Topic: Archaeology news updates Posted: 30-Mar-2011 at 17:01 |
Look forward to it....and in the case above I smell an 'anthro' on that team.... because your right the generalist 'archy'.... avoids religious and theological investigations like the Juarez clap. Unless they have been specifically sub trained (and then funded by religious institutions) and generally that's the lads from the Private religious schools..with that in their background.
Thanks

I may be right, but you say it better.

I've always thought the worldwide Dragon myths were also fossil inspired.

If this is the same person, she has figured out that the Greeks may have been the first paleontologists.
She went back over 50 years of site notes from other excavations and found that fossils were found in almost every major excavation, but only noted in the site notes.

Archaeologists and Native Americans team up to interpret the past, shape the future
I am always pleased to see this as it does a number of things. But most importantly it shows that arcaeologists who cooperative and coordinate and 'work' with native leaders and render respect, as they deal with digs and artifacts, are the ones who will be respected in return. It has nothing to with religion or even spirituality imo...but just simple respect for anothers beliefs system and that person's past.
People generally have a pride in their past and when it's not trampled on.. chances are they remain grateful in return. Hence the reason for NAGPRA and like agreements. It has proven to be a winner for all concerned.

Fascinating story comming out of Greece where a new clay tablet discovered-2010 has apparently proven to be the oldest known example of writing to come from Europe. And it's from the period in which the ancient Grecian mythological epics were alleged to have occurred.

This is probably true, many people even say that blonde hair, blue eyes originated in what is now afghanistan, northern pakistan, kashmir, so these people probably went to europe at some point in ancient times
Genetically there are still lots of similarities between northern south asians and eastern/northern europeans, even the language similarity between slavic and sanskrit is interesting

There is a problem here that I don't see addressed. The Basque. There are quite a few scholars who believe the Basque language to be at least 30,000 years old. The Basque are not Kashmiri and it's widely accepted that the Basque were in Europe before the IE migration. Or has that now also been "revised".

Language was older than we knew!This one i am working with,reminds me that lot of people were dummy and deaf so they use primordial hand's signs to talk!Also some ordinary lines of human body were also included,simplified and designed better than you can get them on international graphic competition! When and why did we start speaking?!?

An up date on a fascinating work down in Mexico...I contiue to follow this for the reasons cited in the article not necessarily because there have been spectacular discoveries of glorious treasure or mummys...but because this is perhaps archaeology at it's finest....mud dirt and digging...recording and painstaking examination sometimes inch by inch.
