Talk:List of archaeological sites by country

Comments

Below the listing for Mexico, it previously said: "All the above are either Aztec or Olmec sites." Actually, none of them are, as can be seen by visiting the articles. -- Infrogmation 22:29 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)

What about ordering the sites according to periods? --Yak 15:29, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)

Instead I think this should be separated into categories for each country like Category:Archaeological sites in the United States which then is a category of Category:Archaeological sites by countryPschemp | Talk 19:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Japan is out of order.

Can someone fix Japan? It is beneath Belize and is listed as having an archaeological site which is actually found in Belize. Then, if you look at Japan in its proper place in the list, it still has that false site listed.

Aramus

Under Armenia their is a site called Aramus. If you click on this link you get on an article relating to an animal called limpkin. I don't think it is meant the animal with this link. Jacobine19:15, April 1, 2006

Palestine

Since when has palestine been a part of Israel, its like saying Iraq is a state of the U.S.A, or the solomons part of Australia. There needs to be a section down the bottom for quasi states of conflick areas etc. Enlil Ninlil 16:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Massive Clean-Up and Reorganization

I notice that this article/list was up for deletion back in 2006 based on numerous issues. There was no consensus. Since then it appears that no one has taken ownership of it. So I plan to "be bold" and do a massive clean-up and reorganization. I will then maintain and watch over it. If you don't like the results, then nominate it for deletion again. It can't get much worse than it already is. Biglovinb (talk) 09:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

The Moon

This is not a joke: The first manned and unmanned landing sites on the moon need to be listed. They are the location of what are among the most monumental events in history. So far, they are pristine. Kdammers (talk) 07:14, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

The moon is not a country. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 02:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I realize that, but sites outside of countries (e.g., in Antarctica and many ocean sites) should be listed - either in a partner site or by changing the name of this site. Kdammers (talk) 09:18, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

There is nothing archaeological about landing sites on the moon. ♆ CUSH ♆ 04:22, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, there is.Wikipedia's description of archaeological site: "An archaeological site is a place (or group of physical sites) in which evidence of past activity is preserved (either prehistoric or historic or contemporary), and which has been, or may be, investigated using the discipline of archaeology and represents a part of the archaeological record. Sites may range from those with few or no remains visible above ground, to buildings and other structures still in use."Gibson, Ralph (2001) “Lunar Archaeology: the Application of Federal Historic Preservation Law to the Site Where Humans First Set Foot Upon the Moon.” Master’s Thesis, Department of Anthropology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces. Kdammers (talk) 07:57, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

So who has conducted the discipline of archaeology on the moon sites ? ♆ CUSH ♆ 13:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Archaeological sites in England

I noticed that 'Mother Grundy's Parlour' was not linked to an article so though I would link it to Creswell Crags but then noticed that 'Creswell Crags' is not a member of 'List of archaeological sites by country#United Kingdom'. The 'Creswell Crags' is a member of 'Category:Archaeological sites in Derbyshire' and 'Category:Archaeological sites in England', which pre-existed and is well populated. I have created a sub-category 'Archaeological sites in England'. I am not sure if I have done the right thing though. Wales does not have a sub-category 'Archaeological sites in Wales'. 'Archaeological sites in Scotland' redirects to 'National Monuments Record of Scotland', which is a bit confusing. If you think the inclusion of 'Archaeological sites in England' within 'List of archaeological sites by country' then please revert, but be aware that many English sites won't be accessible via this list. I intend to put the 'Archaeology of Scotland' (Category:Archaeology of Scotland) as a sub category within this list. Again revert if I have messed up. 2A00:23C4:D896:6000:A5E3:DA3B:AE05:702D (talk) 21:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
