Archeology vs Archaeology


The keen observers of this website may notice that there are two versions of the spelling of archeology/archaeology. The NHAS uses the shorter version while you may see the longer version used in some cases. For purposes of discussion let’s just call them ‘e’ or ‘ae’. When the society was founded in 1947 ‘e’ was chosen.


There was no specific reason why and it stands in contrast with the sister societies in the bordering states, all of whom use ‘ae’. We at the NHAS use the ‘e’ in all of our publications (print and electronic) however there are many cases where reference is made to a journal, an organization or an official title (e.g. Archaeology of Eastern North America, Society for American Archaeology, or NH State Archaeologist) and of course that spelling must be retained.


Barbara Little, a nationally recognized scholar from the University of Maryland, was tasked with addressing this issue by the Society for American Archaeology and her paper can be accessed here. It does not fully solve the problem but does give some insight on the issue.

I recently upgraded the windows in my home and was genuinely pleased with the results. I was looking for quality Roller Curtains in Dubai that could give my rooms a clean, modern appearance while providing better privacy and sunlight control. I really liked the simple design and smooth operation, which made them convenient for everyday use. The fabric quality was impressive, and the curtains fitted perfectly with my interior décor. The installation was completed neatly and professionally, and the final finish exceeded my expectations. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and happy with how the roller curtains improved the comfort and style of my home.
