Option 2
[edit]- Article title
- Experimental archaeology
- Article Evaluation
- This article is part of WikiProjects Technology and Archaeology on which the latter has given it a Mid-importance rating and a Start - class quality rating. My first impression of the article is that it is primarily focused on listing practitioners of experimental archaeology. There is a lot of room for expansion in regards to usage and applications.

Option 3
[edit]- Article title
- Harris matrix
- Article Evaluation
- This article is rated High - importance by WikiProject Archaeology but has a start - class quality rating. The article primarily needs more inline citations and reference verification.

Option 4
[edit]- Article title
- Marxist archaeology
- Article Evaluation
- The article is rated by WikiProject Archaeology as B - class quality rated and of Mid - importance. This article is well written and developed but seems to lack some perspective on the theoretical impact of Marxist theory on archaeology and anthropology. I think the article compartmentalizes Marxist archaeology to the soviet union and fails to acknowledge its impact beyond that.

Option 5
[edit]- Article title
- Cultural resource management
- Article Evaluation
- The article has a start - class quality rating and no importance rating with WikiProject Archaeology. The article is a bit scattered and needs better organization. There is room for improvement particularly in regards to applications of CRM and how it is conducted nationally.
