Everything about the Archaeological Record totally explained
The
archaeological record is a term used in
archaeology to denote all
archaeological evidence, including the physical remains of past human activities which
archaeologists seek out and record in an attempt to analyze and reconstruct the past. In the main it denotes buried remains unearthed during
excavation.
The archaeological record on a specific
archaeological site is sometimes referred to as the
archaeological sequence, or sequence for short. However, the two terms are not exactly interchangeable as the term archaeological record is more global in its meaning and can be applied to
artifacts and other evidence such as
biofacts and
manuports and their
associated relationships, as well as the stratigraphy of a site; in contrast, the sequence really refers to the timeline, determined by
stratigraphy and/or
absolute dating methods.
Thus the archaeological record consists of both known and unknown archaeological sites, with material preserved in-situ; of conserved material such as artifacts in museums and collections as well as archives of archaeological research and interpretation. Records, and the physical results of
experimental archaeology also form part of the archaeological record.
