- I. Purpose:
- To support teaching and research programs through
the doctoral level. Archaeology is of interest to the departments of Classics,
Anthropology, Art, Germanic Languages as well as the areas of Latin American,
Middle Eastern and Asian Studies.
- II. General Collection
Guidelines
- A. Languages: English is the primary language of collection with
materials in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian collected on a
broad basis. Materials in other languages are acquired selectively. Collecting
of archaeological works in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, and other Oriental languages is treated
in the appropriate vernacular Collection Statements.
- B.
Chronological Guidelines: From the prehistoric to the present.
- C. Geographical Guidelines: Primary emphasis is on North America,
Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Collecting levels for
archaeology related to Latin America and to Texas are in the statements for
those special collections.
- D. Treatment of Subject: Reports of
excavations and works on theory and methods are acquired extensively. Quality
and quantity of illustrations are factors to be considered in selection.
Popular works and elementary textbooks will not be purchased.
- E.
Types of Material: Publications of archaeological commissions, societies,
and museums are extensively acquired.
- F. Date of Publication:
Current and retrospective works are purchased.
- G. Other General
Considerations: The
Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center has titles in the area of classical
archaeology, and its Grattan Collection of Southwest Pacificana contains
materials on Australia and Oceania. The Center for American
History and the Benson Latin American Collection
acquire extensively archaeological materials for their collections. Local
theological seminaries have materials in Biblical and Middle Eastern
archaeology.
