His doctoral thesis has since been ... without further argument, that Beth-shan was the town besieged by Psammetichus. He is then able to refer to the fact that stelae of Seti I were discovered at Beth-shan by archaeologists; thus he presents an apparent parallel between the actions of Psammetichus and Seti: they both besieged and occupied Beth-shan.

Silberman (The Free Press, $26) One side in the ongoing debate about historicity of the Bible.

... | Issue Contents Response to Bimson Emmet Sweeney At the Ages Still in Chaos' Conference 2002, John Bimson took me to task over a couple of issues relating to the archaeology and stratigraphy of the Near East. These points were expanded upon in a footnote added to the transcript of the discussion which occurred at the end of my talk. ... 8th, 7th and even 6th centuries, it is necessary to say something about how Greek pottery sequences are presently viewed and about the history of their discovery and classification. Archaeologists of the 19th century were in no doubt that Geometric art, with its disciplined lines and abstraction, was the earliest authentic expression of the Greek spirit. The art ...
254. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , evolutionary schemes of Frazer, Morgan, Engels, Spencer and others who perceived a rational technological sequence moving from hominid to contemporary mankind, and whose ideas are dominant in archaeology and paleo-anthropology today. Archaeologists and historians have coined hundreds of local designations that are poorly coordinated, even after strenuous and painstaking field and museum studies. Like geologists, ... have produced a surfeit of types in order to make local distinctions, and in the process have hampered theoretical integration. All of the most ancient peoples reported that the world moved through time in a series of creations and destructions. When the Spanish explorers encountered the Aztecs of Mexico, the Aztecs were in their Age of the Fifth Sun; ...

... biology, and epidemiology supported the paradigm of New World isolation prior to Columbus. This erroneous paradigm led to further distortions of reality: Old World artifacts found in New World archaeological sites dating centuries before Columbus were routinely ignored or branded as fakes. Orthodox scholars accepted the paradigm as it had been revised by their predecessors as though it were the ... , and architectural innovations such as the Classical arch. They are all presumed to have been absent from New World cultures until the 16th century. For many years, American archaeologists felt compelled to date native sites as post-Columbus if they contained any Old World artifacts. Case in point: During the 1800s, Smithsonian archaeologists identified an inscription found on ...

... surface yielding terra-cottas. That these sites in the fertile heartlands associated with the super-powers of the first millennium BCE were never again used poses one of the major enigmas in Mesopotamian archaeology. Archaeologists themselves have occasionally been compelled to date our terra-cottas to the Persian period, i.e ., 1500 years later than their conventional beginning in the Old-Babylonian ... around 2000 BCE. At Ur, in Southern Mesopotamia, Sir Leonard Woolley found at least three pieces (nos. 316, 324 and 332 in Opificius) in a garbage heap which he identified as "Neo-Babylonian or Persian". After "comparison" with very similar pieces found on other sites- where they were dated between 2150 BCE ...

... less excusable since I have come up relatively blank on the citations you requested. I do however have a contact who I know is quite interested, and deeply involved in archaeological investigations of past natural fire history. You should contact: Dr. Edwin V. Komarek, Sr. Tall Timbers Research Station Route I, Box 160 Tallahassee, ... . A special study, however, is lacking. It should also be noted that the original layer must invariably have been much thicker than the final layer as discovered by archaeologists.

However, he does document in detail a controversial archaeological find in the northern Yukon Territory which indicates that perhaps early man was present and shaping bone tools over 100,000 years ago. Many archaeologists consider than man only ...

In general, the book provides a painless and artistically appealing introduction to plate tectonic theory. More importantly. it inadvertently shows that far from ...
