="Aristocracy">aristocrats</a> has sometimes been restricted to deeds and contracts. The interests and world-view of elites are often quite different from the lives and interests of the populace. Writings that were produced by people more representative of the general population were unlikely to find their way into <a href="Library" title="Library">libraries</a> and be preserved there for posterity. Thus, written records tend to reflect the biases, assumptions, cultural values and possibly deceptions of a limited range of individuals, usually a small fraction of the larger population. Hence, written records cannot be trusted as a sole source. The material record may be closer to a fair representation of society, though it is subject to its own biases, such as <a href="Sampling_bias" title="Sampling bias">sampling bias</a> and differential preservation.<sup id="cite_ref-archaeological_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-archaeological-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Often, archaeology provides the only means to learn of the existence and behaviors of people of the past. Across the millennia many thousands of cultures and societies and billions of people have come and gone of which there is little or no written record or existing records are misrepresentative or incomplete. Writing as it is known today did not exist in human civilization until the 4th&nbsp;millennium BC, in a relatively small number of technologically advanced civilizations. In contrast, <i>Homo sapiens</i> has existed for at least 200,000&nbsp;years, and other species of <i>Homo</i> for millions of years (see <a href="Human_evolution" title="Human evolution">Human evolution</a>). These civilizations are, not coincidentally, the best-known; they are open to the inquiry of historians for centuries, while the study of pre-historic cultures has arisen only recently. Within a literate civilization many events and important human practices may not be officially recorded. Any knowledge of the early years of human civilization – the development of agriculture, cult practices of folk religion, the rise of the first cities – must come from archaeology.
</p><p>In addition to their scientific importance, archaeological remains sometimes have political or cultural significance to descendants of the people who produced them, monetary value to collectors, or strong aesthetic appeal. Many people identify archaeology with the recovery of such aesthetic, religious, political, or economic treasures rather than with the reconstruction of past societies.
</p><p>This view is often espoused in works of popular fiction, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Mummy, and King Solomon's Mines. When unrealistic subjects are treated more seriously, accusations of pseudoscience are invariably levelled at their proponents <i>(see <a href="Pseudoarchaeology" title="Pseudoarchaeology">Pseudoarchaeology</a>)</i>. However, these endeavours, real and fictional, are not representative of modern archaeology.

<p>An archaeological investigation usually involves several distinct phases, each of which employs its own variety of methods.

Second, an excavation may take place to uncover any archaeological features buried under the ground.

<p>Before actually starting to dig in a location, <a href="Remote_sensing_(archaeology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Remote sensing (archaeology)">remote sensing</a> can be used to look where sites are located within a large area or provide more information about sites or regions. There are two types of remote sensing instruments—passive and active. Passive instruments detect natural energy that is reflected or emitted from the observed scene. Passive instruments sense only radiation emitted by the object being viewed or reflected by the object from a source other than the instrument. Active instruments emit energy and record what is reflected. <a href="Satellite_imagery" title="Satellite imagery">Satellite imagery</a> is an example of passive remote sensing. Here are two active remote sensing instruments:
</p>
<ul><li><b>Lidar</b>: <a href="Lidar" title="Lidar">Lidar</a> (light detection and ranging) uses a laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to transmit a light pulse and a receiver with sensitive detectors to measure the backscattered or reflected light. Distance to the object is determined by recording the time between the transmitted and backscattered pulses and using the speed of light to calculate the distance travelled. Lidars can determine atmospheric profiles of aerosols, clouds, and other constituents of the atmosphere.</li>
<li><b>Laser altimeter</b>: A laser altimeter uses a lidar (see above) to measure the height of the instrument platform above the surface. By independently knowing the height of the platform with respect to the mean Earth's surface, the topography of the underlying surface can be determined.<sup id="cite_ref-70" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-70"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>69<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li><b>Drones</b>: Archaeologists around the world use <a href="Unmanned_aerial_vehicle" title="Unmanned aerial vehicle">drones</a> to speed up survey work and protect sites from squatters, builders and miners. In Peru, small drones helped researchers produce three-dimensional models of Peruvian sites instead of the usual flat maps – and in days and weeks instead of months and years.<sup id="cite_ref-peru_71-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-peru-71"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>70<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Drones costing as little as £650 have proven useful. In 2013, drones have flown over at least six Peruvian archaeological sites, including the colonial Andean town Machu Llacta 4,000 metres (13,000&nbsp;ft) above sea level.

<p>The archaeological project then continues (or alternatively, begins) with a field survey. Regional survey is the attempt to systematically locate previously unknown sites in a region. Site survey is the attempt to systematically locate features of interest, such as houses and <a href="Midden" title="Midden">middens</a>, within a site. Each of these two goals may be accomplished with largely the same methods.
</p><p>Survey was not widely practised in the early days of archaeology. Cultural historians and prior researchers were usually content with discovering the locations of monumental sites from the local populace, and excavating only the plainly visible <a href="Feature_(archaeology)" title="Feature (archaeology)">features</a> there. <a href="Gordon_Willey" title="Gordon Willey">Gordon Willey</a> pioneered the technique of regional settlement pattern survey in 1949 in the <a href="Viru_Valley" title="Viru Valley">Viru Valley</a> of coastal <a href="Peru" title="Peru">Peru</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-Willey1953_73-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Willey1953-73"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>72<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Willey1968_74-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Willey1968-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>73<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and survey of all levels became prominent with the rise of processual archaeology some years later.<sup id="cite_ref-Billmand_Feinman1999_75-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Billmand_Feinman1999-75"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Survey work has many benefits if performed as a preliminary exercise to, or even in place of, excavation. It requires relatively little time and expense, because it does not require processing large volumes of soil to search out artifacts. (Nevertheless, surveying a large region or site can be expensive, so archaeologists often employ <a href="Sampling_(statistics)" title="Sampling (statistics)">sampling</a> methods.)<sup id="cite_ref-Redman1974_76-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Redman1974-76"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As with other forms of non-destructive archaeology, survey avoids ethical issues (of particular concern to descendant peoples) associated with destroying a site through excavation. It is the only way to gather some forms of information, such as <a href="Human_settlement" title="Human settlement">settlement patterns</a> and settlement structure. Survey data are commonly assembled into <a href="Map" title="Map">maps</a>, which may show surface features and/or artifact distribution.
</p>

<p>The simplest survey technique is surface survey. It involves combing an area, usually on foot but sometimes with the use of mechanized transport, to search for features or artifacts visible on the surface. Surface survey cannot detect sites or features that are completely buried under earth, or overgrown with vegetation. Surface survey may also include mini-excavation techniques such as <a href="Auger_(drill)" class="mw-redirect" title="Auger (drill)">augers</a>, corers, and <a href="Shovel_test" class="mw-redirect" title="Shovel test">shovel test</a> pits. If no materials are found, the area surveyed is deemed <a href="Sterile_deposit" class="mw-redirect" title="Sterile deposit">sterile</a>.
</p>

<p><a href="Aerial_survey" title="Aerial survey">Aerial survey</a> is conducted using <a href="Camera" title="Camera">cameras</a> attached to <a href="Airplane" title="Airplane">airplanes</a>, <a href="Balloon_(aircraft)" class="mw-redirect" title="Balloon (aircraft)">balloons</a>, <a href="UAVs" class="mw-redirect" title="UAVs">UAVs</a>, or even <a href="Kite" title="Kite">Kites</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-77" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-77"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>76<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A bird's-eye view is useful for quick mapping of large or complex sites. Aerial photographs are used to document the status of the archaeological dig. Aerial imaging can also detect many things not visible from the surface. <a href="Plant" title="Plant">Plants</a> growing above a buried human-made structure, such as a stone wall, will develop more slowly, while those above other types of features (such as <a href="Midden" title="Midden">middens</a>) may develop more rapidly.

</p><p><a href="Geophysical_survey_(archaeology)" title="Geophysical survey (archaeology)">Geophysical survey</a> can be the most effective way to see beneath the ground. <a href="Magnetometer" title="Magnetometer">Magnetometers</a> detect minute deviations in the <a href="Earth's_magnetic_field" title="Earth's magnetic field">Earth's magnetic field</a> caused by <a href="Iron" title="Iron">iron</a> artifacts, <a href="Kiln" title="Kiln">kilns</a>, some types of <a href="Stone_structures" class="mw-redirect" title="Stone structures">stone structures</a>, and even ditches and middens. Devices that measure the <a href="Electrical_resistivity" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrical resistivity">electrical resistivity</a> of the soil are also widely used. Archaeological features whose electrical resistivity contrasts with that of surrounding soils can be detected and mapped. Some archaeological features (such as those composed of stone or brick) have higher resistivity than typical soils, while others (such as organic deposits or unfired clay) tend to have lower resistivity.
</p><p>Although some archaeologists consider the use of <a href="Metal_detector" title="Metal detector">metal detectors</a> to be tantamount to treasure hunting, others deem them an effective tool in archaeological surveying.<sup id="cite_ref-79" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-79"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>78<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Examples of formal archaeological use of metal detectors include musketball distribution analysis on <a href="English_Civil_War" title="English Civil War">English Civil War</a> battlefields, metal distribution analysis prior to excavation of a 19th-century ship wreck, and service cable location during evaluation.

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="Archaeological_excavation" title="Archaeological excavation">Archaeological excavation</a></div>




<p>Archaeological excavation existed even when the field was still the domain of amateurs, and it remains the source of the majority of data recovered in most field projects. It can reveal several types of information usually not accessible to survey, such as <a href="Stratigraphy" title="Stratigraphy">stratigraphy</a>, three-dimensional structure, and verifiably primary context.
</p><p>Modern excavation techniques require that the precise locations of objects and features, known as their <a href="Provenance" title="Provenance">provenance</a> or provenience, be recorded. This always involves determining their horizontal locations, and sometimes vertical position as well (also see <a href="Harris_matrix#Harris'_laws_of_archaeological_stratigraphy" title="Harris matrix">Primary Laws of Archaeology</a>). Likewise, their <a href="Archaeological_association" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological association">association</a>, or <a href="Relationship_(archaeology)" title="Relationship (archaeology)">relationship</a> with nearby objects and <a href="Feature_(archaeology)" title="Feature (archaeology)">features</a>, needs to be recorded for later analysis. This allows the archaeologist to deduce which <a href="Artifact_(archaeology)" title="Artifact (archaeology)">artifacts</a> and features were likely used together and which may be from different <a href="Archaeological_phase" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological phase">phases</a> of activity. For example, excavation of a site reveals its stratigraphy; if a site was occupied by a succession of distinct cultures, artifacts from more recent cultures will lie above those from more ancient cultures.
</p><p>Excavation is the most expensive phase of archaeological research, in relative terms. Also, as a destructive process, it carries <a href="Ethics" title="Ethics">ethical</a> concerns. As a result, very few sites are excavated in their entirety. Again the percentage of a site excavated depends greatly on the country and "method statement" issued. <a href="Sampling_(statistics)" title="Sampling (statistics)">Sampling</a> is even more important in excavation than in survey. Sometimes large mechanical equipment, such as <a href="Backhoe" title="Backhoe">backhoes</a> (<a href="J._C._Bamford" class="mw-redirect" title="J. C. Bamford">JCBs</a>), is used in excavation, especially to remove the <a href="Topsoil" title="Topsoil">topsoil</a> (<a href="Overburden" title="Overburden">overburden</a>), though this method is increasingly used with great caution. Following this rather dramatic step, the exposed area is usually hand-cleaned with <a href="Trowel" title="Trowel">trowels</a> or <a href="Hoe_(tool)" title="Hoe (tool)">hoes</a> to ensure that all features are apparent.
</p>

<p>The next task is to form a <a href="Archaeological_plan" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological plan">site plan</a> and then use it to help decide the method of excavation. Features dug into the <a href="Archaeological_natural" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological natural">natural subsoil</a> are normally excavated in portions to produce a visible <a href="Archaeological_section" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological section">archaeological section</a> for recording. A feature, for example a pit or a ditch, consists of two parts: the <a href="Cut_(archaeology)" title="Cut (archaeology)">cut</a> and the <a href="Fill_(archaeology)" title="Fill (archaeology)">fill</a>. The cut describes the edge of the feature, where the feature meets the natural soil. It is the feature's boundary. The fill is what the feature is filled with, and will often appear quite distinct from the natural soil. The cut and fill are given consecutive numbers for recording purposes. Scaled plans and sections of individual features are all drawn on site, black and white and colour photographs of them are taken, and <a href="Single_context_recording" title="Single context recording">recording</a> sheets are filled in describing the <a href="Archaeological_context" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological context">context</a> of each. All this information serves as a permanent record of the now-destroyed archaeology and is used in describing and interpreting the site.

<p>Archaeology can be a subsidiary activity within Cultural resource management (CRM), also called <a href="Cultural_heritage_management" title="Cultural heritage management">Cultural heritage management</a> (CHM) in the UK.<sup id="cite_ref-The_University_of_Exeter_–_SoGAER_–_Department_of_Archaeology_104-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_University_of_Exeter_–_SoGAER_–_Department_of_Archaeology-104"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>103<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> CRM archaeologists frequently examine archaeological sites threatened by development. CRM accounts for most archaeological research done in the US and much of that in <a href="Western_Europe" title="Western Europe">western Europe</a>. In the US, CRM archaeology has been a growing concern since the passage of the <a href="National_Historic_Preservation_Act" title="National Historic Preservation Act">National Historic Preservation Act</a> (NHPA) of 1966. Most scholars and politicians believe CRM has helped preserve much of the US' history and prehistory that would have otherwise been lost in the expansion of cities, dams, and highways. Along with other statutes, the NHPA mandates that projects on federal land, or involving federal funds or permits, consider the effects of the project on each <a href="Archaeological_site" title="Archaeological site">archaeological site</a>.

As a result, archaeological organizations undertake mitigation work in advance of, or during, construction work in archaeologically sensitive areas, at the <a href="Polluter_pays_principle" title="Polluter pays principle">developer's expense</a>. Some of the largest archaeological projects ever undertaken in the UK are due to major infrastructure projects like the <a href="A14_road_(England)" title="A14 road (England)">A14</a> road improvement scheme, or the building of <a href="HS2" class="mw-redirect" title="HS2">HS2</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-106" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-106"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>105<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-107" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-107"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>106<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

In France, the <a href="Institut_national_du_patrimoine" title="Institut national du patrimoine">Institut national du patrimoine</a> (The National Institute of Cultural Heritage) trains <a href="Curator" title="Curator">curators</a> specialized in archaeology.

</p><p>Among the goals of CRM are the identification, preservation, and maintenance of <a href="Cultural" class="mw-redirect" title="Cultural">cultural</a> sites on public and private lands, and the removal of culturally valuable materials from areas where they would otherwise be destroyed by human activity, such as proposed construction. This study involves an examination to determine whether significant archaeological sites are present in the area affected by the proposed construction. If these do exist, time and money must be allotted for their excavation. If initial survey and/or test excavations indicate the presence of an extraordinarily valuable site, the construction may be prohibited entirely.
</p><p>Cultural resources management has been criticized. CRM is conducted by private companies that bid for projects by submitting proposals outlining the work to be done and expected budget. The agency responsible for the construction often chooses the proposal that asks for the least funding. CRM archaeologists face time pressure, often being forced to complete their work in much less time that might be allotted for a solely academic project. Compounding the time pressure is the vetting process of site reports that are required to be submitted by CRM firms to the appropriate <a href="State_Historic_Preservation_Office" title="State Historic Preservation Office">State Historic Preservation Office</a> (SHPO). From the SHPO's perspective there is no difference between a report submitted by a CRM firm operating under tight deadline, and a multi-year academic project.
</p><p>The ratio of open academic archaeology positions to the number of archaeology MA/MSc and PhD students is high.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Popular_views_of_archaeology">Popular views of archaeology</h2></div>


<p>Early archaeology was largely an attempt to uncover spectacular artifacts and features, or to explore vast and mysterious abandoned cities and was mostly done by upper class, scholarly men. This general tendency laid the foundation for the modern popular view of archaeology and archaeologists. Many of the public view archaeology as something only available to a narrow demographic. The job of archaeologist is depicted as a "romantic adventurist occupation",<sup id="cite_ref-McGeough_2006_174–185_121-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McGeough_2006_174–185-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>120<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and as a hobby more than a job in the scientific community. Cinema audiences form a notion of "who archaeologists are, why they do what they do, and how relationships to the past are constituted",<sup id="cite_ref-McGeough_2006_174–185_121-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McGeough_2006_174–185-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>120<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and is often under the impression that all archaeology takes place in a distant and foreign land, only to collect monetarily or spiritually priceless artifacts. The modern depiction of archaeology has incorrectly formed the public's perception of what archaeology is.
</p><p>Much thorough and productive research has indeed been conducted in dramatic locales such as <a href="Cop%C3%A1n" title="Copán">Copán</a> and the <a href="Valley_of_the_Kings" title="Valley of the Kings">Valley of the Kings</a>, but the bulk of activities and finds of modern archaeology are not so sensational. Archaeological adventure stories tend to ignore the painstaking work involved in carrying out modern surveys, <a href="Excavation_(archaeology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Excavation (archaeology)">excavations</a>, and data processing. Some archaeologists refer to such off-the-mark portrayals as "pseudoarchaeology".<sup id="cite_ref-Romancing_the_Past-Archaeology_122-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Romancing_the_Past-Archaeology-122"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>121<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Motivated by a desire to halt looting, curb pseudoarchaeology, and to help preserve archaeological sites through education and fostering public appreciation for the importance of archaeological heritage, archaeologists are mounting public-outreach campaigns.<sup id="cite_ref-Anthropological_Studies_Center_(ASC)_124-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Anthropological_Studies_Center_(ASC)-124"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>123<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They seek to stop looting by combatting people who illegally take artifacts from protected sites, and by alerting people who live near archaeological sites of the threat of looting. Common methods of public outreach include press releases, the encouragement of school field trips to sites under excavation by professional archaeologists, and making reports and publications accessible outside of academia.<sup id="cite_ref-125" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-125"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>124<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-126" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-126"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>125<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Public appreciation of the significance of archaeology and archaeological sites often leads to improved protection from encroaching development or other threats.
</p><p>One audience for archaeologists' work is the public. Archaeologists increasingly realize that their work can benefit non-academic and non-archaeological audiences, and that they have a responsibility to educate and inform the public about archaeology. Local heritage awareness is aimed at increasing civic and individual pride through projects such as community excavation projects, and better public presentations of archaeological sites and knowledge. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, <a href="US_Forest_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="US Forest Service">Forest Service</a> (USFS) operates a volunteer archaeology and historic preservation program called the Passport in Time (PIT).

<p>In the United States, examples such as the case of <a href="Kennewick_Man" title="Kennewick Man">Kennewick Man</a> have illustrated the tensions between <a href="Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a> and archaeologists, which can be summarized as a conflict between a need to remain respectful toward sacred burial sites and the academic benefit from studying them. For years, American archaeologists dug on Indian burial grounds and other places considered sacred, removing artifacts and human remains to storage facilities for further study. In some cases human remains were not even thoroughly studied but instead archived rather than reburied. Furthermore, Western archaeologists' views of the past often differ from those of tribal peoples. The West views time as linear; for many natives, it is cyclic. From a Western perspective, the past is long-gone; from a native perspective, disturbing the past can have dire consequences in the present.
</p><p>As a consequence of this, American Indians attempted to prevent archaeological excavation of sites inhabited by their ancestors, while American archaeologists believed that the advancement of scientific knowledge was a valid reason to continue their studies. This contradictory situation was addressed by the <a href="Native_American_Graves_Protection_and_Repatriation_Act" title="Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act">Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act</a> (NAGPRA, 1990), which sought to reach a compromise by limiting the right of research institutions to possess human remains. Due in part to the spirit of <a href="Postprocessualism" class="mw-redirect" title="Postprocessualism">postprocessualism</a>, some archaeologists have begun to actively enlist the assistance of <a href="Indigenous_peoples" title="Indigenous peoples">indigenous peoples</a> likely to be descended from those under study.
</p><p>Archaeologists have also been obliged to re-examine what constitutes an archaeological site in view of what native peoples believe to constitute sacred space. To many native peoples, natural features such as lakes, mountains or even individual trees have cultural significance. Australian archaeologists especially have explored this issue and attempted to survey these sites to give them some protection from being developed. Such work requires close links and trust between archaeologists and the people they are trying to help and at the same time study.
</p><p>While this cooperation presents a new set of challenges and hurdles to fieldwork, it has benefits for all parties involved. Tribal elders cooperating with archaeologists can prevent the excavation of areas of sites that they consider sacred, while the archaeologists gain the elders' aid in interpreting their finds. There have also been active efforts to recruit aboriginal peoples directly into the archaeological profession.

<p>A new trend in the heated controversy between <a href="First_Nations_in_Canada" title="First Nations in Canada">First Nations</a> groups and scientists is the <a href="Repatriation" title="Repatriation">repatriation</a> of native artifacts to the original descendants. An example of this occurred on 21 June 2005, when community members and elders from a number of the 10 <a href="Algonquian_peoples" title="Algonquian peoples">Algonquian</a> nations in the <a href="Ottawa" title="Ottawa">Ottawa</a> area convened on the <a href="Kitigan_Zibi" title="Kitigan Zibi">Kitigan Zibi</a> reservation near <a href="Maniwaki%2C_Quebec" class="mw-redirect" title="Maniwaki, Quebec">Maniwaki, Quebec</a>, to inter ancestral human remains and burial goods—some dating back 6,000 years. It was not determined, however, if the remains were directly related to the <a href="Algonquin_people" title="Algonquin people">Algonquin people</a> who now inhabit the region. The remains may be of Iroquoian ancestry, since Iroquoian people inhabited the area before the Algonquin.

</p><p>The remains and artifacts, including <a href="Jewelry" class="mw-redirect" title="Jewelry">jewelry</a>, <a href="Tool" title="Tool">tools</a> and <a href="Weapons" class="mw-redirect" title="Weapons">weapons</a>, were originally excavated from various sites in the <a href="Ottawa_Valley" title="Ottawa Valley">Ottawa Valley</a>, including <a href="Morrison_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Morrison Island">Morrison</a> and the <a href="Allumette_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Allumette Island">Allumette Islands</a>.

These climate drivers will result in changes to flora and fauna, and changes in ground conditions (both on and below the surface) and so will also affect archaeological deposits and structures, while human responses to the climate crisis will also impact archaeological sites.
