Dealer Admits Smuggling Egyptian Treasures to US:

archaeologicalnews:

NEW YORK:

An antiques dealer pleaded guilty Wednesday to smuggling ancient Egyptian treasures, including a coffin, to the United States.

Mousa Khouli, also known as Morris Khouli, aged 38, faces up to 20 years of prison for “smuggling Egyptian cultural property into the United States and making a  false statement to law enforcement authorities,” the federal prosecutor’s office in New York said.

Khouli arranged for the purchase and smuggling of a Greco-Roman style Egyptian coffin, a three-part nesting coffin set, a set of Egyptian funerary boats, and Egyptian limestone figures between October 2008 and November 2009, officials said.

The antiquities were exported from Dubai into the United States with false documentation. Khouli also settled a civil complaint seeking forfeiture of Egyptian and Iraqi artifacts, prosecutors said.

SWEDISH STONEHENGE? STONE STRUCTURE SPURS DEBATE:

archaeologicalnews:

Ancient Scandinavians dragged 59 boulders to a seaside cliff near what is now the Swedish fishing village of Kåseberga. They carefully arranged the massive stones — each weighing up to 4,000 pounds (1,800 kilograms) — in the outline of a 220-foot-long (67-meter) ship overlooking the Baltic Sea.

Archaeologists generally agree this megalithic structure, known as Ales Stenar (“Ale’s Stones”), was assembled about 1,000 years ago, near the end of the Iron Age, as a burial monument. But a team of researchers now argues it’s really 2,500 years old, dating from the Scandinavian Bronze Age, and was built as an astronomical calendar with the same underlying geometry as England’s Stonehenge.

Medieval Abbot's Grave Discovered at Furness Abbey

Medieval Abbot's Grave Discovered at Furness Abbey:

archaeologicalnews:

The full uninterrupted grave of a Cistercian abbot has been discovered by archaeologists at the ruins of Furness Abbey, one of Britain’s most influential medieval monasteries.

The skeleton was found by Oxford Archaeology North who were carrying out excavations during emergency repairs at the Cumbrian site.

The rare find could date as far back as the 12th century. The abbot’s body was buried with a very rare medieval gilded crosier and jewelled ring.

English Heritage curator Susan Harrison told Channel 4 News: “This is really significant because it’s the first time under modern conditions that an abbatial or abbot burial has been discovered intact with so much detail and information - from the skeleton to the mark of his office, his crosier, his ring, but also fragments of textile in there.”

Oxford Archaeology North’s Stephen Rowland told Channel 4 News: “It’s extremely rare to find such a burial. Nationally he’s an important person; he’s a member of the Cistercian order which was the most powerful monastic order in England. He would have had estates across the Furness Peninsula, into Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire, control over large amounts of resources. He was a bit like a feudal overlord.”

Archaeologists Uncover Graves of National Significance Near Meigle:

archaeologicalnews:

Archaeologists have discovered a historic site of national significance beneath the sandy soil of rural Perthshire.

“A series of burial mounds have been excavated — thought to represent an ancient barrow cemetery — at Bankhead of Kinloch near Meigle.

Both the village and the surrounding area of Strathearn have proved a treasure trove of Pictish sites and artefacts over the years.

Despite the increase in the identification of these sites through aerial photography surveys since the 1970s, they are still generally rare and so are of immense significance.”

Under PPG 16 ‘Archaeology and Planning’, published in November 1990, archaeological remains were brought into the planning system for the first time and must now be taken into account from the beginning of the development control process. This work methodically describes the legal protection applicable to each type of archaeological site and the place of archaeology in each part of the planning system.

Babylon Chronicle: War Over Babylon Oil Pipeline Continues! :

tammuz:

April 20, 2012

Yesterday, Bakir Hama Siddeeq, the Head of the Tourism and Archeology Committee in the Iraqi Parliament threatened to take the Iraqi Ministry of Oil to the Federal Court of Iraq to prevent the installation of an oil pipeline in the ancient city of Babylon.

Siddeeq told news agencies that the the parliamentary committee will sue the Ministry of Oil if it refuses to cancel the project. He also stated that the oil pipeline will destroy Babylon’s chances of being admitted to the UNESCO World Heritage List.  

No clear response from the Ministry of Oil has been issued yet despite the fact that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki asked the Ministry to stay away from the ancient city of Babylon and change the path of the proposed oil pipeline.

Dead Men Talking: Review: Missing & Murdered: A Personal Adventure in Forensic Anthropology:

dead-men-talking:

Missing & Murdered

What can human bones tell us of a person’s life, or even death? How can information from bones solve mysteries both modern and ancient? And what makes the study of skeletonised human remains so imperative in southern Africa?

The answers to these and other questions are contained in Missing & Murdered, which lays bare the fascinating world of forensic anthropology. As the popularity of TV programmes such as the CSI trilogy and Silent Witness attests, people are fascinated by forensic science as a means of solving crimes, and in this book Alan G. Morris follows the pathway into forensics via the fields of anthropology and anatomy. He makes the practice of forensic anthropology, the skills base of skeletal biology and the study of archaeological skeletons hugely accessible to the layperson in a series of fascinating cases, from muti murders and political killings to thework of the Missing Persons Task Team.

Manuscripts and scrolls from Timbuktu, if I’m not mistaken, which…I might well be. 

However, even if I am, these are still nifty, even if they are tragically quite water-damaged, at least parts of them remain intact.

Archaeologists Dig Up Dog Tale:

archaeologicalnews:

“You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog, lying all the time.”

It was the twist Dr. Greger Larsen chose to illustrate debates, studies and competing conclusions about how and when the wolf turned into a cocker spaniel, poodle or border collie.

Larsen was one of 13 presenters Friday at a symposium on the human-dog relationship as part of the 77th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

More than 3,000 archaeologists are attending the meeting at Memphis Cook Convention Center, where 2,000 sessions are scheduled through Sunday. Subjects range from mound-building by the Mississippian Native American culture to the use of mind-altering substances from ancient cultures to the present.

Archaeologists Examining Riverbed Discoveries After Eagle & Phenix Dam Breach:

archaeologicalnews:

“Archaeologists explored the bed of the Chattahoochee River Friday afternoon, taking pictures and video of their discoveries to record the history of river and the mills it once powered.

Industrial archaeologist Dean Wood said he and his colleagues from Southern Research of Waverly Hall uncovered several pyramid-like wood and rock structures just north of the wooden dams that may have been part of a ferrying system used to move materials out to build the dams, but they would have to remove the structures and do a tree ring analysis on the wood toe to determine the age.

“It’s all interesting,” said Wood, adding that the structures and old wooden dams they’ve uncovered since the Eagle & Phenix Dam breach tell the story of the early mill owners and their attempts to harness the power of the river. “

Neolithic farmers brought deer to Ireland

The origins of the iconic Irish red deer was a controversial topic. Was this species native to Ireland, or introduced?

In a new study that was published 30 March 2012 in the scientific journal Quaternary Science Reviews, a multinational team of researchers from Ireland, Austria, UK and USA have finally answered this question.

Comparing DNA

By comparing DNA from ancient bone specimens to DNA obtained from modern animals, the researchers discovered that the Kerry red deer are the direct descendants of deer present in Ireland 5000 years ago. Further analysis using DNA from European deer proves that Neolithic people from Britain first brought the species to Ireland.

Although proving the red deer is not native to Ireland, researchers believe that the Kerry population is unique as it is directly related to the original herd and are worthy of special conservation status.
