... his view of the world. For example, in respect to John Dayton's major opus, [6 ] Ginenthal never questions a claim that the establishment reacted by "taking steps to shut down the section of the university that allowed Dayton to expose the scientific evidence, so destructive to their dogma." [7 ] Yet the Institute of Archaeology still exists, as anyone can see by visiting its web site. [8 ] It may have been subjected to internal and external restructuring, but such reorganisations are typical of what has been happening in British universities over the past 25 years, and there is not the slightest evidence to suggest they had anything to do with Dayton. ...
152. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by a leaflet announcing the foundation of an Institute for the Study of Interdisciplinary Sciences - ISIS. This initiative has been taken by a number of existing members of this Society, who feel strongly that there is a need to establish a centre which would sponsor and fund research of an interdisciplinary nature, principally in the fields of ancient history, archaeology and catastrophism; organise and sponsor excavations at relevant sites; and provide a focal point for bringing together scholars and interested lay persons in order to discuss and disseminate ideas, knowledge and research. This venture has the full support of the SIS Council, although it should be emphasised that the Institute will be both organisationally and financially independent of ...

154. Radiocarbon Dating and Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... made of vegetation or organic material of any kind from an ancient site less than 60,000 years old - and thus to calculate from the proportion of C14 remaining how much time had elapsed since the death of the plant or animal concerned. That leads us on to several rather important points. The first one is really rather a specialised archaeological point, but I must mention it because it has a bearing on the nature of the dated samples from Egypt which I shall discuss later. This is that the fact of a radiocarbon date relating to the death of an organic sample is extremely important: all we can tell, when we are given a radiocarbon date by the laboratory ...
155. Response to Bimson [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS C & C Review 2004:1 Incorporating Workshop 2004:2 (May 2004) Home | 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. The general impression conveyed by John was that I, along presumably with Gunnar Heinsohn, was failing to take into account the archaeological and stratigraphical evidence. Yet, that is the precise opposite of the truth. In fact, as ...
156. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... chronological surprise by exhibiting features of art only met again some 700 years later in the time of Sargon of Assyria (721 to 705 BCE.): Is it an accident that the procession of officials painted in the Kassite palace at Dur-Kurigalzu finds its nearest parallel in the palace of Sargon of Assyria, at Khorsabad?(4 ) Another archaeological surprise was created by Aqar Quf s step tower and its surroundings: The ziggurat of Dur-Kurigalzu, a 170-foot-high building, is one of the finest preserved in all of Mesopotamia and easily matches, if not outdoes, the ziggurats of the post 625 BCE Chaldean dynasty, more than 700 years younger. On the other hand, there are ...

... and dated both to the end of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom. (See R. M. Lowery: "Dating the Admonitions", in this issue.) The conventional scheme has no comparable literary evidence to offer, while Biblical scholars still face the difficult problem of reconciling the Hebrew accounts of the Exodus and Conquest of Canaan with the archaeological context they have been allotted in the Late Bronze Age. This context (second half of the 13th century BC) cannot honestly be said to have recommended itself through its own objective merits. Rather, in the words of D. N. Freedman: ". .. both earlier and later centuries have been discarded, and it ...

159. Chapter 5 Pottery Dating, Faience, and Tin [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... At Gezer there is an almost complete lacuna after the tenth century." (W .F . Albright, The Excavation of Tell Beit Mirsim (New Haven 1932), vol. 1, p. 76) According to Velikovsky, "The real cause of these changes [introduced by Albright] is in the conflicting evidences of Palestinian archaeology which relies on Egyptian chronology."3 Thus, because there was a complete break at the Gezer site after the tenth century, according to Albright, the scarabs that gave these much older dates could be disregarded. But what was one to do when archaeologists working in Palestine found scarabs with Egyptian signs and names of pharaohs all over ...
160. Jericho [Journals] [Kronos]
... covered the ancient city and its wall; an Arab village grew up nearby because of the clean springs that stream past the mound toward the Jordan and the Dead Sea, both in walking distance of a few hours: a fortified city that fell in a very definite moment of history is a desideratum and a prize that are matchless- and archaeological fervor sensed that here great discoveries awaited the diggers. But it was not until 1907 that E. Sellin and C. Watzinger, German archaeologists, after having obtained the necessary firman from the Turkish Government, lifted earth from a portion of the mound. The great wall was found and no archaeologist could possibly have missed it. The ...
