... Schaeffer, correlating the chronology and stratigraphy of Bronze Age sites in the Near East, led him to conclude that many of the phases of Bronze Age civilisation were ended by catastrophes "not caused by the action of man". This paper summarises Schaeffer's conclusions and their implications for both Worlds in Collision and the revised chronology. The distinguished French ... particularly in earlier excavations). Moreover, what an archaeologist finds is often determined by what he is looking for or expects to find. What might appear significant to a catastrophist could well seem unworthy of special notice to someone predisposed to discount any possibility of a catastrophic event occurring in proto-historic or historic times. Altogether, Schaeffer found five periods ...

... of his archives, he hounded Stephanos into resigning from the board.

By April, de Grazia also withdrew from active work on the organization he ... letting Mainwaring take over the management. FOSMOS never achieved any of the goals it had set for itself.

... the lives of people, but they were not originally inherent to the human mind either, as Jung wanted us to believe.

The forms and motions that characterised them ... ' is the result of this reconstruction as it stands now. I owe much to David Talbott, Ev Cochrane, and Dwardu Cardona in respect of my first acquaintance with catastrophist theories for the origin of mythology. Much of the model here presented is in accordance with their ideas. Yet, as can easily be seen, my own model ...

A third, which I have not encountered but would expect to be congenial to those evolutionary theorists who hold that organisms become fossilized only under catastrophic conditions, is to call myth fossil literature, meaning literature which is produced only as a result of catastrophic experiences.

Circle, then cooling and darkness should not seriously have affected the dinosaurs living elsewhere (e .g . the tropics). The find is good evidence instead for a catastrophist cause of extinction which does not involve impact producing dust and darkness.

This is the century, too, when Seuss' carbondating research suggested shifts in the magnetic poles and abrupt changes of climate [82].
