You are assigned an article from 1968 from the journal American Antiquity, which is published by the Society for American Archaeology (SAA). The subject matter deals with changes in social structure during the Early Woodland period in the American Midwest. Based upon what you know about the history of archaeological thought, the article will most likely be written from the perspective of:

Processual archaeology (aka, 'New Archeology'). Binford published his seminal articles summarizing the new focus on social process in the early 60's, and archaeologists working in the Americas were quick to adopt those approaches. Given that the article is coming from the flagship journal of the professional society that caters (especially in 1968) to those trained within the field of anthropology, this is going to be processual. I look forward to reading the equations...

You are assigned an article from the American Journal of Archaeology (published by the Archaeological Institute of America) for class that dates to 1968 and deals with an archaeological site in southern Italy. Before you begin reading, you can assume:

The article will be written from the perspective of cultural historical archaeology, because most American classical archaeologists were resistent to processual approaches at this time and Hodder had yet to formulate a critical response to the New Archeology.

Landscape (survey) archaeology was instrumental to the introduction of processual archaeology because:

There was no need for a permit and therefore no need for the project's design by the ASCSA - project directors hade wide latitude for conceptualizing research design. Landsape archaeology requires large numbers of student volunteers, which dramatically increased the numbers of students exposed to processual approaches. The nature of the data and the questions being asked called for approaches that lent themselves easily to processual archaeology
