Informed Speculation
One of the things about the subject of archaeology is the degree of wild fantastical speculation on the part of the public, and so called "experts". While we have differing views, archaeologist seek the truth from the evidence. The recent movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (which I refused to be a consultant on) is the perfect example of ignoring the fact, in favor of pure fantasy (see my review on Archaeology At The Movie… Continue

A large, 1,000-year-old market center has been uncovered in eastern Missouri. Archaeologists want to know how the site, where they have found ornate pottery, copper ear spools, stone tools, and beads, in addition to traces of buildings, hearths, and food remains, was connected to Cahokia Mounds in Illinois. Pig Point, Maryland, could be the most important [...]Thursday, July 2
Scientists from Australian National University have studied 3,000-year-old burials of young children at An Son, in southern Vietnam. “The burial of a new born baby without any associated grave goods and positioned within discarded kitchen material may suggest high levels of infant mortality, as well as a reduced emotional investment in very young children that [...]Wednesday, July 1
Pieces of 38-million-year-old jawbones and teeth found in Myanmar represent a new type of primate, according to paleontologist Chris Beard of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. “This new fossil Ganlea definitely helps us argue - and we think the argument is pretty close to settled now - that when you go back [...]Tuesday, June 30
A small gold vase that was seized from a German auction house has been held in the Roman-Germanic Central Museum in Mainz, by museum archaeologist Michael Mueller-Karpe, who had been asked to evaluate it. Both the auction house and the Iraqi government want the artifact, thought to be 4,500 years old and stolen from a [...]Monday, June 29
Road construction in northern Afghanistan threatens an archaeological site from the sixth to fourth century B.C. in the narrow Cheshma-e-Shafa gorge. “It is a site which controlled an old route by which people could come from Central Asia to India, a place completely strategic for controlling traffic,” said Philippe Marquis of the French Archaeological Delegation [...]Friday, June 26
An international team of archaeologists has uncovered 14,000-year-old stone tools on the Greek island of Limnos. This is now the oldest-known settlement in the Aegean. Stains from post holes could mark the oldest structures in Maryland. “We have three or four wigwams, built on top of each other, as early as 1290, and maybe older,” said [...]Thursday, June 25
A 35,000-year-old bone flute crafted from griffon vulture bone has been unearthed in Germany’s Hohle Fels cave. “It is unambiguously the oldest instrument in the world,” Nicholas Conard of the University of Tuebingen told the Associated Press. He talks about the flute and the Venus figurine found in the same cave on National Public Radio. There’s [...]Wednesday, June 24
Here’s a little more information on the Roman artifacts that were uncovered in Rione Terra, in southern Italy. There’s also a photograph of a marble head of Emperor Titus. Facedown burial appears to have been a widespread practice intended to shame the dead, according to a review of the research on more than 200 grave sites [...]Tuesday, June 23
Construction workers discovered a 4,000-year-old Canaanite tomb in Bethlehem. They called archaeologists, who excavated the intact burial of two individuals. Traces of wild barley were found in an 11,300-year-old granary uncovered in Jordan. Grain was domesticated in the Middle East about 1,000 years later. Neanderthals wore tailored clothing and dried and cooked meat, according to a study [...]Monday, June 22
A man accused of trafficking in looted archaeological sites from public land in southern Utah has committed suicide. Steven L. Shrader, 56, of Sata Fe, NM, died last Friday.

The strange story of Votan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Votan ?
For me this story is not new, but I have never read the original source - the fragment of that book by Francisco Núñez de la Vega. However, now I feel that I'd better read it. To avoid possible arguements, I must admit that it is not the fact of Votan's probable existance, but Votan himself as a character that really interests me. So, are there any translations of that text into English on the Internet?
