... for the K/T extinction) or complex, involving diverse factors? For example, the combination of climate change, mass migration, war and economic collapse would undoubtedly be worse than one of those factors acting alone. As in the analogous mass-extinction of life debate, the SIS meeting demonstrated that such questions are in principle resolvable by detailed stratigraphical analyses and investigations in the field. Continuing the astronomical theme, Duncan Steel (Spaceguard Australia) gave an ingenious interpretation of the earliest phases of construction of Stonehenge, pointing out that according to the giant comet hypothesis, episodes of enhanced terrestrial bombardment are expected to occur when the orbit of the Encke comet dust trail intersects that of the ...
232. Rohl's Chronology - Implications for Mediterranean? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... moving the eruption into Middle Minoan IIIB, yet the town of Akrotiri, destroyed and sealed by the eruption, was clearly culturally LM IA - according to the pottery found at the site. Moreover, pumice from the eruption of Thera has recently (since the Thera Congress which approved the "scientific" date) been found in a clear stratigraphical context in the Eastern Egyptian Delta city of Avaris and at the Sinai site of Tell el-Hebua. The horizon of the pumice was unequivocally dated to the period from Ahmose I to Amenhotep II. Thus the "scientific" date is over 120 years earlier than the conventional date for the early 18th Dynasty in Egypt - when the archaeological evidence ...

... in catastrophism had been rekindled by Alvarez's book about the death of the dinosaurs, in particular the observation that in addition to the Iridium layer there was a carbon layer, indicating that there had been a catastrophic fire storm It reminded Han of another carbon layer found across northern Europe. Ager had mentioned in his 1973 book The Nature of the Stratigraphic Record that along shores and steepsided valleys in southern England there was a clear carbon layer followed by a snail layer dating from the end of the last Ice Age. Although Ager had suggested that this could be taken as an indication of a universal conflagration, when Han tackled him about it, asking if there were other examples which had ...

... constellations. Sieff's article, in particular, is a major pioneering effort; a Review Extra by Ralph Juergens- "Galactic Space Charge and Stellar Energy"- raises some key questions about the nature of the Sun and the whole subject of cosmic electrical energy. Book Reviews of "Peoples of the Sea" and "The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record" constitute only a part of the additional material. A future issue of the S.I .S . Review will be devoted exclusively to Ages in Chaos and will deal with such subjects as the Papyrus Ipuwer and El-Amarna letters. Subscription and Associate Membership cost (which includes the S.I .S . Review) is ...

... why this earlier work on chronological revision had not progressed beyond a certain point about 20 years ago but he was followed by an enthusiastic Emmet Sweeney trying to convince us that there was another way forward. Emmet had to double at short notice for Gunnar Heinsohn, whose paper had unfortunately not arrived but his job was made easier by his own stratigraphic synchronisms with Heinsohn's work. After this sortie into the world of radically down-dated revisions we broke new ground by entering the arena of AD chronological revision, courtesy of Dr. Eugen Gabowitsch from Germany, who certainly gave his audience some new perspectives on history. Our last paper again originated from America but had to be read in absentia; ...

... a very short episode of high temperature, we are more inclined to assign it to a temporary non-linear behavior of the species in question. Examples of such behavior are known and will be discussed below". The core under study "has failed to reveal any evidence of sedimentary disturbance, including turbidite deposition." In The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record (Halsted Press, 1973), Ager relates the following on page 40: "Along the chalk downs in southern England there are a number of short, steepsided dry valleys traditionally blamed on the devil (for example, Devil's Dyke near Brighton). These have been gouged out of the hills, probably under periglacial conditions, ...
238. What has Happened to Worzel's Deep-Sea Ash? [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... refractive index of 1.500. No crystalline minerals were detected. No regional trend in thickness was found. Because of this remarkable uniformity, both Worzel and Ewing e.a . were of the opinion that its extension was probably much greater, and quite possibly world-wide. The ash appeared to be similar, in composition and in. stratigraphic position, to an ash layer found in cores taken from the Gulf of Mexico, which had been tentatively correlated with the lower ash in Piggot's North Atlantic cores. Still another similar ash layer had been described from cores taken off the coasts of Peru and Chile, as far south as 25o. Ewing concluded that "If this suggestive ...

... of sediment at the bottom of the shelter were discovered, together with charcoal and broken tools. Most of this rock art has been dated to between 10,000 and 17,000 years ago, the dates being derived from flecks of paint that had fallen from the sandstone walls on to the floor. They were found in a clear stratigraphical context. Also found were 3 human teeth and part of a skull, which have been dated at 15,000 years ago. Nearby sites have revealed evidence of human activity going back to 48,000 years ago. Another sandstone cave, in the Brazilian Amazonian region, the Caverna da Pedro Pintada, also possesses stratified layers of ...

... , in evaluating an early Greek's achievement in the "exact sciences," always see how much he could have borrowed from either of them. The radical downdating of all three civilizations being undertaken by Gunnar Heinsohn, Herbert Illig, and Benny Peiser has called this entire assumption into question. Heinsohn's work, relying first and foremost on the archaeological stratigraphy, has accumulated an immense quantity of evidence that the Bronze Age should be downdated to the late Second and early First Millennium B.C .E ., and these same strata which support his downdating he has also synchronized, from the Mediterranean to Pakistan, to reveal a series of catastrophes which ended only in the late Seventh Century ...
