ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARTICLES. In addition to the general article ARCHAEOLOGY, where the development of the science is fully treated, there are numerous archaeological sub sections to continents and countries (these subsections are found under the names of the territories). Special articles on individual civilizations appear under their distinctive names, e.g., AEGEAN CIVILIZATION. As is the case with ANTHROPOLOGY (q.v.), large territories (e.g., .Africa) are subdivided for archaeological pur poses into different areas of varying importance. Numerous short articles deal with some of the most prominent gods and rulers of ancient vanished peoples. So that APIs or HAPI; AMON; etc. re ceive adequate treatment and carry cross-references to articles where comparative material may be found.
Special subdivisions of archaeologic study have individual arti cles, e.g., CAHOKIA MOUND, THE; CARNAC: Megalithic Monu ments; CATACOMBS; CAVE; CLIFF-DWELLINGS; DEAD, DISPOSAL OF THE ; EOLITHS ; ETRUSCANS ; FLINTS ; HITTITES ; IBERIANS; INSCRIPTIONS; LABYRINTH ; LAKE DWELLINGS ; LA TENE ; MOUND-BUILDERS; PAPYROLOGY ; SABAEANS; SARCOPHAGUS; SCARAB ; SEQUENCE DATING ; SHELL-MOUNDS ; SPHINX ; STONE MONUMENTS, PRIMITIVE; STRATIGRAPHY; TYPOLOGY; VILLANO VANS ; and VITRIFIED FORTS.
