History of Polynesian Archaeology The greatest impetus to Polynesian archaeology, however, occurred in 1920 when geologist Herbert E. Gregory acceded to the directorship of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, convened the first international Pan-Pacific Science Conference, and proclaimed the study of Polynesian archaeology and anthropology should be a major research priority (Kirch 2000:20-24). The rejuvenation of stratigraphic archaeology in Polynesia, and its expansion beyond Polynesia into the western Pacific, was initially driven by a strong culture-historical orientation, encouraged by rapid success in defining considerable time depth and sequences of material culture change (whether in ceramic styles, or in fishhooks and stone adzes). As Green summarized the perspective of settlement pattern archaeology, with “...increasing concern with delineating the social aspect of the data recovered from sites..., the day has passed when such monuments or their structural features can afford to be treated only as contexts for portable artifacts and not as artifacts in their own right” (Green 1967:102). sscl.berkeley.edu /~oal/background/polyhist.htm   (5333 words)

Stanford Journal of Archaeology Newspaper advertisements in 1951 for the play Song of the River Yi (Wu 1951) said, "Invasion will definitely end in defeat: Peace must be won at any price" ¨D slogans that epitomized the theme of the underdog's fight against the savage aggressor, as it was manifested in the story of Jing Ke (Li 1975: xx-xxi). The significance of the sculpted army was of equally great magnitude to art history, archaeology, and the political uses of the ancient Chinese material culture. Archaeology again became a pursuable discipline for a barrage of new hands and minds (Guldin 1994). archaeology.stanford.edu /journal/newdraft/miller/paperpage.html   (6423 words)

Behind the Mask of Agamemnon While Schliemann's diary and newspaper and book accounts of the location and dates of his discoveries in the shaft graves are often vague and contradictory, it is clear that by the end of November he had excavated tombs containing the bodies of several Mycenaean chieftains, five of whom wore gold face masks. Late last year ARCHAEOLOGY received a manuscript from Calder restating his claim that the mask is a forgery. Because of its serious implications, ARCHAEOLOGY solicited responses from five experts, printing in full those of David A. Traill, author of Schliemann of Troy: Treasure and Deceit, and Katie Demakopoulou, former director of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. www.archaeology.org /9907/etc/mask.html   (785 words)

LEBANON’S ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE The first chair of Archaeology at AUB was held by the Danish scholar Harald Ingholt (1896-1986) from 1932 to 1937. Nevertheless, the 1966 exhibits are themselves in need of modernization in light of recent advances in popular archaeology, and new concepts and techniques of presenting the wider context of Archaeological artifacts to the public for educational purposes. Modern technology and expertise in urban archaeology is expensive, and the Hariri Foundation and UNESCO have allotted funds for the first phase of the Beirut rescue project. www.lcps-lebanon.org /pub/breview/br5/seedenbr5.html   (5494 words)

Apologetics Press - Dating in Archaeology: Challenges to Biblical Credibility Archaeology, therefore, presents a challenge to those who contend for the integrity of the Scriptures. Finally, archaeology is an imprecise science, and should not serve as the judge of biblical historicity.

Qumran Archaeology: More Grave Errors by Joe Zias The orientation of the burial with the head in the east is somewhat anomalous though identical to tomb 4 excavated by De Vaux in 1951 in the western cemetery. Thus, while having certain privileges within the community, he/she as a slave was not a full-fledged member of the sect and would not participate in its future bliss nor gain the entry to the future temple that was expected. This may explain the two anomalous burials (T 2000, T 4) as well as the lone female (T-9) excavated by De Vaux in 1951 on the northern extension of the cemetery. www.bibleinterp.com /articles/Zias_Qumran_Archaeology.htm   (1349 words)

Pamela Jane Smith She was Newnham’s Director of Studies for Archaeology and Anthropology since 1934; she had served on College committees and been briefly on the Faculty Board in 1936; and she is remembered by her students as an "excellent supervisor---gentle and organised" (Joan Lillico, First Class Honours 1935, personal correspond-ence, 1998). It was her suggestion that a Part II be instituted in archaeology and it was her endless labour that produced the desired result. The organisation and regulation of courses, the size and grading of teaching and assistant staff, the status of the Curator of the Museum and the relationship of Section A to Section B within the Tripos were being scrutinised. www.arch.cam.ac.uk /~pjs1011/Pams.html   (6701 words)

The archaeology of folk magic This is intimately related to what most people call witchcraft and involves the physical remains related to practices undertaken by the 'white' witch to protect people's property from 'fl' witches and also practices which lay-folk undertook by themselves for the same reason. The only person to have written a serious book on this is Ralph Merrifield whose Archaeology of Ritual and Magic 11 covers periods from the Neolithic to the nineteenth century - therefore he spends only a chapter, albeit a very good one, on the archaeology relating specifically to witchcraft. Many people have written interesting academic articles on the archaeology of folk magic which you will find listed in the references but Merrifield's is the only book worth getting hold of. www.whitedragon.org.uk /articles/folk.htm   (3420 words)
