WAC Inter-Congress in Beijing, China: Heritage Management in East and South East Asia
The aim of this Inter-Congress is to bring together heritage managers and academics (archaeology, cultural anthropology, tourism, town planning) from across, or with an interest in, the East and South East Asian Region. Special consideration will be given to student participation. It is anticipated that post Inter-Congress tours will be arranged to [a] Anyang, Luoyang, and Longmen Grotto, and [b] Xi'an. It is intended that there will be at least one book produced from the Inter-Congress. Depending on funding, this will be produced in both Chinese and English or Chinese with extended abstracts of presentations made in English.

WAC's Global Libraries Program is hard at work helping to develop the archaeological literary collections of low-income institutions around the globe. We recently mailed out a shipment of books and journals to each of the 41 libraries in the program. But, our member institutions are always in need of more monetary and in-kind donations.
Do you have any archaeological/cultural heritage books or journals that do not particularly fit your research needs anymore? Or maybe you have a number of resources that your university now provides you with in a digital format...this is a great opportunity to make a donation of the physical copies to low-income libraries and research centers around the world.
For more information, check us out online and/or contact WAC Global Libraries Program Chair: Ashley Sands, email@example.com.
We are delighted announce a new journal for 2010, the International Journal of Paleopathology, the official journal of the Paleopathology Association. The new journal is under the editorship of Professor Jane E. Buikstra, Arizona State University, USA.

To address the damage to and destruction of archaeological sites in the developing world, Global Heritage Fund (GHF) has established Global Heritage Network (GHN) to:
To achieve this, GHN – built around Google Earth – presents site documentation, threats analysis, maps and multimedia, while the GHN Community enables collaboration between site teams, international experts, archaeologists, community and business leaders, and government authorities in order to save global heritage sites through the Preservation by Design® model of integrated Planning, Science, Community and Partnerships.
The GHN Site Database is by no means comprehensive, but focuses on an initial collection of approximately 500 globally significant sites in the developing world with either documented threats or that provide exemplar case studies of site preservation.

Bryan Gordon of the Canadian Museum of Civilization and Carleton University in Ottawa, has extended his rock art dating technique to include petroglyphs. They are much more common than pictographs and notoriously hard to date with precision. His new technique identifies hammerstone and rock art fragments and any fragment of AMS-datable bone, shell, leaf, wood or charcoal in thin levels within a 20x25 cm slot beneath or alongside the rock art. Except for dating, the technique is cheap, quite un-invasive, field-adapted and simple to learn. See: http://http-server.carleton.ca/~bgordon/Journal/Web_Journal.htm
The picture on the present state of Haiti is a gloomy one. As of July 1.5 million people still lived in tents with the hurricane season underway. Logistics are the main problem for the many humanitarian organizations at work in Haiti. The ruins and rubble of destroyed buildings are not cleared yet. Consequently the food, tents and other aid cannot reach Haitians in dire straits.The last few weeks the newspapers reported on the rising rice prices caused by the tremendous amount of food aid. Now to buy rice from abroad is cheaper than buying rice locally. That is why the UN World Food Program changed their policy. Instead of handing out rice they give out money or a voucher to the starving people to buy rice at the local market. Thus by the same token 'Cash for Work' works better then 'Food for work'. These problems are worsened by the increasing crisis over land. With so many people deceased and buried in unknown mass graves, so many displaced persons, so many buildings demolished and hardly any official records left, title deeds and land registry records, it is next to impossible to prove to whom a building belongs. All the more since some 16,000 civil servants were killed.
Perhaps these problems are some of the reasons the interest in rebuilding and reconstructing Haiti after the 12th January earthquake is clearly decreasing. The number of attendants at the 1st International Coordination Committee for the Protection of Haitian Cultural Heritage (ICC) on 7-8 July at the UNESCO'S HQ in Paris was smaller than expected: Hall XII was poorly filled. The discussions during the one and a half day meeting were rather confusing and many participants misunderstood each other. It seems that the capacity of the Ministry of Culture and its subsequent institutions, especially ISPAN (Haitian Institute for the Preservation of the National Heritage), is the main problem. In the end this was recognized by all and put as the number one recommendation. The UNESCO secretariat set up four thematic sub-groups, respectively on cultural and natural heritage, including world heritage; intangible heritage; museums, archives and libraries; cultural industries.
According to ActionAid the rebuilding reflects the wishes of donor countries – mainly the US and the EU - rather than the needs of Haitians themselves.The Haitian people must be included in the reconstructions plans, ActionAid continues. The foreign aid troops represent the western centric model for administration and political culture lead by concepts as democracy, transparency, efficiency, efficacy, science, high-tech, etc. It is no wonder that this seems to disagree with the Caribbean-French oriented style of administration and management: hierarchy, status & prestige, emphasis on personal relations, micro-management, centreperiphery, capital-countryside, etc. One of the recommendations at the ICC meeting was to encourage the international community to restrict their requests.
This is Development without Culture!
The Ministry of Culture is in great need of donor money to hire local staff and office equipment. As Mme Comeau Denis Magali, special advisor to the ministry, pointed out at the ICC meeting: the lack of internet facilities and electricity hampers them enormously in their daily activities. The second step is training that staff in basic skills: (western) management; computer literacy; language skills (basic English); accounting; budgeting; proposal writing. Some positive actions already undertaken by UNESCO include:

In June, the Council for British Archaeology was awarded a £604,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) towards a new project providing funded training for community archaeologists across the UK.The project will run for three years and will deliver 27 (9 per year) placements across the UK. These will provide on-the-job training for individuals to increase their skills and knowledge of working with communities and volunteers.
The bursaries will be aimed at individuals from any background who can demonstrate sound archaeological knowledge and experience and who wish to pursue an archaeological career specifically involving supporting communities.
The bursaries will be hosted by organisations with established track-records in supporting to communities and voluntary groups. This will benefit not only the UK's archaeology, but also the communities and volunteers who are so passionate about it.
The application was developed with support from English Heritage, and we look forward to working in partnership with a variety of partners across the UK, including English Heritage and Cadw.
The first round of bursaries will be offered from early 2011. Details of the bursaries, their locations, and how to apply will be advertised in due course. Please keep an eye on our website at http://www.britarch.ac.uk/community/bursaries or contact email@example.com.
MOnuMENTA'S "LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND MONUMENTS" PUBLIC DIALOGUE EVENT
Building upon the ratification of the European Landscape Convention by the Greek State, MOnuMENTA's programme "Local Communities & Monuments" organises a day conference - public dialogue event on the 27th of August, 19.30 at Mitropolis' Square, Chora, Naxos, titled: "Something is wrong on the landscape of Naxos. The ratification of the European Landscape Convention, precious or a lost chance for the island?"
This is the 4th event, in the last four years, and it is organized under the auspice of Naxos and Drymalia Municipalities. The main target is to present and discuss the concept of the landscape as promoted by the Convention, and build up a dialogue that will eventually lead to measures for protection, management and design of the naxian landscape by the Local Administration and the citizens.
The proceedings of the second meeting of the programme, titled: "Monuments of Naxos at risk. The citizens' voice." have already been published.

Excavations at Bective and at Black Friary took placevthis summer. Both are Abbeys, Bective was Cistercian, the second abbey to be built in Ireland, and Black Friary was a Dominican foundation. Students from Australia, Canada, Italy and the United States were joined by Irish students and interested volunteers. The excavations in Black Friary, which is in the medieval town of Trim, were facilitated and supported by the Town Council and there is great interest in the project as the site is currently unused waste ground. The remains of the Friary buildings have been traced by topographical, geophysical and resistivity surveys, and excavation has shown that the walls survive up to a height of 1.5m. It is hoped that this community archaeology project will involve local townspeople in decisions as to the use of space and the display of the remains of the buildings. Students have the option of earning credits as well on all IAFS digs, on completion of a minimum of two weeks digging, keeping a fieldwork diary and completing an essay after they finish fieldwork.

On the evening of August 3rd, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced that the Senate would not proceed to debate that chamber's version (S. 3663) of offshore oil drilling reform prior to the August recess. Opposition to the bill came from both sides of the aisle. Some thought the legislation did too much, such as removing the $75 million liability cap on damages from oil spills. Others, including environmental groups, were disappointed that it did not include a strong alternative energy standard.
The bill also did not include a provision guaranteeing full funding ($150 million per year) for the Historic Preservation Fund. The House version of oil drilling and energy policy reform, H.R. 3534, which was passed by that body last week, does contain the full funding guarantee.
Once senators return to the issue in September, it is unclear if they will take up the current legislation, or start over with a new bill. Either way, members of both parties indicate that the debate will be "wide open", with a substantial number of amendments being considered.

This comprehensive reader on indigenous archaeology shows that collaboration has become a key part of archaeology and heritage practice worldwide. Collaborative projects and projects directed and conducted by indigenous peoples independently have become standard, community concerns are routinely addressed, and oral histories are commonly incorporated into research. This volume begins with a substantial section on theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, then presents key articles from around the globe in sections on Oceania, North America, Mesoamerica and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Editorial introductions to each piece contextualize them in the intersection of archaeology and indigenous studies. This major collection is an ideal text for courses in indigenous studies, archaeology, heritage management, and related fields.
Bridging the Divide: Indigenous Communities and Archaeology into the 21st Century
The collected essays in this volume address contemporary issues regarding the relationship between Indigenous groups and archaeologists, including the challenges of dialogue, colonialism, the difficulties of working within legislative and institutional frameworks, and NAGPRA and similar legislation. The disciplines of archaeology and cultural heritage management are international in scope and many countries continue to experience the impact of colonialism. In response to these common experiences, both archaeology and indigenous political movements involve international networks through which information quickly moves around the globe. This volume reflects these dynamic dialectics between the past and the present and between the international and the local, demonstrating that archaeology is a historical science always linked to contemporary cultural concerns.
Now Available in Paperback:
Archaeologies of Placemaking: Monuments, Memories, and Engagement in Native North America
Coming soon (and available for preorder!):
This essential handbook explores the relationship between the postcolonial critique and the field of archaeology, a discipline that developed historically in conjunction with European colonialism and imperialism. In aiding the movement to decolonize the profession, the contributors to this volume—themselves from six continents and many representing indigenous and minority communities and disadvantaged countries—suggest strategies to strip archaeological theory and practice of its colonial heritage and create a discipline sensitive to its inherent inequalities. Summary articles review the emergence of the discipline of archaeology in conjunction with colonialism, critique the colonial legacy evident in continuing archaeological practice around the world, identify current trends, and chart future directions in postcolonial archaeological research. Contributors provide a synthesis of research, thought, and practice on their topic. The articles embrace multiple voices and case study approaches, and have consciously aimed to recognize the utility of comparative work and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the past. This is a benchmark volume for the study of the contemporary politics, practice, and ethics of archaeology.
Coexistence and Cultural Transmission in East Asia
This is the first volume to introduce the data, theory and methodology of contemporary archaeological work in Japan and other parts of East Asia archaeology in English to western audiences. It also introduces a new theoretical concept to archaeologists interested in the relationship between ancient cultures—coexistence. Archaeologists traditionally examine the boundaries between different cultural groups in terms conflict and dominance rather than long-term, harmonious adaptive responses. Chapters in this book cover evidence from burials, faunal and botanical analysis, as well as traditional trade goods. It is of interest to archaeologists conducting research in East Asia or studying intercultural interaction anywhere around the globe.

The book focuses on the mid-3rd millennium history of the central regions of the Carpathian Basin, corresponding to the late Vučedol and post- Vučedol period. The book is divided into two main sections, one dealing with the Makó–Kosihy–Čaka culture, the other with the Somogyvár–Vinkovci culture, both based on extensive data collection and a re-assessment of the already published material. The typo-chronological analysis of the period's known find assemblages and the conclusions drawn thereof will hopefully provide a sound basis for future studies in this field. The detailed overview of settlement patterns and burial customs, combined with a fresh interpretation of the artefactual material from a broader perspective have contributed to a better understanding of the cultural trajectories and interactions leading to the emergence of the Bronze Age in the Carpathian Basin.

This volume contains fifteen studies of gender and archaeology in Europe from different perspectives, including contributions to the research history of gender in archaeology as well as case-studies that focus on gender relations in Iberia, Scandinavia, Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. In addition, two introductory essays place these various approaches in context, explicitly considering how knowledge is created by scholars located ("situated") in time and space, how different academic traditions and regional approaches are (or are not) represented in the dominant English-language literature, and how gender research is disseminated to the public and to academic audiences.

Old World iconography from the Upper Paleolithic to the Christian era consistently features symbolic representations of both female and male protagonists in conflict with, accompanied by or transmuted partly or completely into, animals. Adversarial relationships are made explicit through hunting and sacrifice scenes, including heraldic compositions featuring a central figure grasping beasts arrayed on either side, while more implicit expressions are manifested in zoomorphic attributes (horns, headdresses, skins, etc.) and composite or hybrid figures that blend animal and human elements into a single image. The Master of Animals in Old World Iconography assembles archaeological, iconographical, and literary evidence for the Master of Animals from a variety of cultural contexts and disparate chronological horizons throughout the Old World, with a particular focus on Europe and the Mediterranean basin as well as the Indus Valley and Eurasia. The volume does not seek to demonstrate relatedness between different manifestations of this figure, even though some are clearly ontologically and geographically linked, but rather to interpret the role of this iconographic construct within each cultural context. In doing so, The Master of Animals in Old World Iconography provides an important resource for scholars confronting similar symbolic paradigms across the Old World landscape that foregrounds comparative interpretation in diverse ritual and socio-political environments.

Im vorliegenden Buch versucht der Autor die Unterschiede zwischen Bestattungen von Männern und Frauen der spätneolithischen-frühkupferzeitlichen Lengyel-Kultur (5. Jahrtausen v. Chr.) in Südtransdanubien zu bestimmen. Es werden auch die Fragen der Schichtung innerhalb der kleineren und größeren Gruppen und Dorfgemeinschaften sowie der Hierarchie bzw. der Rangordnung zwischen den begrabenen Personen und Familien untersucht. Weitere Fragen sind, ob in dieser Gesellschaft eine Handwerkerschicht existiert hat und ob spezialisierte Fachkenntnisse innerhalb der Familien weitervererbt wurden. Was ist im geistigen Gebiet Ergebnis einer autochtonen, lokalen bzw. regionalen Entwicklung, was ist "fremd" und was kann auf Kontinuität und was auf Diskontinuität hinweisen ? – stellt der Autor die Frage auf.
Die Untersuchungen zu diesem Buch wurden auf Grund der in den vergangenen 150 Jahren ausgegrabenen Gräberfelder- und gruppen der behandelten prähistorischen Gemeinschaften (Lengyel, Zengővárkony, Villánykövesd, Mórágy, usw.) mit Hilfe der archäologischen Merkmalanalyse vorgenommen.

Call for Sessions
This conference investigates the relations between people and places, focusing on the role of stories in constructing meaning and affecting human emotions. Both rural and urban landscapes contain numerous locations that become meaningful places through their association with stories. These stories may be told orally by narrators or by material design; they may be permanent or temporary. The stories may be linked, for example, to the vegetation, the geology, the wild life, the cultural heritage, the mundane built environment, or metaphysical creatures. Whether such stories are historically accurate, purposefully invented or created entirely in residents' or visitors' minds is however less important than their potential to touch human beings.
Main aims of the conference
The conference will take place over three days and involve plenary lectures, parallel seminars, site-specific art and performed events. It will be possible to extend the stay in order to attend the annual Harvest Celebrations on Öland.
Please send your ideas for sessions or any other suggestions for the conference to email@example.com.
The 43rd Annual Chacmool Conference is hosted by the Chacmool Archaeological Association and the Department of Archaeology, University of Calgary.
It has been 15 years since the "Public or Perish" Chacmool Conference. This conference succeeded in highlighting the importance of making archaeology a publicly accessible discipline and predicted the intensification of public archaeology projects. It seems an apt time for a follow-up. Public interest in archaeology is unquestionably strong and it is up to archaeologists to present archaeology in a form compatible with that interest. This is not, exclusively, a "Public Archaeology" conference though this subject is expected to contribute a significant number of papers. Some sessions are instead concerned with various ways of making archaeological research relevant to a public audience including the increasingly prevalent use of blogs, web-based resources, and popular publication. Other sessions are intended to act on this ethos and include open general interest, current research and culture history papers presented in a manner accessible to a wide, potentially non-academic audience.

5. Excerpts from the newsletters of other archaeological associations (used with permission)
5 (a) SALON
Salon 239: 9 August 2010
World Heritage decisions
At its 2010 meeting in Brasilia, capital of Brazil, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee inscribed fifteen new cultural heritage sites on the Word Heritage list, five natural heritage sites and one 'mixed'. Reports from the meeting said that a concerted effort was made this year to redress 'a perceived bias towards Europe's well-documented cultural hotspots and recognize unique areas in developing countries hitherto overlooked'. As a result, only two new European heritage sites were inscribed — Amsterdam's Grachtengordel (Canal Circle) and the city of Albi, in France.
Among the other sites inscribed were an imperial palace in Vietnam, temples in China, an Australian penal colony, a historic bazaar in Iran, fourteenth-century villages in South Korea, an eighteenth-century astronomical observatory in India and the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Test Site in the Marshall Islands. The full list of sites can be found on the UNESCO website.
Four sites were added to the World Heritage List of Sites in Danger, including Florida's Everglades, but the Galapagos Islands were removed from the list of thirty-one sites on the danger list, despite UNESCO's own consulting body on heritage matters stating that the archipelago was still under threat.
Karul also called on UNESCO to press the Turkish authorities more strongly to fulfil the country's obligations under international agreements it has signed, particularly the European Convention for the Protection of Archaeological Heritage, signed in Malta in 1992. As part of its decision to keep Istanbul on the list, the World Heritage Committee has asked Turkey to report back to it on plans to relieve the city's traffic burden, to protect Istanbul's traditional wooden houses, to restore the city walls and to conduct independent environmental impact studies on the effects on the city's historic environment of major transport projects such as the Golden Horn (Haliç) metro line and the building of road tunnels under the Bosphorus Strait.
Eighteen sites that had been nominated for World Heritage Site status were not inscribed, including the UK's nomination of 'Darwin's Landscape Laboratory'. Supporters of the bid argued that Down House and its surrounding woods and fields have outstanding universal value as the laboratory in which Darwin made observations and conducted the experiments that led him to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection — a theory that has had a 'profound influence on the life sciences, medicine, agriculture, philosophy, the creative arts and general views of humankind's relation to other living creatures in the natural world'.
The World Heritage Committee decided that, although Darwin's Landscape Laboratory was very strong in terms of recognising scientific achievement, further study and analysis was needed before the site could be considered for World Heritage designation. The Committee voted to defer the nomination back to the UK authorities for these issues to be addressed.
Our sites need protection too, say Aboriginal leaders
The inscription of eleven Australian Convict Sites in the 2010 list, including Old Government House, Hyde Park Barracks and Port Arthur in Tasmania, has been greeted with anger by members of the Aboriginal community, who have asked why '200 years of white history' has resulted in so many nominations, while 'the evidence of 50,000 years of human existence in Australia is in danger of extinction'. 'That suggests a strong ethnocentric bias towards everything Anglo-Saxon and a prejudice or ignorance about the Aboriginal past and a lack of understanding of its value', said Michael Mansell, director of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre.
Michael Mansell pointed to Australia's endangered rock art heritage as worthy of immediate protection and said that the lack of Aboriginal sites on the list could be blamed on the fact that there were no indigenous people on the board that decides on the country's UNESCO nominations.
The penal sites were selected 'from thousands established by the British Empire on Australian soil in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries' as 'the best surviving examples of large-scale convict transportation and the colonial expansion of European powers through the presence and labour of convicts'.
Australia's earliest contact rock art discovered
Australian academics and members of the Aboriginal community working together to record and protect rock art in the Wellington Range, Arnhem Land, have stumbled across the oldest 'contact rock art' yet discovered in Australia. This depicts a south-east Asian sailing vessel known as a prau, and a large beeswax snake overlying the ship has been radiocarbon dated by Stewart Fallon at the Australian National University (ANU) to between AD 1624 and 1674, providing a minimum age for the sailing vessel painting.
The discovery was made by SALON Fellow Paul Taçon (Griffith University), Ronald Lamilami (Senior Traditional Owner) and Sally May (ANU) as part of their fieldwork for the ARC-funded 'Picturing Change: 21st-century perspectives on recent Australian rock art' project. So far, some 1,200 individual paintings and beeswax figures have been found in the area under study.
Historians and archaeologists have long speculated that south-east Asian ships must have visited the northern parts of Australia long before European settlement, but this is the first dated evidence. 'This part of Arnhem Land is well known for its south-east Asian heritage and extensive pioneering archaeological research undertaken by Campbell Macknight, although rock art was not a focus of his early archaeological research', said Dr May.
The Djulirri site where the ship depiction was found 'has more diverse contact period rock art than any other site in Australia', said Professor Taçon. 'Besides paintings of south-east Asian ships, there are European tall ships and many other forms of watercraft, all of which can be placed in chronological sequence.' The research will be published in a forthcoming issue of the journal Australian Archaeology.
Humans in the Philippines 67,000 years ago
Possibly the earliest human fossil in the Asia-Pacific region has been found in Callao Cave in Cagayan province, Luzon, in the Philippines, dating from 67,000 years ago. The remains of the so-called Tabon Man of Palawan, the archipelago's earliest human remains until this discovery, date from 50,000 years ago. Uranium-series dating was used to establish the age of the remains and the results have been published in the journal Human Evolution. The discovery was made by a team of archaeologists led by Armand Mijares, of the University of the Philippines-Diliman, who said that Callao Man, or his ancestors, probably reached Luzon from what is now Indonesia by raft. The remains of butchered animals were found in the same layer of sediment, but no stone tools. 'We can only speculate that they were using different tools. From our initial analysis of the cut marks on the animal bones, they could have used organic tools such as bamboo which is ubiquitous in the region', Mijares said.
The Stone Age seafarers of the Mediterranean
Hesperia 79 (2010), the journal of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, has published evidence that early humans (such as Homo heidelbergensis) navigated from Africa to Crete at least 130,000 years ago. The evidence, in the form of Lower Palaeolithic stone tools, was found by members of a team of archaeologists led by Professor Thomas Strasser, of the Department of Art and Art History at Providence College, USA, and Dr Eleni Panagopoulou, of the Greek Ministry of Culture, at nine sites on the island. The survey team surveyed caves and rock shelters near the mouths of freshwater streams along a stretch of the south-western coast of Crete facing Libya. Up to 300 pieces were found at each site, and the geological contexts at five of the sites have enabled the finds to be dated to at least 130,000 years ago, though some of the hand axes, cleavers and scrapers could be much older, as they closely resemble hand axes fashioned in Africa about 800,000 years ago by early hominins.
By this period, Crete had already been an island for several million years. The journey from Africa would have involved an open-sea crossing of some 200 miles. The Cretan finds add to a growing body of evidence for early sea journeys: tools that look Palaeolithic have been made on the island of Gavdos, off the south coast of Crete, and the much earlier date of 1.3 million years ago has been proposed for occupation at Atapuerca, near Burgos, in northern Spain, perhaps the result of a relatively short sea journey across the Straits of Gibraltar.
SALON fellow Curtis Runnels, of the Boston University Archaeology Department and the Palaeolithic expert on the Plakias survey team, says these finds 'are a first step on the path of research leading to a better understanding of the movements of early prehistoric peoples among the Mediterranean islands and beyond'.
Salon 238: 26 July 2010
Italy ends funding for archaeological bodies
Merging heritage bodies to save money is a better solution perhaps than the response of the Italian government to the challenge of reducing its £1.5 trillion national debt; it has ceased its funding to a number of research institutes, including the Istituto Storico Italiano per il Medioevo (the Rome Institute for Medieval Italian History), the Istituto per la Storia e l'Archeologia della Magna Grecia (the Institute for the History and Archaeology of Ancient Greece, based in Taranto) and, perhaps most seriously of all, the Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene (the Italian Archaeological School at Athens, known as SAIA). The latter has just celebrated its centenary, having been founded in 1909 and having served as a graduate training school for many of Italy's leading archaeologists and historians of antiquity, including officials of the Italian Archaeological Superintendence. More recently it has served to train conservation architects engaged in the restoration, preservation and study of ancient Greek monuments, and it has mounted major excavations at Pale (Cephalonia), Poliochni (Lemnos) and the Cretan sites of Ayia Triadha, Phaistos, Monastiraki Apodolou, Thronos, Prinias and Gortyna. SAIA is now trying to raise private funding for the continuity of its activities, library and archive.
The Italian government is also planning to privatise a huge range of state-owned assets, including Rome's Villa Giulia, home to the National Museum of Etruscan Archaeology, and the former royal palace in Palermo, Sicily. Salvatore Settis, the archaeologist and head of the prestigious Pisa-based university, the Scuola Normale Superiore, has denounced the sales as 'draining and dismantling the state', adding that 'the country hasn't realised that we are all having our pockets picked'. The scale of the sell-off reveals the range of assets owned by the Italian state. They include the island of Sant'Angelo della Polvere, in the Venetian lagoon, home to a ruined Benedictine monastery, parts of Rome's Porta Portese flea market, beaches on Lake Como and ski resorts in Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the Dolomites. The concern amongst conservationists is that new owners will want to develop assets that have been protected up to now.

Happisburgh: 'the earliest known settlement in northern Europe'
A little bit of local rivalry was sparked by the report published in Nature last week by Simon Parfitt and colleagues from University College London announcing that they had discovered 78 flint tools and flakes at a coastal site near Happisburgh that date from between 814,000 and 970,000 years ago, which makes them at least 100,000 years older than the previous oldest stone tools from a UK site, also found by Simon and his colleagues at Pakefield, Suffolk, in 2008.
As a consequence, Happisburgh now boasts of being the 'earliest known human settlement in northern Europe', though settlement is perhaps stretching a point: as at Pakefield, the tools were probably left by hunter-gatherers on what was then part of the flood plain and marshland bordering one of the ancient courses of the River Thames. The Happisburgh hunter gatherers shared the landscape with rhinos, hyenas and mammoths, whose fossil bones have also been found at the site, and endured a climate not unlike that of southern Scandinavia, where the winters are around 3ºC colder on average than in Britain today. The only hominim known to have been living in Europe at this time was the now-extinct Homo antecessor species, which is known mainly from sites in Spain.
Professor Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum and the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project said that the discovery showed that ancient humans were better adapted to surviving colder conditions than previously thought, and were almost certainly advanced enough to wear rudimentary clothing, build shelter and make fire.
Has one of the central questions about the British Neolithic been answered?
Despite a century of research, archaeologists still disagree about how farming began in Britain, with some arguing that it was a result of indigenous groups adopting the practice via trade and exchange and others contending that it was the consequence of a migration of farmers from mainland Europe. SALON fellow Stephen Shennan, along with co-authors Mark Collard, Kevan Edinborough and Mark G Thomas, now think they might have the answer. In a paper published in The Journal of Archaeological Science (Volume 37, Issue 4, pages 671—900, April 2010) they present evidence for a marked and rapid increase in population density in southern England and in central Scotland around 6000 cal BP, which is the time when cultivated grain first appears in Britain. They argue that this finding is best explained by the migrant farmer hypothesis, with two sets of farmers from the Continent independently colonizing England and Scotland at this time.
Based on ethnographic data, the authors argue that farming usually supports much higher population densities in temperate regions than hunting and gathering and that the timing and rate of change in population size should provide clues as to the date and nature of the change to domesticated husbandry. They also reasoned that the number of monuments and settlements at any given period in prehistory could be used as a proxy for population size.
Plotting carbon-dated sites by 100-year time slices revealed that between 8000 and 6100 cal BP all regions of Britain were sparsely populated. Then, between 6100 and 5400 cal BP there was a dramatic increase in population density. South-west England was the first region to experience an increase. It was followed in the succeeding century by central Scotland. Subsequently, nearly all the regions of Britain experienced an increase in population density. Post-5400 cal BP, there were complex and varied demographic patterns.
Because each map covers 100 years, the authors say that it is difficult to be precise about how much time elapsed between the two migrations, but that the gap was probably less than a century. They also argue for rapid adoption of farming practices by the indigenous population of Britain, rather than the model proposed by some archaeologists (such as SALON fellow Julian Thomas) that sees domesticated animals and crops used initially for occasional rituals and not becoming economic staples for hundreds of years.
The authors conclude that 'the case for believing that the Neolithic transition in Britain was mediated by a large influx of farmers from continental Europe is compelling. The migrants' arrival resulted in sudden and dramatic economic, demographic and social change that seems to have led to a "boom-to-bust" cycle lasting 600 to 700 years, with the initial rapid rise in population followed by an equally rapid decline, heralding the very different cultural patterns of the later Neolithic.'

Shurtape FP-96 General Purpose Kraft Packaging Tape is a general purpose brown paper tape used for packaging, binding, splicing, holding, tabbing, carton sealing, reinforcing, banding and patching for a variety of substrates. The tape features a strong, flexible and conformable backing with high cross-direction tensile strength. Shurtape FP 96 has an aggressive, high tack adhesive with excellent holding power and excellent quick stick, particularly effective in cold weather. The tape color blends well with cardboard and Kraft cartons and unlike traditional film packaging tapes the tape can be torn by hand. Resists curling, abrasion, water, solvents and oil. It also is a good choice for "Shingling" (tape-on-tape) applications. FP 96 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape and does not need water to activate it like a gummed paper tape.
See JVCC FPPT-01 Kraft flatback paper tape for a tape that has a more matte (less shinny) surface than Shurtape FP-96 Kraft paper tape. Made in the U.S.A.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Jeff Bianchi's first career homer, a three-run blast in the second inning, gave Yovani Gallardo enough run support as the Milwaukee Brewers downed the Chicago Cubs, 4-1, at Wrigley Field.
Gallardo (14-8) capped a perfect August with seven innings of one-run ball. The right-hander allowed just three hits and three walks while striking out nine to extend his winning streak to six straight starts.
"When (Gallardo) wants to pitch...he's tough," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "When the chips are down, I'd take him on the mound over anybody."
The Brewers have won seven of eight overall and seven in a row against their NL Central rival, including the first two in this four-game series.
Travis Wood (4-11) homered for Chicago's only run, but served up Bianchi's round-tripper to drop his eighth straight decision.
With two on and two outs in the second, Bianchi was given the green light on a 3-0 count and hammered a letter-high fastball over the left-field wall. It was the shortstop's 20th career at-bat.
"With the pitcher on deck, I was looking for a pitch out over the plate that I could drive. (Wood) left me a fastball up and I was able to capitalize on it," Bianchi said.
Wood, without much support from his offense, showed off his stroke in the third by taking an 0-2 pitch over the wall in left-center for his first homer as a member of the Cubs and third of his career.
The Cubs went to their bullpen in the eighth, and the Brewers added an insurance run when Rickie Weeks got caught up in a rundown long enough for Norichika Aoki to race home from third. Aoki had doubled with one out and stole third prior to Weeks working a walk.
Francisco Rodriguez hurled a perfect eighth and John Axford set down Chicago in order in the ninth to post his 21st save of the year.
Gallardo has pitched to a 1.90 ERA with 44 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings during
his win streak ... Wood allowed five hits, struck out four and did not walk a
batter ... The Cubs' Darwin Barney tied David Eckstein's National League
record by going 113 straight games without an error at second base. Eckstein
accomplished the feat two years ago ... The Cubs did not have a runner reach
past second base.

About Kate Nash
Like so many others who launched their careers via Myspace, Kate Nash managed to set herself apart thanks to piano-propelled pop that caught the ears of thousands of fans. Of course, it helped that she also had the support of superstar Lily Allen, and that the constant praise from one to the other would ultimately help launch Nash's career.
Though Nash grew up in North West London and had dreams of an acting career, she was rejected by the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. It turned out that their loss was music's gain. An injury that left her homebound helped shift her focus to songwriting, and those songs later became home recordings uploaded into the social media sphere.
Imagine being an emerging artist at a time when the popularity of the Internet was exploding. Nash had such a fortune, and her early tracks like "Caroline's a Victim" and "Birds" led to a major-label deal on Fiction, an offshoot of Polydor Records (home to mainstream band Snow Patrol). Her debut single, "Foundations," reached number two on the UK charts and held for five weeks during the summer of 2007. Before long she was on stage at major festivals and making scores of television appearances, and by the time her debut album, "Made of Bricks," was released it entered the U.K. charts at the very top.
Nash began working on her second album in 2009 and continued to reach out to her online fans by posting demo recordings on MySpace. "My Best Friend Is You" was released the following year, followed by "Girl Talk" in 2013.

It's a fantastic product, easy to get in and out and move side to side without sinking in like other memory foam mattress that I've slept on.
If you are like me, an all night side sleeper, wake up in the same position, this one is for you, and if you have shoulder, back discomfort and hip replacements like I do, you will be in heaven all night and very recharge every morning.

- Freshman Phonathon was Successful!
Freshman Phonathon was Successful!
Webb Institute's Class of 2015 participated in an annual "right-of-passage"… the Freshman Phonathon. The Phonathon is designed to give freshmen an opportunity to engage the Webb community and raise much-needed funds.
For a variety of reasons, the 2012 Phonathon was a resounding success, with additional funds arriving daily. Total gifts and pledges, including matching gifts, exceeded $135,000. In addition to a record amount of money raised through gifts and pledges, students had the opportunity to speak with a number of alumni and other members of the Webb family. A variety of skills were on display, as well, including impressive entrepreneurial instinct as one industrious member of the Class of 2015 negotiated a potential internship.
In the end, the two-day event was an unmitigated success. Congratulations to everyone involved with this year's Phonathon. And remember, when your phone rings in the spring of 2013, answer it… you never know whose life you'll change.

Correction: A previous version of this story misstated the state Sen. Mary Landrieu represents. It is Louisiana.
President Obama's call for Congress to show the "courage" to consider new gun-control laws was aimed at Republicans, but he faces challenges with members of his own party who have a history of cowering from the gun debate.
The shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school last week exposed how divided Democrats have been on gun control. It also demonstrated that, along with the current president, Democrats have failed to champion reforms after previous acts of mass violence. While Republicans held the line on gun control, Democrats largely ducked, ever since they ratified the assault-weapons ban in 1994 and saw their majority in Congress disappear.
Gun-control advocates face familiar challenges in keeping Democrats unified. The most vulnerable Democratic senators in 2014 hail from rural states where hunting is popular and guns are ubiquitous: Mark Begich of Alaska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Max Baucus of Montana, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. (Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who was staunchly pro-gun during his 2010 and 2012 campaigns but now says he's open to a debate, is not up for reelection for another six years. Same with Joe Donnelly of Indiana, who is also reconsidering his opposition to gun control as he transitions from congressman to senator and doesn't face another election until 2018.)
The evolutions underscore how polarized the country is over gun control. Republicans, many of whom hail from rural, gun-owning states and districts, and the smaller number of Democrats that represent like-minded parts of the country, are responding as much to their constituents as to the powerful National Rifle Association lobby when opposing measures that come before Congress.
"There's no question that the leadership of the party made a conscious decision years ago to walk away from the issue at all levels," said Democratic lobbyist Steve Elmendorf, a top Capitol Hill adviser when the assault-weapons ban passed. "They figured they weren't getting any credit for it, and they were getting hurt. I do think the situation [in Connecticut] could change that."
The changing political calculus for some Democrats on gun control is starkly exemplified by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who recently boasted that he "stood by [Bill] Clinton's side" as a top adviser when he signed the 1994 assault-weapons ban. But years later, Emanuel helped elect numerous pro-gun candidates--and bragged about their Second Amendment bona fides--as he spearheaded the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006. He was President Obama's chief of staff in 2010 when the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence handed the administration an "F" for expanding gun rights and failing to reinstate the assault-weapons ban. Now, in the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, as the mayor of a city plagued by gun violence, Emanuel is touting the ban once again.
Another prominent Democrat, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, underwent an even more dramatic conversion. As a member of the House representing a Republican-leaning upstate district in 2008, she voted to repeal a law that banned semiautomatic weapons in the District of Columbia and required gun owners to register their weapons and store them unloaded, with trigger locks. She earned an "A" rating from the NRA. Even as gun-control advocates complained about her January 2009 appointment to the Senate, she told a newspaper reporter that she kept two rifles under her bed. "If I want to protect my family, if I want to have a weapon in the home, that should be my right," she said.
The makeover of the congresswoman from a conservative district to the senator of a liberal state began the next day, when staff said that the rifles were removed. Later that year, with the help of two former critics--New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y.--she sponsored legislation to crack down on illegal gun trafficking. The NRA downgraded her to an "F." "She sounded like Annie Oakley, and now she's somebody different," complained her Republican challenger in 2010. Days after the shootings in Connecticut, she wrote a newspaper column pushing her gun-trafficking bill and other restrictions. "Congress has ducked a serious national debate over commonsense gun laws for too long," she wrote.
In the column, she describes meeting the parents of a slain 17-year-old in Brooklyn, N.Y., shortly after her Senate appointment and the near-shooting death of her friend, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., in 2011. "Her former congressional district did not experience the same issues of gun violence," explained her spokesman, Glen Caplin. "For the last four years, as a statewide representative, Senator Gillibrand has been highly focused on solving the problems of the entire state, including gang and gun violence."

YouTube channel BarackDubsis known for putting presidential speeches to music.
Among the recent videos is President Obama "singing" Daft Punk's hot tune "Get Lucky."
This time BarackDubs has former president Clinton doing a version of Robin Thicke's suggestive song "Blurred Lines" (watch the video at the bottom of this story).
In the video, which has more than 1 million views after being posted on Tuesday, Clinton sings the chart-topping hit's racy lyrics declaring "I know you want it" and lamenting about "good girls" and "blurred lines."
Time.com points out that the release is timely. On Tuesday, former White House Monica Lewinsky turned 40.

For a kid who is a rookie, in his 4th NFL start, I don't feel concerned at all. He will keep improving and get better. Look at how Ponder has played so far. Instead of bashing the guy, we should be happy the guy is showing promise. Against what people are saying is a top defense he threw over 400 yards. I always come on this site and never post because it doesn't mean much to me to post. But my god I see so many people just bashing Tanehill left and right. The kid is a rookie, and he is showing more than anyone we have ha since Marino, yet people are calling for his head. My god I don't get it.
Not that I'm calling anyone here this, but I did say to my GF "watch, our rook in his 4th game breaks Marino's total yardage club rookie record, annoints his favorite receiver "Jordy Hartline" and for the first time in a decade enables to two receivers to gain over 100yds. .. And that''s with 2 worthless WRs and a diminished TE function so everyone knows where the ****ing ball is going... and all this against one of the best defenses in the league.
..yet there'll still be some azzholes who are still butthurt over not getting Luck, have an anti-T17agenda or hard-wired to be Mary Contarys who'll whine that today's 3/4 full glass is instead 3/4 empty! .. Just wait and watch!!"
Of course not that I'm referring to our esteemed membership in general , let alone specifically
Peyton Manning was a turnover machine in his first full season, and he turned out to be worthless...... wait. a. second.... lol
some people on these boards are just downright fools.

D.C. Court of Appeals Upholds Environmental Protection Agency Greenhouse Gas Standards
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Today, in a sweeping victory for public health and clean air, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued decisions in four challenges to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) historic climate and clean air protections. Major industrial polluters joined with states like Texas to challenge safeguards, which will protect Americans' health, improve vehicle efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas pollution. The Sierra Club rallied tens of thousands of people across the country to support the standards, and the Sierra Club legal team joined our allies in a landmark legal defense when they were challenged.The four rules upheld today were:
"Today's decision is a huge victory for American families and everyone concerned about protecting the air we breathe and the health of our children. The role of the Clean Air Act in protecting our families from dangerous carbon pollution and climate disruption should never have been in doubt, and this decision is a big step forward in putting the well-being of Americans before the boundless profits of big polluters."Carbon pollution is dangerous to our planet and our health. The Environmental Protection Agency has the right and the duty to keep our communities healthy and now the path is clear for them to curb this dangerous pollution, which threatens our families and planet. We applaud the court's decision and stand with the EPA as they continue to fight for the health of American families."

1 pound
ground beef
1 small
onion, finely chopped
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/4 cup
I've been making this recipe for years and it's always been a hit. The only changes that I made was to omit the salt and sometimes use thyme and/or steak spice. I also add 1 egg so that the patties stay glued together while on the grill. Thanks for sharing.
Waste of time. Drink the beer. The burgers don't need it.

Great hamburger! I love grilling with beer. I used about 1 & 1/4 lbs. of ground beef and about 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion along with the garlic. I kept the other measurements the same (1 Tbsp. of Worcestershire & 1/4 c. beer). There's never a shortage of beer in this house so we used Michelob Ultra. I think any type of full bodied beer will work fine in this recipe. Instead of a tsp. of salt and 1/4 tsp. of pepper I used 1 & 1/4 tsp. of McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning. After mixing the ground beef, we let it set for a half hour in the fridge before making the patties to let the flavors come together. These burgers came out very moist and juicy -perfect on a toasted sesame seed roll with melted cheese, lettuce and tomato.
I will definitely try this recipe again. The burgers were quite tasty. However, the burgers tended to break apart. Next time I will try with a little less beer.
I think it was too much beer, the burger was too tender. I made this three ways I took the 1/4 of beer and put it in a pot and cooked it down to 1 Oz. this still gave the full flavor of the beer, but still made the beef patty tender. I also used 1 oz of dark German beer and a good Belgium beer. The left over beer I drank, I hate waste.
Yum! These burgers were super. I used 93/7 ground turkey instead of beef, the meat mixture did seem very thin and I was worried that these wouldn't hold together well on the grill so I added about 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. Topped with extra sharp white cheddar and served on a hawaiian roll. Thanks for the recipe, we will be making these often!
Pretty darn good little burgers! My only change was to use steak seasoning in place of the salt & pepper. I did these indoors on the grill pan. Looking forward to trying these on the outdoor grill this Summer. Thanks for sharing!
These were really tasty. I overcooked a bit but they still came out savory. I added a few dashes of cayenne and paprika. Everyone loved them.

As I live in the most traffic jammed european city and as I'm also thinking about a more sustainable way of moving , some friend and I want start to work over a project of covered tricycle with electric assistance (because of the climate). In looking for some interesting ideas, I have been blowed away to discover your creation.
That's really amazing ! Congratulation !
Can you send me some information about this? I'm curious to know how much it has cost to you to build this? And how long? What are the size and the weight of your trike? You talked about a triple system of gear. Can you explain it to me? And finally, do you produce this trike and plan to sell it in Europe or only in Malaysia?
I'm really happy to discover your work and wish you the best for your project.
Kind regards
It is retailed at RM470 per kit in Malaysia.
Please og on to https://www.facebook.com/Tim's Waterfuel
I drive around North-, Central- and South- America
"if I can get enough Sponsers"
make it like I make
But a sign on your Trike, where you write on it what you make and where you go and following sentence:
$ 1 for 1 Mile
Belief me it works... not much but just enough what I need for Food etc.
Or make a (Free) Website and there you make the same
Look my Website:
I whist you good luck on your journey
GOD bless You
TQ so much for your advice especially on getting sponsers.
I will follow your advice to put up a sinage what you make and where you go and following sentence: SUPPORT $1 for 1 Mile.
Still do not understand on what you make means here.
Im not good on the free web thing and will proceed with the sinage 1st.
Many tks,
I start in 2 days ( 1. jun 2011) my Velomobile-Expediton around the world. See my Facebook where I have a lot photos of the preparation for my LEIBA classic "Explore" Velomobile. And on my Website, where you see the aproxomatly "Route"
God bless you
To YOU Reader
Add me as friend in Facebook, you are wellcome
on the other hand, do you notice the right wheel dragging when accelerating or turning?
Mr. Lunna Xlll
Tks, firstname.lastname@example.com
Now collecting dimensions to post my 2nd Instructable,Tim's 2 to 3 Wheel Conversion kit to enable Everyone to Cycle right from Special kids to adult with ballabnce problem.
Email me email@example.com for pictures of prototype.
Once again, thanks for the ideas and thanks for going and keeping green.
Tks for your proactive comment.
In building this trike,recycle is my my focus,thus all parts and materials are taken from idle materials unless I need a specific shape/design which I need to custome make.
The fairing is taken from a stock Suzuki 100cc Scooter which cost about Rm 50( USD13) new. Take a look at front fairing from a motorbike shop and work around that5 to suit.
Neccessity is the Mother of Inventions!
Creativity is the Father of Solutions!-Timothy Wooi
It would be really nice
good instructions with details
I will do my best to find time to write an instructable on how you can build a HHO generator using available materials at local hardware shops.Its basically a grade 316 S/Steel Spiral design HHO generator that Im trading to finance my Green projects..
All these materials were specially selected from local hardware around the globe to be user available!
Im still struggling between prototyping green gadgets,building bicycles,planning community work helping to build toilets in the interior and also trying to get sponsers to finance my ride to promote Green.
Yes but later as now working on a Wind/Solar Generator to power my Computer.
Just posted a copy & paste instruction on a hho.
Tried copied the write up but the pictures did not copied somehow.
It spins counterclockwise when theres no load applied.
A differential will automatically engage to spin faster when the opposite side experience a heavier load/traction thus improve handling at corners!
Unless you want to incoperate put 2 freewheel at the 2 rear wheels,you can dive 2 wheels at the same time compensate for the turning effect like that of a differential gear assembly without wearing much of the tires!
