The Saa's Principles Of Archaeological Ethnics

Archaeologists are now able to come together with natives and learn about the past as a team, getting more insight into ceremonials, traditions, sacred ritueals, everyday workings, and lifestyles of native peoples. Respecting the grounds and artifacts of these indigenous people is respecting their heritage- our universal heritage. The unfolding of information allows archaeologists to gain perspective on the people and land before the white

Context and Research Question: In August 2015, after capturing the ancient Roman site of Palmyra, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) spectacularly exploded the remains of the Temple of Bel and the Temple of Baalshamin. They immediately spread the images of their destruction online by creating videos and news reports. ISIL’s acts of destruction mark the largest-scale mass destruction of antiquities by one group since the Second World War (Kulish and Myers 2016), and their videos are extremely effective in disseminating their spectacles outside of the Middle East. Scholars in art history, archaeology, and law consider these acts the destruction of cultural heritage (Harmanşah 2015; Bauer 2015; Brodie 2015; Drasewska 2015; He 2015; Kila 2015). In particular, ISIL’s videos seek to defy Western European ideas about cultural heritage which are often cast as universal (Meskell 2002, 568) and engage a worldwide audience through carefully articulated performances. However, the many Canadian journalists using digital media to protest the destruction and reassert their own humanitarian, cosmopolitan, and civilized heritage values clearly mark the success of this strategy (Manley 2016). In fact, a trend emerged where popular news stories claim that ISIL is destroying the heritage that belongs to all of humanity (Harmanşah 2015, 173). Some scholars dispute the validity of this

Today, the terrorist group ISIS is taking over the Middle East and is causing massive destruction among countries. This group is causing damage to many ancient cities like Hatra and Numrud by ruining priceless artifacts and structures that can never be replaced. This group also beheads, crucifies, and shoots many military personal as well as civilians mainly from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. In similar ways, the Crusades destroyed many civilization like Antioch and Acre by ruining building that are still being found even today in order to try to regain the Holy Land. They killed thousands of people in many cities, mostly those of Islam and Jewish background because they wanted to destroy the Islamic religion.

The Paleo-Indian Tradition was considered the first humans to come to Wisconsin. Through the Bering Land Bridge, these people came into North America. They inhabited Wisconsin from 10,000-8,500 BC according to the Milwaukee Public Museum website.

The following report details the archaeological fieldwork conducted by New South Associates, Inc. for proposed widening and improvements along U.S. 158 in Forsyth and Guilford counties, North Carolina. The purpose of the survey was to identify and evaluate archaeological sites for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), within the proposed project area of potential effects (APE). This project was conducted for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) (TIP R-2577ABC, State Project No. 37405). This is a state-funded project covered under a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) individual permit. As such, the USACE serves as the lead federal agency and the work complies with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended.

The history of archaeology plays an important role in the controversial issues surrounding the science. Archaeology has only recently become a concrete science. Although mankind has always had an interest in the past, the root of archaeology is believed to have started in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. During this time period, artifacts were mainly sought after for collecting. The upper class of the Renaissance period collected artifacts from places such as Rome and Greece to display in their homes as art. As time went on, the lure of historical art and artifacts increased. “Classical archaeology” is the direct result of this curiosity. The “classical archaeologists” were mainly wealthy men that collected artifacts for their homes and studied where they

The region goes all the way up to Canada, it includes the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. They lived between 8 B.C. to 800 A.D.. Burial Mounds hold corpses, treasure, and other valuables. If a chief dies all if his belongings go in the mound with him. Woodland Indian tribes lived near streams, lakes, and rivers. They live near them because if they didn’t they wouldn’t have water or food. They lived east of the plains. A few of their tribes are the Iroquois, Mound Builders, Algonquian, Shawnee and some Woodland tribes. All of these tribes travel with stitched bark Canoe or they walk. They lived along the Atlantic Coast and were the first region that was able to contact the Europeans. The Eastern Woodlands mainly spoke Iroquoian and Algonquian.

Logan, Lara, Jeff Newton, and Richard Butler. "Iraq's Christians Persecuted by ISIS." CBSNews. CBS Interactive, 22 Mar. 2015. Web. 13 Aug. 2015. The main point in this article is to show how far ISIS has gone to eradicate Christians in Iraq; they are causing deleterious effects on Christian towns. Christians have been living in this area for almost 2,000 years and more than 125,000 have been forced out of their homes. The author is trying to spread awareness of things going on in the Middle East. Monasteries that have been there for almost 2,000 years and have perpetuated several empires, invasions and conquests are now feeling threatened by ISIS. They are using Nazi techniques

Genocide has undoubtedly shown itself, in one way or another, throughout world history, but there is some controversy as to what is actually considered a genocide versus, perhaps a civil war or Democide. I propose that while Ben Kiernan describes a good model to define an act as or as not a genocide, his model does not take into account all factors that must be considered. Ben Kiernan describes his model being based off of 4 main themes: cults of antiquity, ethnic enmity, expansionism, and fetish for agriculture2. While this is a good start, the argument can be made that not every genocide fits perfectly into this model, while it also can ignore certain important characteristics like religion. We see this being the case with ISIS, being as

In the Eidolon essay, the destruction that ISIS has caused all over the middle east was discussed. The irony of the materials being destroyed and ISIS itself was presented to the audience as tyrants destroyed the history formed by tryants of the past. The reader was shown the lack of sentiment that people express today for historical leaders, but don't express for today's population. Also, the essay discussed what types of history is worthy of being preserved by UNESCO.

ISIS has initiated concerns in the district and around the globe by butchering minorities, regulating sex slavery, getting rid of state armed forces, and killing rivals in awful shows of brutality. It annihilated heritage sites, for example, sanctuaries in the ancient city of Palmyra, and powered the worldwide relics

ISIS is fighting for man-made rules and regulations; this message is all natural with no artificial restrictions or limitations. ISIS’ old ideas

In Syria there is one of the most important temples of the Middle East, which a center of religion in Syrian city Palmyra. The Temple of Bel is also one of the oldest temples in the world, the temple was built 2000 years ago and Syrians have huge respect and appreciation for one of the most important places in their country which is the temple itself. It was recently found that parts of it are destroyed and reports are stating that ISIS are totally responsible for the destruction of the Temple of Bel. They also killed Khalid Al Asaad who was an 82 year old man who protects all the antics of the temple, after he refused to tell them where some precious antics were placed.

Instead, from its onset, Islam spread as a conquering power and remained that way for some time. Explaining it this way, the reader gets a sense of the psychology behind Islam and why, besides being a religious task, spreading Islam is such a goal. By showing the issues Islam faces today in the context of past Islamic traditions, Lewis paints a much clearer picture of the skewed view today’s radicals have and the way they use history to manipulate. He examines influential Muslim voices like Saddam Hussein and Usama Bin Laden, who have used history to give Islam victim status or to claim the continuance of a predecessor’s mission to not only justify terrorist activities, but also to recruit followers. He tells the history of Bin Laden’s statement referring to the “humiliation and disgrace” Islam supposedly has suffered. What Bin Laden was referring to was the defeat of the Ottoman sultanate in 1918 and the imperial presence of Westerners on sacred Muslim lands. Lewis explains the offense many Muslims take to the desecration of their holy lands by foreigners. He describes how the discovery and exploitation of oil in the Holy Land of the Hijaz has exacerbated the growing resentment many Muslims

Death, decay, crime, war, and other horrors are at the center of Hayder Al-Mohammad’s “You Have Car Insurance, we have Tribes.” The author’s intended subject, tribes, and more specifically how they are as the author says, waxing in Iraq, however, is only briefly discussed in the article, which focuses more on the city of Basra Iraq. While the Al-Mohammad does look at historical aspects of the city of Basra through the lens of tribalism, he fails to construct a reasonable argument for why tribes are needed in modern Iraq, or for that matter, in general. This is because he commits several sins in authorship, including mixing personal experience with historical fact, self-contradiction, and switching between third and first-person writing.
