var abjection = '<h1>abjection</h1><p>Disgust at the putrified remains of the past.</p>';

var absence = '<h1>absence</h1><p>Though the past is absent, because it is over and gone, there are memories and remains. The archaeological past is, in this way, not so much absent or withheld as not-present.</p>';

var actuality = '<h1>actuality</h1><p>A return of what is no longer the same. A conjunction of present moments: the past\'s present, the instant of (archaeological) excavation or discovery, and the time of viewing, reading, recollection. Actuality is a kind of photographic time.</p>';

var anthropometrics = '<h1>anthropometrics</h1><p>Archaeologists measure the remains of people and their works. The desire is for some kind of control over the incidental details, a system that might lead to identification of what went on when and who and what was involved. Anthropometrics can include the forensic anthropology of fingerprints and DNA typing, measuring skulls in a nineteenth century physiognomic science of criminality, race and character,  as well as biological informatics.</p>';

var archive = '<h1>archive</h1><p>A depository and register of remains, needing management and maintenance.</p>';

var aura = '<h1>aura</h1><p>An uncanny impression of unique presence possessed by archaeological objects, often associated with their authenticity and witnessing of times and events now gone.</p>';

var authenticity = '<h1>authenticity</h1><p>The real thing, the genuine article, often guaranteed by evidence of origin and ownership.</p>';

var collection = '<h1>collection</h1><p>Archaeologists make collections. Because the collected items owe their association to the interest of the collector, a collection is always more than an account of the past and more than the sum of its parts. The collector is fascinated by the life of an artifact - its journey through making, use, discard, recovery, and re-collection.</p>';

var connoisseurship = '<h1>connoisseurship</h1><p>Possessing an esoteric knowledge of incidental details of things unnoticed by most people, the connoisseur attributes an item to a class and so judges quality and value.</p>';

var depths = '<h1>depths</h1><p>Archaeologists may dig deep to find meaning.</p>';

var documents = '<h1>documents</h1><p>How are we to document the past on the basis of its fragmentary material remains? Any attempt can only be provisional because the remains are broken material and always withhold more than ever could be said or pictured.</p>';

var entropy = '<h1>entropy</h1><p>Archaeology\'s entropy is the drift into formlessness as more and more of the past is lost and decays away.</p>';

var fieldwork = '<h1>fieldwork</h1><p>Getting out to engage with archaeological sites and finds.</p>';

var forensics = '<h1>forensics</h1><p>At a scene of crime anything might be relevant. An archaeological site is like a crime scene because a tiny fragment may be significant and provide a clue to some deeper meaning or knowledge.</p>';

var garbology = '<h1>garbology</h1><p>A systematic interest in garbage, rubbish, trash, detritus - the ultimate substance of history.</p>';

var memory = '<h1>memory</h1><p>Like memory, the work of archaeology is re-collection - the reinsertion of pieces of the past into a form that carries significance in the present, carried forward from the past. As in memory, the (archaeological) traces of the past do not constitute a timeline or linear account. They percolate and resonate with a present experienced moment; this is what precipitates their reemergence, their recollection.</p>';

var museology = '<h1>museology</h1><p>The science of archive management.  Museology often involves scribes, writing inventories and catalogs.</p>';

var monument = '<h1>monument</h1><p>Monuments, big or small, are a favorite interest of archaeologists. They mark out historical territory and remind us of the past.</p>';

var muteability = '<h1>mute-ability</h1><p>Processes of metamorphosis lie at the heart of archaeology. Things rot and decay. Everyday garbage becomes history. Remains are restored. Material remains are turned into stories. Archaeologists may think they can translate the traces of the past - the mute stones speaking through the work of the archaeologist.</p>';

var objectiveobjects = '<h1>objective objects</h1><p>Sometimes archaeologists just focus on things themselves, as data, as fetishes, or because they are the only place to begin, or because what people make and do reveals more than they say.</p>';

var origins = '<h1>origins</h1><p>Archaeologists often seek the beginnings of things (the origins of agriculture, of cities, of Greek culture S) and are particularly interested in the origins of the present, asking - What has brought us to where we are now?</p>';

var ruins = '<h1>ruins</h1><p>Sites of archaeological interest.</p>';

var scavenging = '<h1>scavenging</h1><p>Recycling bits of the past otherwise discarded, making them live again, finding value where none was perceived.</p>';

var surfaces = '<h1>surfaces</h1><p>Though we may wish to dig deep in search of authentic meaning, it doesn\'t appear to us in any great clarity. The depths need decoding with the concept of horizontal surface interface - edges, moments of discontinuity when one layer becomes another. Establishing such surface discontinuities is the focus of much archaeological effort. And, of course, it involves sideways movement across a surface, planning features such as walls and pits, as one goes.</p>';

var symptomatics = '<h1>symptomatics</h1><p>The remains of the past may be considered as traces, clues or symptoms. In symptomatic logic superficial and isolated finds, events and observations are linked to underlying causes or events. A symptom may lead to medical diagnosis. An archaeological find may be taken as a sign of culture change or trading relationship.</p>';

var systematics = '<h1>systematics</h1><p>The archaeologist faces a mound of debris - the past shattered into pieces. One way of making good the loss inherent in the fragments is to create a system that can encompass the debris - to define categories, classify, and write catalogs.</p>';

var topography = '<h1>topography</h1><p>A classic archaeological interest - the historical lie of the land and sense of historical place.</p>';

var topology = '<h1>topology</h1><p>The percolating time that folds together the many fragmentary traces of pasts present in any one place.</p>';

var trauma = '<h1>trauma</h1><p>The shock that the real story of history is one of loss and discontinuity, because there are so few archaeological remains from which a coherent story may be made.</p>';

var theuncanny = '<h1>the uncanny</h1><p>A return of the repressed. The experience of something strange but hauntingly familiar, reminiscent. The sublime horror of meeting one\'s double. The uncanny is disruptive of time. It is a fracturing, splitting, or doubling of subjectivity. It is a disturbing repetition-with-a-difference.</p>';
