A couple of months after the 1979 revolution of Iran, the universities were occupied by the Islamists who oppressed dissident academics drastically. Two years after the revolution, the headquarter of ...the Cultural Revolution was established, and universities were shuttered to be purified from any other ideology except Islamism. Due to the heavy censorship of the regime, very little is known about the documents and process of oppression during and after the occupation of the universities. In 2010, the author gained access to a ‘green notebook’ found in a trashcan at the University of Tehran, which contains informal minutes of several meetings held by the Islamic Association of Students (IAS). As a direct practice of oppression, IAS had the mission to report the behaviors of the professors working in the department of archaeology to authorities. In this article, the author elucidates the process of oppression of archaeology professors through reading documents of the ‘green notebook.’
The Carnegie Maya IVis the fourth in a series of volumes that make available the primary data and interpretive studies originally produced by archaeologists and anthropologists in the Maya region ...under the umbrella of the Carnegie Institute of Washington's Division of Historical Research. Collected together here are theTheoretical Approaches to Problemspapers, a series that published preliminary conclusions to advance thought processes and stimulate debate. Although two of the three theories published in these reports have since been proven wrong, the theories themselves remain significant because of their impact on the direction of archaeology.
Only a few sets of these three contributions to theTheoretical Approaches to Problemsseries are known to have survived, makingThe Carnegie Maya IVan essential reference and research resource.
The corresponding ebook, for individual download, contains the complete set ofThe Carnegie Maya,The Carnegie Maya II,The Carnegie Maya IIIandThe Carnegie Maya IV, thus making hundreds of documents from the Carnegie Institution's Maya program available in one source.

However, these notes are often of great interest to the specialists for whom they are designed and to whom their distribution is restricted. The majority of the essays-most of which are on the Maya-are on archaeological subjects, epigraphy, ethnohistory and ethnography, and linguistics. As few original copies of theNotesseries are known to exist in U.S. and Canadian libraries, the book will make these essays easily accessible to students, academics, and researchers in the field.Purchase of the print book comes with free individual access to the Adobe Digital EditionsCarnegie Maya Series Ebook,which contains the complete set ofThe Carnegie Maya,The Carnegie Maya II,The Carnegie Maya IIIandThe Carnegie Maya IV, thus making hundreds of documents from the Carnegie Institution's Maya program available in one source.

2006, the University Press of Colorado published The Carnegie Maya: The Carnegie Institution of Washington Maya Research Program, 1913-1957. This volume made available once again to scholars the extensive data published in the CIW Year Book series. The Carnegie Maya II: Carnegie Institution of Washington Current Reports, 1952-1957 continues this project by republishing the CIW Current Reports series. The final CIW field project took place in July of 1950, in the Maya region of Mayapán, where extensive and detailed investigations were conducted for five years. To ensure the rapid dissemination of the results of the Mayapán Project, two series of papers described the work being undertaken and reported the preliminary findings. These were volumes 50 through 57 of the Year Books and numbers 1 through 41 of the Current Reports. A total of forty one Current Reports were published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington from 1952 to 1957. All of these are reproduced in The Carnegie Maya II, accompanied by an introduction by John Weeks, a forward by Marilyn Masson, and a summary table of data compiled by Marilyn Masson regarding artifacts unearthed at Mayapán.
Basic stages of Kazan archaeological school development are traced from its origin, which was connected to the Society of Archaeology, History and Ethnology with Kazan University (1878 – early ...1930s). The establishment of Kazan Institute of Language, Literature and History in 1939 (from 1945 as part of Kazan Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences) started the formation of Kazan archaeological school. At the beginning, its representatives worked in the sector of History, Institute of Language, Literature and History, Kazan branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (until 1962), and then joined the sector of Archaeology and Ethnography (1962–1986). Later on, the Department of Archaeology (1986–1995) was created, subsequently (in 1995) transformed into the National Center of Archaeological Research with the Institute of History named after Sh. Marjani of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences. In July, 2013, the Institute of Archaeology named after A.Kh. Khalikov of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences was established on the basis of the Center. The archaeology of Tatarstan was developing in the framework of three basic directions: 1) entire investigation prospecting of the region aimed at creating the most exhaustive list of archaeological monuments of the Middle Volga River region; 2) stationary investigations the prehistoric and medieval sites, first of all historically known Volga Bulgaria towns, rural settlements and necropolises; 3) studies in the sphere of ethnogenesis and ethnic history, interaction between the cultures of the Turkic and Finno-Ugric peoples of the region. For the next 5 years (2014–2018) the researchers of the Institute plan to develop the following trends: I. the medieval Turkic-Tatar civilization of Eurasia; II. prehistorical archaeology of the Volga-Kama region: genesis and interaction of cultures; III. GIS technologies in archaeology; IV. natural science research methods in archaeology; V. conservation and systematization of archaeological objects.
The paper gives an overview of field researches made by the oldest Study of Archaeology in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was established in 2001 at the University of Mostar. Although ...the staff of Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Mostar, has participated in many other researches, this paper includes only those organized by the Department of Archaeology in the framework of their annual field teaching.
Dok je rad Stojana Dimitrijevića na istraživanju neolitika i eneolitika dobro poznat, njegovo zanimanje za paleolitik nije često spominjano. Njegovo zanimanje za arheologiju paleolitika nije bilo ...površno, već obrnuto. Koliko je to razdoblje na Arheološkom zavodu smatrano važnim pokazuje činjenica da su ga osim Hoffillera predavali i Šeper, Mirosavljević i Dimitrijević, a niti jednom od navedenih predavača paleolitik nije bio uže područje interesa. Stojan Dimitrijević još je 1965./66. držao kolegij iz paleolitika, a sedamdesetih je godina dvadesetog stoljeća napisao tekst koji sintetizira dotadašnja paleolitička istraživanja u Hrvatskoj, i koji je u modificiranom obliku objavljen 1998 (Dimitrijević et al. 1998). Iz teksta (Dimitrijević et al. 1998) proizlazi dobra upućenost u stanje paleolitičke arheologije u Hrvatskoj (i šire), u vremenu kada je rukopis pisan, te solidno poznavanje osnovne svjetske paleolitičke literature, premda se u znanstvenom pogledu tim razdobljem nije podrobnije bavio. Ta nam spoznaja zacijelo proširuje sliku o Stojanu Dimitrijeviću kao vrsnom prapovjesničaru svog vremena.

The paper examines the development of the Department of Archaeology at Kemerovo State University in 1998 – 2014, under the leadership of Doctor of History, Professor Vladimir V. Bobrov. The period of ...change and reforming of higher education left an impact on the Department’s development. On the one hand, the period, during which the Department has been headed by Professor Vladimir V. Bobrov, saw the peak of its potential development both in terms of quality and in quantitative composition, on the other hand, it witnessed the process of cutting down on the number of teaching staff and decrease in student recruitment in general and Archeology students in particular. Under Prof. Bobrov the formation of Kemerovo Scientific Archaeological School was completed.
