Setbacks and Solutions Within Archaeology

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2017

Professional archaeologists often encounter problems while conducting research, surveying, and interpreting data. These problems can come in the form of broken gear, faults in methodology, poorly collected data, and processing errors. This session will demonstrate how working archaeologists have overcome these obstacles within all aspects of archaeology. Presenters will share their insight into how these obstacles were overcome to help other archaeologists that may have or had the same issues. Session participants will identify problems they encountered and thier solutions to provide a dialog of how to improve methodologies within our discipline.
