Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. The Kiss of Death. January 31, 2011. February 1, 2011. Dr Zahi Hawass, new Egyptian Minister of State for Antiquities. Dr Zahi Hawass, the bombastic, clownish pseudo-archaeologist who has tyrannized, bullied, and manipulated Egyptologists and Egyptian villagers alike for years now, today officially accepted President Hosni Mubarak’s appointment as Minister of State for Antiquities in the desperate, ghost government that has just been formed. The new lin...

Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. Between Home and History. November 10, 2010. December 18, 2010. Click the poster above for a transcript. National Geographic, Have You No Shame? November 5, 2010. November 10, 2010. Yes, we know from Cornelius Holtorf that Archaeology is a Brand. Yes, we know that Indiana Jones is all in good fun (maybe) and it has attracted enormous numbers of students from comfortable industrialized countries to study archaeology. But what is inside the container?

Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. And what about Ravioli? March 30, 2011. So thanks to yet another failure of UNESCO to go beyond slogans and good intentions, let’s sit back and watch the spectacle of cultural stereotypes being packaged, branded, and declared “authentic” by the experts– while little or nothing is done to protect the distinctive ways of life that created– and still continues to create new forms of Intangible Cultural Heritage. From The Guardian 27 March 2011:. After year...

Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. The Search Goes on, but…. April 25, 2014. Lord knows that authenticity in cultural heritage is a tricky– and sometimes even impossible– concept. Some seek to exploit it for purely economic value. Others seek to insulate it from any commercial entanglements at all. Yet whatever the extremes, authenticity in some form. Valuable. It is a quality that everyone seeks. Step right up, folks! Authenticity on display…. That takes up where this one leaves off.

Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. Newsflash from Jerusalem: Pot Calls Kettle Black. October 11, 2011. October 11, 2011. A truly pitiful example of the ideologically inspired and financed archaeological work in the “City of David.” Is this a battle for “science” or just envy in not being allowed to claim the credit for another “this land really belongs to us” claim. Jeremiah’s Pit would have been another fine addition to the bogus Mazar corpus. See, for example, blog report from. Dr Eila...

Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. A Truly Unique Talent. February 22, 2010. February 24, 2010. Is at it again– running to the press before properly submitting her finds to serious archaeological scrutiny. Now it is Solomon’s Wall. Before it was David’s Palace. Also Nehemiah’s Wall. Also the Seal of Temech. None of them have stood the test of time– except to those who desperately want to believe…. The Queen of Sheba’s guestroom? Stay tuned for more updates…. In his hyperbolic blog. Who c...

Field Notes from a Globalized and Tribalized World. When Will They Ever Learn? April 1, 2011. April 1, 2011. Regarding the recent “early-books-of-Christianity-discovered-by-a-bedouin-scam” reported here. And elsewhere over the past week or so, information provided by Jim Davila’s always sensible and reliable Paleojudaica.com. Should put the whole thing to bed once and for all. Philip Davies should know better. Margaret Baker should get her head out of the clouds. And what about Ravioli? Read the report I...
