		Ancient Scotland tour - Travelling through prehistory ^Votes:0 From the end of May to the end of July, 1998, we made a tour of more than 200 Scottish prehistoric sites. This work was in coordination with SCRAN ( Scottish Cultural Resources Access Network, a Millennium Project to digitise Scotland's human history and material culture), with the intention of producing an educational website and a CD-ROM about the stone monuments of Scotland. On this website you may find an online travel diary , which was updated in real time. Armed with hi-tech equipment , we have tried to link to computers around the world, and have let you follow the tour, interact with archaeologists and experts, view images from the journey, and learn about the ancient Scottish people and monuments. Have a look at our eight-week diary, searching for clues to the builders of the impr Read More Go to Site


		ethnicity.html ^Votes:0 Who was who in antiquity? Current approaches to ethnic identity of the Greeks and Celts Constanze Witt Handout: Bibliography My subtitle is misleading. If you have come eagerly anticipating an hour of impenetrable post-processual "discourse," I fear you will be sadly disappointed. Rather than throwing names and isms at you, I've put together a bibliography of recent writing that should lead you on to further readings, enough to slake even the most insatiable thirst for obfuscation.

		Malta Temples and The OTS Foundation ^Votes:0 Malta Temple Culture & The OTS Foundation Old Temples Study Foundation OTSF is a North American link with the UNESCO World Heritage prehistoric monuments of the Maltese islands. OTSF strives to foster international awareness and understanding of the Legacy of the Temple-Makers. Six thousand years ago, something happened on a small group of islands in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea... something that challenges everything that we have been taught about early civilization and human development. The prehistoric temples on Malta are the oldest surviving buildings on earth. They are sacred architecture: the oldest monumental ritual spaces. These stones and the artifacts found inside them are the best clues we may ever have for understanding the thoughts of our ancient European ancestors, an Read More Go to Site
