 Category:Archaeological cultures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An archaeological culture is a pattern of similar artefacts and features found within a specific area over a limited period of time.
As the archaeological cultures refer only to material items, sometimes even the purpose of which is uncertain, the word "culture" can be misleading.
This category currently also includes archaeological industries which are similar to archaeological cultures but are limited only to artefact types.

 TOLERANCE: STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
As demographic changes and population shifts continue to occur, as older divisions of city and suburb are melded into interdependent metropolitan areas, and as “cultural islands” are exposed to outside forces, there is a consequent need for humans to learn to live together more harmoniously, and more humanely.
In spite of the homogeneity within the Wilton community, the Wilton schools still present  a microcosm of the human relations challenges presented in a more diverse culture.
From a moral point of view and from the perspective of sound educational preparation, the Wilton Public Schools must actively promote tolerance and improved human relations within the schools and the community.

 The Digital Roman Forum Project of the UCLA Cultural Virtual Reality Laboratory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In this paper, I will focus on the Roman Forum and use it to address this conference’s theme—reconstructing the archaeological landscape with digital technology—by presenting it as a case study of the relationship between digital and what might be called “pre-digital” archaeological reconstruction.
Our philosophy about modeling a cultural heritage site from the past like the Roman Forum is that it is impossible to claim that you have achieved complete accuracy with respect to what the ancient monument originally looked like.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which gave the UCLA Cultural Virtual Reality Laboratory a generous grant in 2001-2002 that enabled it to complete the bulk of the Roman Forum model.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Wild dingoes descended from domestic dogs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Wilton, with colleagues including Peter Savolainen at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, studied a highly variable portion of mitochondrial DNA from more than 200 dingoes from all states in Australia, from dogs from all continents and from wolves.
The new date derived from the genetic analysis of 5000 years is consistent with this, Wilton says, and with the expansion of the Austronesian culture into the islands of South East Asia, about 6000 years ago.
Wilton thinks it would not have taken long for dingoes to become the wild animals they are today.

I guess for a final analysis of this however, I would have to meet a wider variety of Europeans, because it is possible that this collection was just further to the left on the political spectrum than the rest of Europe.
Hearing the Europeans talk about the effects of American culture, I could not but help remembering Marx’s quote in his infamous manifesto about the weapons of the bourgeoisie being not ones with gun powder, but ones of a commercial variety.
To that question I would say that our cultural differences are far deeper than the shows we watch or the clothes we eat.

 Does Extinction Loom for Australia's Wild Dingoes?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Genetic evidence suggests Australian dingoes descended from a small group of ancient dogs—perhaps a single pregnant female—brought to Australia from Indonesia about 5,000 years ago.
Alan Wilton, a senior lecturer in genetics at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, said pure dingoes are in decline mainly because they breed freely with feral European domestic dogs, creating fertile crossbreeds.
Wilton and his colleagues recently analyzed the DNA of hundreds of wild dingoes across Australia and found that nearly 80 percent of them are crossbreeds.
