  1. Subdiscipline devoted to the study of archaeological remains submerged under seas, lakes, or rivers
  2. Exposure, processing and recording of archaeological remains
  3. A methodological concept according to which artefacts and events of late prehistory and early history could be broadly ordered into a recognizable chronology (Stone, Bronze, and Iron Age)
  4. A wall of earth left inplace between excavated areas in order to maintain the structural integrity of the trench and/or expose a section to aid in interpretation
  5. A broad term covering a number of geological dating schemes based on the measurement of the natural radioactivity of uranium isotopes within the artefact
  6. Loose sediment excavated from a trench
  7. Artificial changes in land level, typically made from piles of artificially placed or sculpted rocks and soil
  8. The use of sieves, screens, and meshes to improve recovery rate of artefacts from excavated sediments
  9. A Person engaged in the study of archaeology
  10. A view of the archaeological sequence showing it in the vertical plane
  11. The academic Discipline concerned with the study of the human past through material remains
  12. Ascertaining the age of an object with reference to a fixed and specific time scale
  13. A fragment of pottery
  14. The science of determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age
  15. Radiocarbon Dating
  16. Pottery vessel in which cremated remains were placed for interment
  17. Features, artefacts and other remains in their original depositional context
  18. Archaeological investigations taking place in the field
  19. The classification of objects according to their physical characteristics
  20. Information relating to where an artefact or feature was found and what it was found in association with
  21. A method of archaeological evaluation used to estimate the archaeological potential of a site
  22. About
  23. The application of geology and other earth science techniques to archaeology
  24. Absolute dating technique used to determine the age of organic materials less than 50,000 Years old. Age is determined by examining the loss of unstable carbon-14 isotope, which is absorbed by all living organisms during their lifespan
  25. Potassium-argon dating; a radiometric dating method useful for samples older than 100,000 years
  26. A dating convention Before Present; "present indicates c.1950. Used quite often for radiocarbon dating
  27. Archaeological investigations conducted from the air
  28. Microscopic traces of wear, damage or residue left on the surface of an artefact from use
  29. A physical object made by humans
  30. A rule of archaeology meaning the top layer of any archaeological site is the newest, and the lowest is the most ancient
  31. A form of radioactive dating used to determine the thermal age of artefacts that contain uranium-bearing materials (Effective on glass and stones)
  32. Sometimes called digging by quadrant, procedure for excavating discrete features where two diagonally opposite quadrants are removed, resulting in two complete cross-sections of a feature
  33. Subdiscipline devoted to the analysis of animal remains in the archaeological record
  34. Moral principles that govern a person's behaviour or the conducting of an activity
