Background Era of Archaeology: History of Archaeology 1 - KamalsJournalKamalWMC
Archaeology was not born overnight. It has a history that can be traced back to the earliest human civilizations. Since archaeology emerged as a field in the renaissance era, the history before that time is considered as the background era when the foundation was laid. This background era of archaeology is longer than the time since the emergence of archaeology till today. This long period of time consists of several phases which do not show clear divisions but enough differences. First it was mere curiosity of past or the material remains that could be found in the environment that belonged to past. They constructed legends, myths, and tales around those material remains such as objects and monuments connecting them to the people who lived in the past. These stories were passed upon generations. Then, people started to discover, investigate and collect these touchable things left from the past. Soon, they began to collect the collectables, and then to keep records of those collections. Then, the started to preserve and conserve those collectables. And the intangible relics such as customs were also recorded for safeguarding. Then, the histories of all these remains from the past were documented and those documents were protected by coping. This way, the background era of archaeology laid the groundwork for archaeology to be emerged as an specific field in the late renaissance.

Pre-Modern European Migrations the Celts Part 1 - By Dr. Lizabeth JohnsonUNM Continuing Education
Much of the history of pre-modern European society was shaped by the migration of various groups of peoples into and across the European landscape. The Celts moved from their homeland in Central Europe and settled throughout much of Western Europe, bringing their language and culture with them. The Romans were yet another migrant group, and undoubtedly one of the most culturally impactful groups because they enforced their political, legal, and religious customs in the territories they settled. Similarly, the German-speaking tribes who moved into Roman territory as the Roman Empire fell; the Vikings, who emerged from Scandinavia in the late 8th century CE and settled throughout much of Western Europe; and Muslim peoples, who emerged from the Arabian Peninsula in the mid-7th century CE and settled in Spain and Sicily, had a significant influence on the formation of early European culture. We'll examine all of these groups and their impact on the history and culture of Western Europe in the pre-modern period.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Study and Research
• Fiorelli introduced the
method of pouring plaster
into the cavities left by the
people and animals of
Pompeii
• As a result, it is impossible
to make deductions about
the manner of their deaths
3. Study and Research
• Apart from the casts, skeletal remains have also been found at
P
• Generally these bones were ignored by early excavators and
stored in various buildings around P
• This was not a systematic storage of complete skeletons, but
bones all jumbled together
4. Study and Research
• In Pompeii, Estelle Lazer from Sydney UNI has made a study
of these skeletal remains
• She first studied those from the House of Menander, where
she found that some of the ‘skeletons’ uncovered had in fact
been assembled from a number of different skeletons
• She then examined the remains of over 300 people stored in
the Sarno Baths
• Using the techniques of anthropology and forensic medicine
she investigated sex, age , height, signs of disease, and the
relationship between victims
5. Study and Research
• Lazer believes that the victims were a good representative
sample of the population
• The bones show that the people of P healthy and well-
nourished, although their teeth were in bad stages of wear and
decay
• Evidence of various medical conditions suggest that people
lived well into their 50’s and 60’s The House of
Menander
6. Study and Research
• In H, the initial 130
skeletons found in the
boathouse were examined
by Sara Bisel in the 1980’s
• She examined the remains
to establish levels of health
and socio-economic status
as well as cause/causes of
death
• Some of Bisel’s conclusions
were highly speculative,
especially those about the
ID and occupation of
individuals
7. Study and Research
• A subsequent and more detailed examination of the remains
was conducted by an Italian team, led by Luigi Carpasso
between 2000 – 2002
• The skeletons of the victims of H have been preserved because
of the nature of the volcanic deposit which kept them airtight
• These skeletons are in better condition than those at P because
individual skeletons have been kept largely intact and
excavation and storage have been more carefully conducted
8. Display of Human Remains
• Italian society has a tradition of displaying the bodies or body
parts of saints and martyrs
• In the broader context, international museums have held
human remains for research and public display for more than a
century
9. Display of Human Remains
• In the latter part of the 20th C, largely in response to the
demands of the indigenous communities, attitudes began to
change and debates centred on whether human remains were
of scientific or cultural significance
10. Display of Human Remains
• Codes of ethics were developed by
museums, universities and
archaeologists which showed
sensitivity to community attitudes
• Some museums closed exhibitions
and returned human remains to the
countries or communities from
which they had been removed
• It is within this context that
concerns have been raised about
the display of human remains at P
11. Display of Human Remains
• In early excavations at P, human remains were
regarded as exhibits for important visitors
• Skeletons were assembled (often incorrectly) in
tableaux which allegedly depicted the ‘last moments’
of the individual concerned
12. Display of Human Remains
• Plaster casts made by Fiorelli were also considered appropriate
for general exhibition
• They were displayed in situ, assembled in groups in new
locations or displayed individually in glass cases
• Casts have been stored for years among the pots and other
artefacts in storerooms off the forum in Pompeii, the most
well-known being the
Muleteer
13. Display of Human Remains
• International
visitors, rather
than Italians
have expressed
concern about
the way bodies
are displayed and
discussions have
begun about
more sensitive
ways of dealing
with human
remains at the
site
14. Display of Human Remains
• Human remains at H
have been treated
differently
• When skeletons were
discovered in the brick
chambers along the
shore line, they were
not displayed to the
public
• Bones were excavated
and replaced with casts
15. Questions:
• Draw and complete the following table.
Concerns of their display Value of Human Remains
