Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The archaeological sequence or sequence for short, on a specific archaeological site can be defined on two levels of rigour. Normally it is adequate to equate it to archaeological record . However, the two terms are not exactly interchangeable. The term Archaeological record is broader in its meaning and can be applied to Artifact archaeology artifacts and other evidence such as Biofact archaeology Biofact s and Manuport s as well as to the stratigraphy of a site. Also, the terms Archaeological sequence and Archaeological stratigraphy are closely related and somewhat interchangeable. These colloquial uses of the term are normal in conversation but The term sequence when narrowly defined, and used in a serious piece of writing, refers to the stratigraphy of a given site or any discrete part of the archaeological record as revealed by Stratification archaeology stratification . It is a succession of Archaeological context s, such that the relationships between them create the sequence chronologically by virtue of their stratigraphic Relationship archaeology relationships . In other words, the events causing the stratigraphic contexts to be deposited happened one after another, in an order which can be determined from study of the several archaeological context contexts . It is this sequence of events which is the archaeological sequence .

Association in archaeology has more than one meaning. Finds and objects Associated finds or objects refers to a close relationship between two or more objects. Associated objects that can be proved to have been deposited at the same time, through being in the same Archaeological context context , form a genuine or close association. Objects that can only be theorised as being deposited together, either because they were not excavated properly, their excavation archaeology excavation records are lost or because they come from different contexts that are in stratigraphically definable phases or groups in association with the original context, are said to be in open association . Finds in association are known as an assemblage archaeology assemblage and are much more useful than individual ones as greater precision can be assigned to their function, date and provenance . Contexts and features Associated contexts are contexts that are shown by virtue of stratigraphic relationships to be near contemporaneous. An example would be a wall context and its associated floor context. This association would bring about the construction in interpretation of Archaeological phase phase where associated contexts are shown to be part of the same period of occupation. In the case of the wall and the floor we can say that the floor was in use at the same time the wall was standing. Associations of contexts can be far more complex and tricky to establish. Interpretive tools such as the Harris matrix and stratification archeology stratification are instrumental in deducing the associations of contexts on site and by deduction the function of archaeological remains.

The term is used to denote a series of stratigraphic relationships that form an archaeological phase , or are part of the process of determining the archaeological phases of a site. An archaeological horizon can be understood as a break in contexts formed in the Harris matrix , which denotes a change in epoch on a given site by delineation in time of finds found within Archaeological context context s.

Archaeological ethics refers to a number of moral issues raised through the study of the material past. In common with other academic disciplines, archaeologists are bound to conduct their investigations to a high standard and observe intellectual property laws, Health and Safety regulations and other legal obligations. Professional bodies in the field require that their members work towards the preservation and management of archaeological resources, treat human remains with dignity and also usually encourage outreach activities. Where these bodies exist, sanctions are in place for those professionals who do not observe these ethical codes. By no means all jurisdictions have such professional bodies however and even where they do exist, membership may not be necessary in order to carry out archaeological investigations. While such considerations are fundamental to a pursuit, they are unfortunately coming rather late to the field. Questions regarding ethics have only arisen since the UNESCO ... ethical questions regarding the ownership of archaeological artefacts.

Archaeological forgery is the manufacture of supposedly ancient items that are sold to the antiquities market and may even end up in the collections of museums. It is related to art forgery . A string of archeological forgeries have usually followed news of prominent Excavation archaeology archaeological excavation s. Historically, famous excavations like those in Crete , Valley of the Kings in Egypt and Pompeii have caused the appearance of a number of forgeries supposedly spirited away from the dig. Those have been usually presented in the open market but some have also ended up in museum collections and as objects of serious historical study. In recent times, forgeries of pre Columbian pottery from the South America have been very common. Other popular examples include Ancient Egyptian earthenware and supposed ancient Greek gold. There have also been paleontological forgeries like archaeoraptor . Motivations Most of the archaeological forgery is made for reasons similar to art forgery for money. The monetary value of an item that is thought to be thousands of years old is higher than the similar one sold as a souvenir. However, archaeological or paleontological forgers may have other motives they may try to manufacture proof for their point of view, favorite theory or to gain increased fame and prestige for themselves. If that is to create proof for religious history, it is pious fraud . Detection Investigators of archaeological forgery rely on the tools of archaeology in general.
