#Aerial #lidarmapping allows #archaeologists to efficiently #map large areas with archaeologically relevant structures. However, the #article cited in the appendix #critically examines the fact that this increasingly occurs over the heads of #indigenous #tribes, whose way of life and traditional #knowledge are at risk of being #overlooked and #ignored. This raises not only #ethical questions.

A #mammoth #tusk #boomerang from #Poland is 40,000 years old
The boomerang is a one-of-a-kind find from the last place #archaeologists expected.
According to recent analysis by University of Bologna researcher Sahra Talamo and her colleagues, the boomerang may have been made around 40,000 years ago. If they’re right, it offers tantalizing clues about how people lived on the harsh tundra of what’s now Poland during the last #IceAge.

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.
Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:
#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.
The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.
Settler-Led Excavations:Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.
Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.
The International Fallout:Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.
These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

A 4,500-year-old #palace from the #Kingdom of #Lagash #unearthed in modern-day southern #Iraq could hold the keys to a greater understanding of #Sumerian history. That’s because the site holds over 200 cuneiform tablets that contain administrative records concerning the city of Girsu, The Guardian reported. #Archaeologists with the #BritishMuseum are calling it the Lord Palace of the Kings. https://explorersweb.com/sumerian-palace-discovered-iraq/

Very little to surprise you these days …
Same day as The Guardian reports archaelogical finds from one of the Sumerian sites as stunning news from “an acient civilization that very few are aware of” …
What is your take on that #history and #litterature #teachers ? #News ?If anything the headlines should point to the initiatives of #solarenergy and the effort of #educating a new generation of #archaeologists through years of #war and unrest

Who butchered this ancient hippo?
#Archaeologists in Kenya have unearthed dozens of #StoneTools scattered around the butchered bones of ancient #hippopotamus-like creatures. The site dates to between 2.6 and 3 million years ago, and pushes back the known start of large-animal butchering by early human relatives by at least 600,000 years. The tools are the earliest known example — by around 700,000 years — of #Oldowan tools, which became widespread across #Africa cont..

"From the #Bluefish #Caves, three hollows in a remote limestone ridge in northern Yukon, #archaeologists have unearthed some of the oldest known signs of human occupation in #NorthAmerica. Today, these caves are providing scientists with a glimpse into the lives of the Beringian hunters who used them nearly 24,000 years ago."
