	Caribbean Prehistory (continued)
		This period, dating from around 2000 years ago* to European contact, approximately 500 years ago*, was characterized in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by distinct cultural periods, which were originally separated on the basis of different ceramic styles and other cultural manifestations.
		Magens Bay-Salt River 1 (1,400 to 800 years ago*): Contemporary with the Puerto Rican subseries of the Ostionoid period, in the Virgin Islands, is the Magens Bay-Salt River subseries.
		Chican Subseries (800 to 500 years ago): The last three hundred years* of prehistoric occupation in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands may be traced to the historic Native American culture called Taino, which was first encountered by the Spanish on the first voyages of discovery in the 1490s.

		The first three-dimensional sculptures, in antler, occurred as early as 4,500 years ago, and by a thousand years later a great variety of sculptures, engravings and ornaments in antler, tooth, bone, shell and stone point to a developing social concern with symbols of wealth and spiritual power.
		With the stabilization of sea levels after about 5,000 years ago and the establishment of optimum populations of salmon and other fish, people could become increasingly specialized in their subsistence pursuits, investing greater time and energy in a single type of resource.
		The frequency of midden burials diminishes in the last 1,500-1,000 years, probably reflecting a shift towards historical methods of disposing of the dead -- in trees, mortuary poles (figure), grave houses, and caves.

		The bow and arrow were introduced into the area around 1300 years ago as shown by the introduction of the smaller Rosegate projectile point (5% of total on Forest) designed to tip arrows as opposed to atlatl darts.
		This type of projectile point remained dominate until about 700 years ago when it was replaced by Desert Series (6%) and Gunther Barbed (10%) arrow points which were in use until the later part of the modern period.

		Between 250 and 200 million years ago magnesium rich molten rock (magma) from deep within the earth intruded on this earlier rock and hardened into periodite and gabbro which form the core of Canyon Mountain today.
		Around 180 million years ago the area was again submerged and the Aldrich Mountain chain was formed by a series of under sea lava flows.
		The period from 2 million to 10,000 years ago is known as the Pleistocene.

	Fossilised Embryos — 500 Million Years Old
		Evidence from fossilised embryos of worm-like creatures that lived 500 million years ago shows that embryos developed then in much the same way as their living relatives do today.
		Understanding this indicates that the changes in embryological processes that underlie animal evolution must have occurred long before these fossils were living 500 million years ago, and even before the earliest fossil remains of any animals that have been found in the geological record.
		The possibility of being able to describe the life-cycle of a creature that lived 500 million years ago is no longer in the realms of fantasy.

	Geology of the Falls - Niagara Parks, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
		However, about 10,500 years ago, through an interplay of geological effects including alternating retreats and re-advances of the ice, and rebounding of the land when released from the intense pressure of the ice (isostatic rebound), this process was interrupted.
		For the next 5,000 years Lake Erie remained only half the size of today, the Niagara River was reduced to about 10% of its current flow, and a much-reduced Falls stalled in the area of the Niagara Glen.
		About 5,500 years ago the meltwaters were once again routed through southern Ontario, restoring the river and Falls to their full power.

		Five hundred years ago, Portuguese conquistadores in shining armour used their modern weapons against indigenous peoples armed with bows and arrows.
		Towards the end of March this year, indigenous peoples throughout the country left their villages and began to travel in the direction of Porto Seguro, the place where Brazil was allegedly "discovered", thus going in the opposite direction of the one taken in 1500 by the European colonizers.
		During the 4-day Conference, the indigenous peoples managed to be at the forefront of the news coverage on the 500 years, showing their strength and indignation regarding the official celebrations.

	News in Science - Ancient superflood brought climate chaos - 15/08/2003
		That single event was likely responsible for the most dramatic climate change of the last 10,000 years, according to a report by a Canadian team led by Professor Garry Clarke, a geophysicist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, which appears today in the journal Science.
		The 'superflood' was enough to alter ocean circulation in the Northern Hemisphere: analysis of ice cores taken in Greenland reveal that for the next 200 years or so, the mean temperature dropped by 5°C, snow accumulation decreased sharply and forest fires became more frequent.
		The team said that on the basis of radiocarbon dating, a full torrent was finally unleashed about 8,450 years ago.

		A scrap of antler has proved that Silbury Hill, the largest man-made mound in Europe, was completed around 4,500 years ago.
		The first scientific evidence for the date of one of the most puzzling of our ancient monuments is one of two antlers found at the summit of the 128ft hill.
		While the first phase of building at Silbury may be centuries older, the dating of the antler proves the structure was complete almost 1,000 years before the last arrangement of the boulders at Stonehenge.

	Augusta Georgia: technology@ugusta: Ice cores suggest abrupt climate change 12,500 years ago 10/02/98
		James White, a climatologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, said that an analysis of new ice cores from the Antarctica show that the south polar area went through a rapid temperature increase at the same time that the north polar region was also warming.
		The findings, he said, also increases the urgency for researchers to understand climate shifts because it appears they could be abrupt and happen all over the Earth at the roughly the same time.
		Stocker wrote in Science that the study suggests that warming in Antarctica ``may be synchronous with the well-documented abrupt warming 12,500 years ago in the northern hemisphere.''

		It's a relationship that has ranged from their being adored as gods in the Nile valley to their slinking into medieval witchhood and rising again to be revered in poet T.S. Eliot's verses and in the stage show "Cats." Today, more than 30 percent of American homes host a cat.
		What may be surprising is that there hasn't been evidence of an earlier relationship with cats, she added, noting that indications of human-dog relations go back 12,000 years.
		Cat bones about 9,000 years old were also found near Jericho, but there was no indication of domestication, though that may have been under way in several places at about the same time.

	DNA shows genetic variability of the nene lost more than 500 years ago, not during the 20th century
		Consider the plight of the lonely nene goose: Fated to occupy just one island in all the world; reduced in numbers to fewer than 30 individuals by the middle of the last century; each bird as closely related to the others as human siblings.
		Research reported in today’s edition of the journal Science suggests that a boom in the human population between 900 and 350 years ago may have impacted and reduced the population size of the nene during that time, and consequently diminished the species’ genetic variation.
		It is widely believed that the ecological changes associated with human interference contributed to extinctions of many bird species in the islands 500 to a thousand years ago.
