... to their type, not according to the stratum in which he found them. If at the base he finds a finely worked implement he will declare there has been accidental penetration and that the specimen must be re-integrated with the site of its origin by placing it with items from the higher level. He will end with real trickery in the stratigraphic presentation of his specimens; trickery in aid of preconceived ideas, but more or less unconsciously done by a man of good faith whom no one would call fraudulent. The case is often seen, and if I mention no names it is not because I do not know any. ' "This sort of thing goes on not just ...
82. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... as ages 450 million to 20,000 years BP. Asked afterwards about larger structures, such as those pointed out to members of SIS by the late Rene Gallant, including Hudson Bay, Dr Robertson thought these were caused by terrestrial geological phenomena, not meteorites. Charles Ginenthal was skeptical of the ages quoted, challenging the dating methods of stratigraphic age based on fossils as well as dating volcanic rock by radioactive materials. He then put forward his opinion that volcanic activity, caused by large planetary bodies flying by, had been the origin of craters on Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and the moons of Mars and Jupiter. He cited their distribution, all on one side ...
83. Introduction to the Proceedings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... did we see? At Mycenae, Tiryns, Troy, Ugarit and Alalakh, we found numerous 500-700 year problems for the excavators and for those trying to trace the development of artistic and architectural types. We have examined palaces, temples, tombs, pots, pins, carved slabs, bowls, figurines, etc. We have come across stratigraphical sections that do not conform to the expected and accepted sequence of events. Everywhere we found unanswered questions, perplexing problems, and always these involved 500-700 years. .. . The number of 500-700 year problems studied by this writer is quite large, and the more he reads, the greater the number swells. No ad hoc theory ...
84. Calibrated Radiocarbon and the 'Methodological Fault-Line' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... calibrated radiocarbon dates causes horrible problems for chronology. Thus F. Hole, writing in 1987, summarised the 8000-6000 BP period in Mesopotamia and complained of a subsequent 1000 year dark age' created by the application of calibrated radiocarbon dates: "In view of the prevailing lack of sites ascribed to this phase, not to mention the lack of stratigraphic evidence for a substantial gap time [sic], we can hardly be comfortable with the situation: a chronological "fault-line" on either side of which exist abundant sites, but across which the evidence is scarce to non-existent. While calibration of dates has resolved some problems, it has created this giant enigma. The possibilities are as ...
85. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time. Part Two - of Earth, Fire and Water [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and deposited rock above it, which should be highly fossiliferous and chiefly sedimentary, with igneous rock intruded into it. This, universally, is what we find - usually between the Precambrian and the Cambrian. Most Precambrian rock is of metamorphic composition and, with rare exceptions [31], contains no fossils. Typically, there is a stratigraphic break. As Ager observes: "Very commonly around the world one finds an unfossiliferous quartzite conformably below fossiliferous Lower Cambrian and unconformably above a great variety of Precambrian rocks. .. . [Indeed] it is not only the quartzite, but the whole deepening succession that tends to turn up almost everywhere, i.e . a ...
86. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... " "The great activity of international trade which, during the Middle Bronze Age, had been characteristic of the eastern Mediterranean and most of the lands of the Fertile Crescent, suddenly stopped in all this vast area... In all the sites in Western Asia examined up to now a hiatus or a period of extreme poverty broke the stratigraphic and chronological sequence of the strata... In most countries the population suffered great reduction in numbers; in others settled living was replaced by a nomadic existence." [Thus writes Schaeffer.] Velikovsky continues, "In Asia Minor the end of the Middle Bronze came suddenly, and a rupture between that age and the Late ...
87. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... appreciates that catastrophism (albeit without the supernatural element) is very much a part of modern uniformitarianism, not an alternative to it. Nowhere is this more apparent than with the extinctions that pervade Earth and Life through Time, and form the subject of the whole of the later book. In a sense, that is implicit in dividing the stratigraphical record into periods, each characterised by different flora and fauna. Norman Newell, in his 1962 Presidential Address to the Paleontological Society, pointed out that the stratigraphic record is punctuated by numerous brief episodes of mass extinction of organisms followed by invasions of new forms into vacated ecological zones'. Of course, some of these were just local ...
88. The Lion Gate at Mycenae [Journals] [Pensee]
... 1330 B.C . and by Mylonas to the mid-thirteenth century B.C . (10), with the bulk of the scholarly world in general agreement, a major error in chronological attribution may have been made. The sheer repetition and perpetuation of the above dating may also have played a role in reinforcing a possible illusory authenticity. Stratigraphical evidence resulting from site excavation in depth has proven to be a major tool for the archaeologist in establishing a system of comparative chronology. The system is however, not without its pitfalls (11). First, there is the problem of establishing a relative (12) chronology or proper sequential arrangement of artistic objects based upon evolution of ...

... provided the dates for LH IIIB as well as LH IIIA [11]. The work of Furumark [12] further entrenched the absolute chronology of the pottery categories but once again this resulted primarily from the synchronisms that can be established by comparison and correlation of Mycenaean objects found in datable Egyptian contexts and of Egyptian objects recovered in observed Mycenaean stratigraphic associations' [13]. As far back as 1897 Tsountas [14] warned scholars not to ignore the unsettled state of Egyptian chronology' when enlisting the aid of Egyptology in dating Mycenaean products and, in 1960, Cook [15] again reminded students of Greek pottery of the difficulties concerning the establishment of relative and absolute chronologies ...
