22. Peter Shinnie Obituary One of leading pioneers of African archeology. Peter Shinnie . http://www.buzzle.com/articles/158793.html

Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Peter Shinnie Obituary: One of the leading pioneers of African archeology. Professor Peter Shinnie, who has died aged 92, was one of the founders of African archeology. His professional career spanned 70 years, during which time he was an RAF pilot and intelligence officer, a member of the Communist and Scottish National parties, an administrator, an inspiring - if demanding - teacher, a pioneering researcher and a gifted writer. Born in London, the son of an Aberdonian doctor, he went to Westminster school and on to Christ Church, Oxford, to read Egyptology. His first exposure to archeology was at Maiden Castle, Dorset, with Mortimer Wheeler, as one of a number of gifted apprentice archaeologists - others including Stuart Piggott, J Desmond Clark, Beatrice de Cardi and Rachel Maxwell-Hyslop. At Oxford, he learned to fly with the university air squadron and was active in the university Communist club, whose members then included Denis Healey and Iris Murdoch. His intense undergraduate life - he also learned modern Greek - resulted in a third-class degree, but he stayed on at Oxford as a £3 a week CP organizer, and a temporary assistant at the Ashmolean Museum. He joined the RAF when war broke out, flying bombers, then serving in intelligence on air photography interpretation and finally in the battle for Athens, where he was tempted to stay on after the war. With peace he returned to the Ashmolean and spent a season working with Leonard Woolley on the Bronze age site at Tell el Atshana in Turkey, near the Syrian border. This gave him his first exposure to Arabic and helped him secure his first permanent job as assistant commissioner for archeology in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. His boss was AJ Arkell, an authority on prehistoric Sudan. In the next 10 years Shinnie explored Nubian studies and started his work on Meroe, the literate civilization that scattered the Nile valley with pyramids and other impressive masonry. He succeeded Arkell as commissioner, set up the antiquities museum in Khartoum, founded the journal Kush, and was punctilious in writing up surveys and digs.

@import url("styles/prmpages.css"); Home Visit the Museum Explore the Collections What's On Anthropology and World Archaeology, University of Oxford Masks and Carvings – West Africa Religious beliefs of West Africa The majority of people in West Africa today are followers of Christianity or Islam. Most of the masks or figures for which West Africa is famous, however, were made for traditional religious practises. Many traditional West African religions centre on the belief in life after death and the belief that spirits of the deceased influence the living world. This influence is held not only over living relatives but also over the weather, crops, livestock, wild animals, and whole communities. It is, however, not only deceased ancestors who hold such influence but the gods who must also be appeased. People hold rituals to intercede with the spirit world to avert ill fortune and encourage prosperity. Being sacred and powerful these rituals are not for everyone to know about but only for a few chosen men (and very occasionally women) who are initiated into one of the ‘secret societies’. Members of these secret societies attempt to contact the gods and spirits of village ancestors through offerings, prayers, songs, dances and ‘plays’ known as masquerades. Elaborate shrines and statues made from metal, stone, or wood often play a part in such ceremonies. However, among the most common forms of ritual and religious art are the masks used in masquerades.

Critical Writing Seminars Freshman Seminars Benjamin Franklin Seminars Non-Seminar Courses CRITICAL WRITING SEMINARS AFRICAN ARCHEOLOGY Fulfills the Writing Requirement The African continent was once considered a backwater of human history and prehistory, but the extraordinary mid-20th century discoveries of archeologists like the Leakeys altered this view dramatically. Students in this critical writing seminar will discover that prehistoric Africa was not only the birthplace of anatomically-modern humans, but also home to the earliest human cultures. Drawing on a diverse set of readings and the extensive archeological collections from the University Museum, we will explore the origins of the first toolmakers, the evidence for early modern human behavior, the emergence of the first Saharan cattle herders, and the development of a complex society in the Ethiopian highlands. Through collaborative peer review, a focus on rhetorical strategies, and extensive essay revision, students will be provided ample opportunity to improve their writing skills while exploring the richness of the African archaeological record.

Paleoanthropology Fiction This is a list of fictional works of paleoanthropological interest. I only included books if they featured extinct hominids (so, no novels about prehistoric modern humans). Be warned: given the lack of information about the lifestyles of non- Homo sapiens hominids, such works are at best speculative, and at worst highly implausible. Email me if you know of any other works that should be included. For a much wider range of paleontological and prehistoric fiction and non-fiction, visit the Prehistoric Fiction page by Steve Trussel Robert Sawyer's book Hominids , the first in the Neanderthal Parallax trilogy, was published in May 2002. Follow this link for more information , including sample chapters. Sawyer is a science fiction author who, in my opinion, writes consistently good books, so I expect this to be an enjoyable series. The second book in the series, Humans , was published in February 2003. The third book and last book in the series, Hybrids , will be published in September 2003. ( Hominids , by the way, has just (August 2003) won the 2003 Hugo Award for the best science-fiction novel of the year.)

De Komé à Kribi: Archéologie préventive le long de l'oléoduc Tchad-Cameroun, 1999-2004 Monograph Series Volume 5 Les résultats de la fouille archéologique de la plus longue tranchée jamais creusée en Afrique sont présentés dans ce livre. Depuis les forêts du littoral au sud du Cameroun jusqu’aux savanes sèches du Tchad méridional, la construction du pipeline souterrain du « Chad Export Project » a permis à une équipe de recherche internationale d’investiguer un transept d’une longueur de 1070 Km (!). Le « Komé-Kribi Project » constitue une application exemplaire de l’archéologie de prévention et de sauvetage, associant une série d’institutions politiques et commerciales. Un total impressionnant de 472 sites datant du Middle Stone Age à l’Age du Fer, dont de nombreux sites de première importance, ont été découvert dans des régions jusqu’alors quasi inconnues sur le plan archéologique. L’ouvrage comprend la description des sites et du matériel qui y a été découvert, un aperçu général de la chronologie basée sur une soixantaine de dates C14 et l’analyse des nouvelles découvertes en regard des données existantes dans une perspective synoptique de l’histoire culturelle de l’Afrique centrale. Il fournit une base substantielle pour les études futures et offre également une introduction à la préhistoire de la région pour les archéologues moins au fait de l’histoire de cette partie du continent. Finalement, les auteurs nous offrent un aperçu de l’extraordinaire abondance, à peine effleurée jusqu’à présent, des richesses archéologiques du sol africain.

Laas Gaal's cave paintings are estimated to date back to somewhere between and BCE Contents Introduction Discovery Description Miscellaneous ... edit Introduction The Laas Geel site contains granite caves sheltering about ten rock alcoves decorated with Neolithic cave paintings. The caves are located outside Hargeisa , in an area encompassing a nomadic village, the Naasa Hablood hills. The site overlooks a wide district of countryside, where nomads graze their livestock and wild antelopes roam the vast landscape. The local nomads used the caves as a shelter when it rained and never paid much attention to the paintings. The site is now guarded by the local villagers and the Ministry of Tourism edit Discovery During November and December 2002, an archaeological survey was carried out by a French team in Somaliland.
