Question by Ben’s Mango ^.^: We’re reading about archaeology in social studies and it’s scaring me, how do I deal with it?
Like, they have pictures of skeletons and skulls in the textbook and they talk about them….
That’s exactly what my worst fear has been ever since I can remember. How do I overcome my fear so I can do well in that class?

I’d suggest looking up Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Psychologists use it for people who have all sorts of fears, but you can also do some similar exercises on your own with workbooks and things. Basically, it works by building a hierarchy, where you start off by exposing yourself to something that doesn’t scare you as much and working your way up to the things that are hardest for you. Apparently it can be pretty effective.

Construction vehicles in the building site of The Library of Birmingham.
Looks like the archeology is finished, and they have filled in the ground.
This shot I’ve got those three tower blocks of flats. One taller than the next.
Archaeology: Digging for the Truth of the Bible www.youtube.com Ketef Hinnom (“shoulder of Hinnom”) is an archaeological site southwest of the Old City of Jerusalem, adjacent to St. Andrew’s Church of Scotland. The site consists of a series of rock-hewn burial chambers based on natural caverns. In 1979 two tiny silver scrolls, inscribed with portions of the well-known apotropaic Priestly Blessing of the Book of Numbers and apparently once used as amulets, were found in one of a burial chambers. The delicate process of unrolling the scrolls while developing a method that would prevent them from disintegrating took three years. Brief as they are, they contain what may be the oldest surviving texts from the Hebrew Bible, dating from around 600 BCE. en.wikipedia.org The following is a list of artifacts, objects created or modified by human culture, that are significant to the historicity of the Bible. en.wikipedia.org LMLK seals en.wikipedia.org Archaeology: Digging for the Truth of the Bible Play List www.youtube.com
Dr. David R. Wilcox, Senior Research Associate, Museum of Northern Arizona – Since Eusebio Kino first described the Casa Grande Ruin in the 1690s, scientific data about what a Southwest Archaeology Conference held at Gila Pueblo in 1931 agreed to call “Hohokam Archaeology” has been accumulating. Findings made at four sites are summarized, two in the Middle Gila Valley (Casa Grande and Snaketown) and two in the Lower Salt Valley (Pueblo Grande and Los Hornos), with an eye to how data collected from them are relevant to the considerations of contemporary problems in Hohokam archaeology.

Answer by Smells like New Screen Names
Is the technology there to prove the theory? Is it there to conduct the dig without destroying evidence that might be useful later?
Is the budget and money there to fund the study? Will it pay for the staff necessary to achieve goals?
Will the weather make the dig possible, in the time allowed?

Question by : What minor should an archaeology student have that wants to do public archaeology?
I am thinking I want to go the public archaeology, community outreach route, hopefully working for the state one day with community programming in archaeology. What would be a good minor for this?
Best answer:
Answer by SmartAZ
Journalism?
Political science?
Sociology?
Just guessing. Your degree could just as well be in theater arts for all it matters in a public career. I mean you could get elected to some uncontested office and build a base of influence and eventually appoint yourself to any job you like, degree or no degree.

Factually hundreds of Hebrew seals and seal impersonations have been found in the last century. These hard-bitten clay seal impersonations are known as “bullae” (sg., bulla). In biblical Israel, papyrus was the main form of writing substance. Once an authorized deed was written, it would be rolled up, one end crinkled in one-third of the width and the contrary end likewise folded in. The document, now abridged by folding, was joined with a string and a lump of clay was impressed on the entwined string. Then the higher facade of the clay lump was impressed with the signet ring of the possessor of the document or its writer. These types of documents were hoard in temple or palace records, with the uninterrupted seal guaranteeing the soundness of the credentials contents. For a time during the 1970′s, a bulla having the stamp and name of the scribe of Jeremiah came into sight on the antiquities market and was obtained by a collector, Dr.
R. Hecht. He allowed Israeli archaeologist Nahman Avigad to circulate the bulla, which came from an unrevealed place, now considering being the “burnt house” dug up by Yigal Shiloh. The bulla is currently in the Israel Museum. It measures 17 by 16 mm, and is imprinted with an oval seal, 13 by 11 mm. A solitary line borders the impression, and it is separated by double straight lines into three records bearing the inscription below: belonging to son of Neriahthe scribe. The script which is used is the pre-exilic ancient Hebrew linear script, quite than the post-exilic script taken on by Jews from the current Aramaic script. Reading the Hebrew from right to left, the first letter, Heb (l), is the preposition “to, belonging to,” and the last three letters, heb. (Yhw)is a abridged form of the name of God, Heb. (yhwh), the shortened form was likely pronounced “yahu.” Baruch’s is a name which means “Blessed of the Lord (Yahweh).” This bulla was with no doubt from the notion of Baruch ben Neriah, the scribe who wrote to the transcription of the prophet Jeremiah. Avigad articulated his personal feelings as he worked with the Baruch Bulla as having the feeling “of special contact with people who figure outstandingly in the staged events in which the giant figure of Jeremiah and his realistic follower Baruch were drawn in at a most serious time earlier the breakdown of Judah.” Avigad also published a seal bearing the inscription “Belonging to Seraiah (ben) Neriah.” Seriah was the “chief chamberlain” in the court of King Zedekiah (Jer 51:59).He escorted the king to Babylon, and he carried a written oracle from the prophet Jeremiah looking for the final annihilation of Babylon, which he was to read out loud on his coming in the city, then to throw the deed into the Euphrates (Jer 59:64). Seriah ben Neriah was the brother of Baruch ben Neriah, and together were close pals of the prophet Jeremiah.

Sol Invictus at Archaeology Museum of Yalvac, Turkey

Sol Invictus of Antioch of Pisidia at Archaeology Museum of Yalvac near Konya, Turkey.
Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the Roman state-supported sun god created by the emperor Aurelian in 274 and continued, overshadowing other Eastern cults in importance, until the abolition of paganism under Theodosius I. By far the earliest appearance of an inscription linking the unconquered emperor with the sun is the legend on a bronze phalera dated by its style to the second century, in the Vatican collections: INVENTORI LUCIS SOLI INVICTO AUGUSTO.
The Romans held a festival on December 25 of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun." December 25 was the date after the winter solstice, with the first detectable lengthening of daylight hours. There was also a festival on December 19.
The title Sol Invictus had also been applied to a number of other solar deities before and during this period. The type of Sol Invictus, though not the name, appears on imperial coinage from the time of Septimius Severus onwards. A solidus of Constantine as well as a gold medallion from his reign depict the Emperor’s bust in profile twinned ("jugate") with Sol Invictus, with the legend INVICTUS CONSTANTINUS
Though many Oriental cults were practiced informally among the Roman legions from the mid-second century, only that of Sol Invictus was officially accepted and prescribed for the army.
