摘要：Archaeologists plumb the depths of Maya temples to
uncover their secrets, dig hundreds of post molds to tease
out house patterns, study the locations of sites to understand
settlement trends, and analyze languages to map their
evolution and what they tell us about the people who spoke
them. Museums become filled with artifacts, government
agency offices overflow with documents, and databases blossom
everywhere. More than 100 years of archaeological information
collected by a variety of people and institutions for a myriad of
purposes exist in the U.S. in various forms, from highly specialized
databases to handwritten notes on three-by-five cards.
Large collections and databases cover the gamut from potsherds,
stone tools, plant and animal remains to survey information
and excavation notes and reports.
