Colin Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Gunshot Wound Turns Out to be a Polar Bear Attack http://www.newhistorian.com/gunshot-wound-turns-polar-bear-attack/2742/ Advancements in computer modelling and archaeological science have allowed archaeologists to determine that a Sadlermiut woman from the nineteenth century did not in fact die of a gun shot wound, but a polar bear attack. The Sadlermiut were an isolated tribe related to the Inuits. For over ten years, archaeologists and technicians from the Canadian Museum of History have been cataloging and investigating the large collection of Nunavut artefacts stored in the museum. The woman’s remains were originally found in the 1950s, “partially exposed” inside a ring of tents. At first, the cause of death was thought to have been a gun shot to the head. The archaeologists determined that she had been wounded and brought into the tent area where she succumbed to her wounds. After the skull was noticed during the cataloging of the Canadian Museum of History’s collection however, it was reexamined. Karen Ryan, an archaeologist at the museum, did not accept the original explanation of the woman’s death. Because the Sadlermiut were such an isolated tribe, she felt the chances of the woman having been shot were unlikely. Ryan told Nunatsiaq Online, “When we looked again, we thought: If it wasn’t a gunshot, what could it have been?” Analysis of the skull proved to be a challenge in and of itself, as the bone was fragile, and the team had to handle the remains with great care and reverence. They decided to create a 3-D model of the skull, and sent it to the Virtual Zooarcheology of the Arctic Project, based in Idaho, so they could continue to investigate the injuries without further damaging the skull. Further examinations revealed the cause of death was not a gun shot wound. The injuries presented themselves as a mystery at first, as the puncture wounds were on both sides of the skull. The technicians on the Arctic Project then began to compare the puncture wounds on the skull with the bite marks of many native animal species from the area where the remains were discovered. It was then that one of the team members suggested a male polar bear could have caused the injuries to the Sadlermiut woman’s skull. After testing the theory in the 3D model, it was found that the holes in the skull were a close match to an adult polar bear’s bite. Ryan stated that this find would provide a new understanding of life among the Sadlermiut, who are thought to have gone extinct in the twentieth century due to disease. She said that she could not begin to fathom what had happened to lead the woman to this type of horrific death. The technological advances of our age have made it possible for a large group of archaeologists and researchers spread across North America to analyse the skull, without physically having to transport it to an office or lab. They used a VZAP site, which allowed them to share the model without having to spend time and funding on travel. The time they saved allowed them to determine the cause of the woman’s death, and gain a better understanding of a tribe that no longer exists.
toysoldier Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Scary that a bear bite can mimic the effects of a bullet on bone...
lucklucky Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Dailymail is the only newspaer that have the guts to says a spade is a spade sometimes, so i can say they are certainly less worse than most British newspapers.
Panzermann Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Scary that a bear bite can mimic the effects of a bullet on bone...I guess they had been lazy and worked sloppy and just chalked it up as gun wound without looking at it too long.
Mr King Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 King Tut’s mask, world’s ‘most famous archaeological relic,’ has been permanently damagedWant to hear about a bad day? They don’t get much worse than this.King Tut’s 3,300-year-old funeral mask, called “the most famous archaeological relic in the world,” has been permanently damaged, Cairo’s Egyptian Museum announced this week. It’s still not entirely clear what happened. But it seems Tut’s drooping beard was somehow knocked off at some point last year. And then everything went from bad to worse.Competing stories abound, the Associated Press found. “Three of the museum’s conservators reached by telephone gave differing accounts of when the incident occurred last year, and whether the beard was knocked off by accident while the mask’s case was being cleaned, or was removed because it was loose,” the news agency reported.Amid the pandemonium, someone had the idea to hastily glue that sucker back on. According to the AP, Tut’s mask is a huge draw for tourists, so the museum wanted it back out there on the floor. Someone grabbed epoxy — an adhesive totally unsuitable for something like Tut’s mask — and, in an attempt to fix the mask, only damaged it further.“Unfortunately, he used a very irreversible material — epoxy has a very high property for attaching and is used on metal or stone but I think it wasn’t suitable for an outstanding object like Tutankhamun’s golden mask,” one conservator, speaking on the condition of anonymity because who in their right mind would want to be linked with this debacle, told the Associated Press.“The mask should have been taken to the conservation lab but they were in a rush to get it displayed quickly again and used this quick drying, irreversible material,” he confessed.Another museum conservator, who was present at the scene, said when one colleague realized what had happened, he grabbed a spatula to try and get the glue off, but instead left permanent scratches. “The first conservator, who inspects the artifact regularly, confirmed the scratches and said it was clear that they had been made by a tool used to scrape off the epoxy,” the AP reported.So what’s the final damage?There’s now a gap between the beard and the face. “Now you can see a layer of transparent yellow,” one conservator said.Experts couldn’t believe it. “From the photos circulating among restorers, I can see that the mask has been repaired,” Egyptologist Tom Hardwick told the AP. “But you can’t tell with what.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/23/king-tuts-mask-worlds-most-famous-archaeological-relic-has-been-irreversably-damaged/
Corinthian Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Thousands of years from now, someone's gonna excavate that part of the world, re-discover (without knowing what exactly it is) the sarcophagus, and after much studying, there will be scientists who will be befuddled as to why a 3000+ year old sarcophagus has 21st century epoxy. Then one faction will say it's an elaborate 21st century hoax to produce sacred relics, while another faction will claim it's the real thing, while a third faction will proclaim aliens.
mnm Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 In the time of Maspero Pasha this would have been quite acceptable, but as epoxy hadn't been invented yet they would be using gum arabic.
Panzermann Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 In the time of Maspero Pasha this would have been quite acceptable, but as epoxy hadn't been invented yet they would be using gum arabic.And we'd be non the wiser as the ancient egypts used it for embalming among other things. ballless arabs trying to cover up and then fucking it up royally. Sometimes I think we should continue to carry away all that ancient egyptian relics like in 19th century.

Wobbly Head Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It is amazing what you can dig up in London. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/10/europe/bedlam-burial-ground/ London (CNN)Archaeologists have started excavating about 3,000 skeletons from the Bedlam burial ground in London, used from 1569 to at least 1738. Also known as Bethlem and the New Churchyard, more than 20,000 Londoners are believed to have been buried there. The ground was used by "a varied cross-section of society throughout the years since the burial ground was open," Nick Elsden, project manager from MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) told CNN.
Mikel2 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) A friend of mine lived in a house that had been built over an old chapel, in Spain. One day they went to lay some pipes under the kitchen and found a bunch of skeletons... My friend is an archeologist and could not have been more thrilled. His wife, not so much Edited March 11, 2015 by Mikel2
DB Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) "Bedlam" has been located in several different places over the centuries, the burial ground being dug over now is being disturbed due to the Crossrail link and is in the vicinity of Liverpool Street Station. Its third location is now the Imperial War Museum in Southwark. (Guess how to pronounce that, I dare you.) Edited March 12, 2015 by DB
