Scientists Provide a More Accurate Age for the El Sidrón Cave Neanderthals

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130402091145.htm - Science Daily



(Credit: University of Oviedo)

A study has been able to accurately determine the age of the Neanderthal remains found in the El Sidrón cave (Asturias, Spain) for which previous studies had provided inexact measurements. The application of a pre-treatment to reduce contamination by modern carbon has managed to lower the margin of error from 40,000 to just 3,200 years…CLICK LINK TO READ MORE…

Djehuty Project discovers significant evidence of the 17th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt

The Djehuty Project, led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has discovered on the hill of Dra Abu el-Naga in Luxor (ancient Thebes), the burials of four personages belonging to the elite of the 17th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, who lived about 3.550 years ago. These findings, discovered during the 12th campaign of archaeological excavations of the project, shed light on a little-known historical period in which Thebes becomes the capital of the kingdom and the empire's foundations become established with the dominance of Egypt over Palestine and Syria to the north, and over Nubia to the south…CLICK LINK TO READ MORE…

The Adena Mounds

http://www.adena.com/adena/ad/ad01.htm



About 1000 B.C. we can mark the beginning of a new period for man in North America. This period, which lasted until about 700 A.D., is called the Woodland Period. It is during this time that a new culture emerged and made significant settlements in what is now known as West Virginia. These people are known to us today by the general term of the Mound Builders. They were so named for their practice of creating earthen burial mounds and other earthworks. The Mound Builders lived over a wide range from the Atlantic, the Midwest and the Ohio Valley to the Mississippi Valley. The term "mound builders" refers to several cultures that span a period of about 20 centuries...CLICK LINK TO READ MORE...

Unmasking the Mayan

http://anthropology.si.edu/maya/ - Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

One million Maya Indians from Mexico and Guatemala are living in the United States. Unlike earlier waves of immigrants to our shores, the Maya are descendants of a New World civilization whose mystery resonates across this continent, and the globe. Few Americans are aware that there was extensive trade between the ancient peoples of North America and Mexico for at least a thousand years. A darker mystery surrounds the modern Maya. After centuries of poverty and injustice, some fight for recognition behind a black Zapatista mask. Those who seek better economic opportunities by migrating north must disguise themselves in Western clothes and customs. Thus the Maya remain hidden, faceless, both at home and in the cities and rural areas of our country.

An aboriginal salt mine at Camp Verde, Arizona. Anthropological papers of the AMNH ; v. 30, pt. 3 Morris, Earl Halstead, 1889-1956.

http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/124

About a mile and a half westward of Camp Verde, Arizona, a mesa tongue juts southward from the foothills, the irregular contour of its crest breaking gradually downward until it merges with the floor of the Verde Valley. That salt was to be obtained from this rib of highland was learned soon after the first white settlers entered the valley. While troops were stationed at Camp Verde, salt for their animals was dug from
the hill, and in more recent years stock men of the vicinity have resorted to the same source for their supply.
