... dynastic system is thus cut, and a more sensible chronology proposed for the Aegean and Near East. Great trading empires are shown stretching from Europe to the Indus, linked to the important period of Mycenaean and Hyksos international prosperity. As an everyday reference book on the sources of the rare elements, on analyses, metallurgy, glazing and the stratigraphy of the major archaeological sites - the reports of most having been long out-of-print - it will be invaluable. Sections deal with the source of the silver of Sargon of Agade, with the definition of Egyptian Blue or kyanos, with Carbon 14 dating and with the important technique of lead isotope analysis. It deserves to grace departmental libraries in ...
222. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER SEVEN Fire and Ash "A universal conflagration' (if possible) would certainly not last long enough to leave any sort of recognizable stratigraphical record, whereas a few centuries or millennia of occasional heath or forest fires, during a particularly dry spell, would probably do so without requiring any special mechanism."[1 ] Even to speak of a universal conflagration gives a geologist cause to blush, as Derek Ager, the author of these lines, remarks in another context. Without the "special mechanism", forest fires, started by lightning, and volcanos, started by hot spots ...

... geology and produced a book reminiscent of I. Donelly and I. Velikovsky in its catastrophic orientation'. He believes thriving cities in Nebraska were lost and anomalous geology created when a comet hit the area in 1680 AD. The New Catastrophism by D. Ager, 1993, $32 95 This is a sequel to The Nature of the Stratigraphic Record, already a classic among neocatastrophists. Written by an expert geologist, this book is described as vivid testimony that uniformitarianism is passé'. Jack Horsford recommends some 19th century books. Book of Beginnings by Gerald Massey (2 vols., London, 1881) This seeks to establish a link between ancient Egypt and Britain., ...

226. In Passing [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the earth's crust" in Africa, the Rift Valley formed, the major open-country animals appeared and, suddenly, there are hominids, already adapted to an upright posture which requires many anatomical changes. At Leakey's Lake Turkana site a sudden, drastic shrinking of the ancient lake, accompanied by a sudden change in climate, occurs at the same stratigraphical level as the apparent sudden arrival of a second type of stone tool culture, the penultimate Homo species as found in Java and China, and the presence of several giant herbivore species. The hominid record at Turkana and South Africa is bedevilled by the presence of two or three species at the same time and in nearby areas, difficult ...

... evidence for a world-wide catastrophe around 2300 BC, by M. Mandelkehr. Greek letters on the tiles of Ramesses III? A re-examination of this apparent anomaly by Aegean archaeologist Eddie Schorr, who is well known for his major articles on the revised chronology written under the name of Israel Issacson in the journal Pensée. A debate on the revised stratigraphy between Professor William Stiebing Jr and Dr John Bimson. A full, illustrated report on the findings of the Society's 1984 Tour of Egypt, including transcripts of lectures by Michael Jones and Peter James. Eminent astronomer Dr Maurice Jastrow examines Worlds in Collision and argues that the Earth Sciences provide no evidence for global catastrophes as recent as the 15th ...
228. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on two articles by Israel Finkelstein which suggested shifts of 50 - 100 years in the archaeology of the 12th to 9th centuries. Thus Solomon is deprived of his Solomonic' gates and Iron Age IIA pottery, and the Philistine settlement was postponed until 50 years after their famous battle with Ramesses III. Finkelstein followed up with a third article The Stratigraphy and Chronology of Megiddo and Beth-Shan in the 12th - 11th Centuries BCE' [Tel Aviv 23 (1996) pp. 170-184]. The article attempts to fit these two sites to his lowered chronology for Philstine pottery (Philistine monchrome [or IIIC1b] now starting c. 1130 BC, and Philistine bichrome starting c. 1100 BC ...
229. Abrupt Climate Change & the Rise and Fall of An Andean Civilisation [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... records that span 3500 years from Lake Titicaca and the surrounding Bolivian-Peruvian altiplano demonstrate that the emergence of agriculture (ca. 1500 B.C .) and the collapse of the Tiwanaku civilization (ca. A.D . 1100) coincided with periods of abrupt, profound climate change. The timing and magnitude of climate changes are inferred from stratigraphic evidence of lake-level variation recorded in C-14-dated lake-sediment cores. (c ) 1997 University of Washington. ...
