... in the Atlantic northwest about volcanic eruptions, their impact on climate, and then of the climatic impact on human populations. The burial under tephra of the Late Bronze Age settlement of Santorini is proof of a particular catastrophe: but is there evidence of wider European calamity? A search for precision beyond that currently available is a frequent aspect of archaeological interpretation. Tensions exist as a result of the need to resolve events on a human time-scale using techniques often incapable of producing such accuracy or precision. Dendrochronology, ice-core analysis and tephrochronology, where data-resolution can be constrained either by annual to sub-annual banding or precise isochrones, can make important contributions to tackling the persistent chronological problems in archaeology. ...
172. The Burning of Troy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... rich experience afforded by the excavations of Troy can serve to expose the problems that justify a new approach. Afterwards, we can define in a preliminary way the body of techniques that needs to be assembled and developed. THE "BURNT CITY" OF TROY In some exciting passages, which have unquestionably been among the most widely read of all archaeological writing, Schliemann describes how, in May of 1873, he uncovered "The treasure of Priam," King of Troy during the war between the Greeks and Trojans. (Neither his identification of the Treasure as Priam's nor of the City as the Troy of Homer is at issue here, and therefore these problems are passed over lightly ...
173. Chapter 13 Scythian Princes in the Royal Tombs of Ur [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Cemetery at Ur deserves a full response. In doing so this author will evaluate the evidence Cardona raised from historical as well as from scientific evidence as these impinge upon each other on these questions, the scientific evidence being fundamental to the answers. Cardona states: "The graves in question are those discovered by Woolley in the 1920s. The archaeological treasures that were retrieved from them astonished the world and were fast in becoming internationally famous. Comparable in quality, if not in quantity, to Tutankhamon's funerary equipment, they remain spectacular to this day. One can hardly open a work on ancient Mesopotamia without being confronted with pictures, often photographs, of these richly ornamented items in silver ...

175. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor Marvin Arnold Luckerman Hazor is the largest archaeological site of Israel, consisting of an upper tell and a lower city. It lies on the famous highway, the Via Maris (Way of the Sea), at the northern point that connects Israel to Damascus and onto Mesopotamia. Recently, Dr. Yigael Yadin has described the archaeology of this famous Biblical site, expertly amplifying the archaeological record and succeeding strata with pictures and explanations.1 We find it necessary, however, to challenge the conventional/ traditional chronology used by Dr. Yadin and ...
176. The Gold of Exodus by Howard Blum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Covenant. Whether the protagonists of this strange adventure story, Larry Williams and Bob Cornuke, find any gold I shall leave to readers to learn for themselves. The story is told and embellished by a journalist with direct access to them, their printed versions and several official documentary sources. It combines elements of thriller, spy story and Biblical archaeology. The background of international intrigue is scarcely credible, as is the fact that they lived to tell the tale. Nevertheless it is presented as a true story and I shall treat it as such. Blum writes The Gold of Exodus is an adventure story: My goal was to create a dramatic narrative, a yarn that is fact-based ...

178. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... will form the essential background from which the Heinsohn-Marx ideas can be evaluated. The second part of this presentation will focus on specific statements made in their paper with a view to determining their accuracy. How is it that the Sumerians are conventionally placed in the third millennium before our age? At least three lines of evidence support this placement: archaeology, writing (i .e . paleography), and historical texts. Archaeology At ancient Uruk (biblical Erech, present-day Warka) the following archaeological sequence has been recovered. It provides a relative- but not absolute- chronology. Uruk IV Various early phases, the most important being level four, where the earliest written tablets have ...
179. The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... II is therefore crucial to our present study since it was the actual determinant for the date of the Lion Gate, even though iconographical and aesthetic factors pointed elsewhere [19]. At this juncture, it should be stressed that the pottery specimens excavated at Gurob and other Delta sites were fragmentary and spotty. Petrie's account and interpretation of his archaeological activity was also frequently disjointed and highly conjectural; and the material he collected was collated and dated at a time when the chronology of Egypt itself was in a state of flux. Moreover, Petrie's position did not go unchallenged; Cecil Torr vigorously questioned and debated his methodology and conclusions but to no avail. Petrie's solution' to the ...
180. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... interrupted the even flow of history served as the starting point of Ages in Chaos for the synchronisation of the histories of the Ancient East, in Worlds in Collision these cataclysms were reconstructed from historical documents and traditions of ancient races; in Earth in Upheaval the geological and palaeontological evidence was presented to substantiate the same claims, and only some scattered archaeological evidence was adduced. The task of collecting and interpreting the archaeological evidence of a great natural upheaval in the area of the Near East was diligently performed by CLAUDE F. A. SCHAEFFER of the Collège de France, the excavator of Ras-Shamra/Ugarit. During the years of World War II and the years following he laboured on his ...
