Archaeological Looting Emilio Spedicato, from Bergamo, Italy, writes: I would like to offer some additional information concerning the looting of archaeological material that is now going on in ... , as reported by Tania ta Maria. [7 ] According to my good friend, the archaeologist Giovanni Pettinato, the Baghdad Archaeological Museum, which is presently closed to visitors, has lost a large part of its collections which, no doubt, have been sold and exported by Saddam Hussein's circle of friends.

302. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ... "Bison hunters probably used driving as their chief hunting method [without horses?!]. The reason for believing this is that most of the Paleo-Indian archaeological sites containing animal remains (mostly bison bones, horns, and teeth) contain them in abundance; the sites are mass kill' sites. The hunters presumably drove ... , how could small populations have done so with crude stone-headed spears, or other primitive weapons? Fagan goes on to show that at the finds of man's settlements, "archaeologists have always been struck by the abundance of reindeer bones at Cro-Magnon sites. Judging from the bones at the Abri Pataud rockshelter, reindeer provided up to thirty percent of ...
303. Catastrophes: the Diluvial Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... However, no serious investigation took place as to whether there had been a widespread flood in Sumer during the Early Dynastic Period, as this would have smacked of unfashionable Biblical Archaeology'. Instead, it was often suggested that accounts of strictly localised events in the region, caused by the Tigris and/or Euphrates bursting their banks, at ... be the same in every case. It remains possible that some stories may, to some extent, have a factual basis. Indeed, from locations described by Homer, archaeologists such as Heinrich Schliemann and Wilhelm Dörpfeld have found extensive evidence of pre-classical civilisations [4 , 5]. In most ancient traditions, catastrophes were associated with divine displeasure ...

... lakes, the Celts put objects of a similar kind into wells and springs and into pits and shafts clearly having a comparable significance in their traditions. "( 3 ) Archaeological investigation has shown how extensive and deeply ingrained was this cult in Celtic ritual. With this fact firmly established, it is of interest to single out for special attention ... practices, traces of which are also found there. Among these was the custom of cremating the dead. One north-Alpine branch of this seemingly ubiquitous family has been designated by archaeologists as the Urnfield people because they employed cremation and buried the ashes in urns in fields set aside for that purpose.(8 ) It is significant to note that ...

... : Sat, 15 May 1999 17:07:14 -0700 (PDT) James Conway wrote: The tales of Solomon's wealth is in dispute because according to Velikovsky his archaeological strata is displaced by 5 ½ centuries further in time making the strata assigned to him lacking of any artifact at all that could be intelligently connected to his reign. ... more details, especially the positional relationship between the stratum he mentions and Hellenistic times, and which strata separate them. Ev wrote: This alone is enough evidence to allow archaeologists to place Hammurabi in a relative context, one impossible to reconcile with Heinsohn's chronology. When one takes into consideration the additional evidence from Mari and elsewhere (Karana, ...
306. New Paper on Bronze Age Catastrophes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 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 ... influenced by Lamb's (1970) discussion of the impact of volcanoes on climate, they equated these with a stratospheric dust veil from Santorini. Despite several cautionary comments from both archaeologists (Manning 1988; Warren 1988) and geologists (Pyle 1989; 1990), the 1628 BC date, or one close to it, continues to be accepted ...

308. The 'Cosmic Winter', Gildas... and St Patrick [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... dispossessed British. This begs the question: why complicate the process with a sky-born natural catastrophe? Clube and Napier might have some sort of case if they had produced some archaeological evidence. It is damning for them that the towns of sub-Roman Britain and its villas display no evidence of violent conflagration. This has caused Gildas to be accused of ... misery. There is, however, no evidence in the numerous books written on the Dark Ages to support Clube & Napier, although it would be true to say that archaeologists have not looked for evidence of blast from an atmospheric explosion. Why should they? Atkinson appears to favour Bede and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as sources more reliable than Gildas ...

Dr. Euan MacKie's archaeological excavation at Kintraw, Argyllshire, Scotland, has been hailed by some as a dramatic confirmation of the astronomical function of this megalithic site. According to Alexander Thom's earlier ... Here is where MacKie came to Thom's rescue. Having discussed the site with him and with astronomer Archie E. Roy, MacKie decided that Kintraw offered an opportunity for an archaeologist to shed some light on the astronomical theory by excavation. He thus conducted a preliminary reconnaissance in June of 1970 with further excavations in August of the same year and ...
