	History of Conservation
		Many of the foresters associated with the BC government still had the romance of wilderness at heart, wanted to see some areas protected, and they worked to achieve their goal.
		Late in the 1980s, BC conservationists began to address the fact that mining too was an industry which could threaten wilderness.
		The campaign to save the world class wilderness of Tatshenshini in far northern BC focussed on a proposed mega mine, whose potential to generate vast amounts of deadly poisonous acid mine drainage for thousands of years endangered North America's Wildest River.

	Indus Valley Civilization - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was discovered in the 1920s and is known only from archaeological excavations, except, possibly, for Sumerian references to Meluhha, which has been proposed to correspond to the IVC.
		The mature phase of earlier village cultures is represented by Rehman Dheri and Amri.
		In the early twentieth century, this migration was forwarded in the guise of an "Aryan invasion", and when the civilization was discovered in the 1920s, its collapse at precisely the time of the conjectured invasion was seen as an independent confirmation.

		Throughout the whole of the 3rd century BC, the Island found itself in the middle of the quarrels between the Macedonian kings and the Romans.

		The area was controlled by the Scythians in the 3rd century BC and then, in 46, Romans annexed it as part of Moesia, named Scythia Minor.

	Timber Trade History
		Before 1825 most BNA timber was produced by small-scale independent operators, many of them farmers who were attracted to the work in their off-season.
		Although James COOK'S men had cut logs for masts on Vancouver I in 1778, lumbering in BC did not begin seriously until the 1850s.
		In 1910 BC production surpassed Québec's; in 1917 it surpassed the production of every other province; and by the late 1920s BC was producing half of Canada's annual cut of timber.

	Visit Italy Online
		By 2000 BC new immigrants from the east had introduced metalworking into southern Italy and Sicily; the northern Italian Polada culture of the same period left evidence of strong links with cultures north of the Alps.
		During the Bronze Age (c.1800-1000 BC), much of central and southern Italy had a unified culture known as the Apennine, characterized by large agricultural and pastoral settlements; on the southeastern coast and in Sicily evidence indicates trading contacts with the Mycenaeans.
		The diverse cultural patterns of the early Iron Age were further complicated in the late 8th century BC by the arrival of Greek colonizers in the south and in Sicily and by the appearance of the ETRUSCANS in central Italy and the Po Valley.

		- Pisistratus, Tyrant of Athens in 561, 559–556 and 546–528 BC.
		The first part of the millennium is a time a bit less colorful than others, a lull in the history of Ancient Near East, still living in the shadow of greater past times, and spending all energies in trying to recuperate from the deeply anarchic situation that was at the turn of the millennium.
		It is possible that Zoroaster lived sometime in the 13th century BC to the 11th century BC, prior to the settlement of Iranian tribes in the central and west of the Iranian Plateau.

	Recent Indus Discoveries and Highlights from Excavations at Harappa: 1998-2000
		Unlike the equally important site of Mohenjo-daro to the south, where baked bricks buildings provide an impressive vista of urban architecture, drains and wells, the ancient mounds of Harappa are characterized by imposing erosion gullies, piles of brick rubble and fragmentary walls.
		Excavations in the 1920s and 1930s exposed large areas of the urban occupation, but found only more extensive evidence of the intensive brick robbing.
		The architecture and city planning of Harappa was similar to that of Mohenjo-daro and the varieties of artifacts recovered from the excavations confirmed that these two sites represented the same cultural tradition which has come to be known as the Harappa Phase of the Indus Valley Civilization.

	People's Daily Online -- China recovers 3,000-year-old bronze vessel lost overseas

	Cayoosh Creek and Seton Beach
		Craig Lodge was a posh tennis resort that was pretty well the northernmost of the many tourist-oriented businesses that opened up when the Pacific Great Eastern was opened up as far as Newport (Squamish), making it easier for urbanites from rainy Vancouver to escape to Lillooet for some warmth and outdoor activity.
		The BC Archives credits for these photos do not give the photographer, but I recognize the handprinted captions - they're by Artie Phair.
		Locals will note that the wharves in view are at an opening in the lake that is no longer there, being the original outlet of Seton Lake into Seton Creek; today's outlet is farther over towards the cliffs on the farther shore, which drains into both Seton Creek as well as the Seton Canal.
