The meeting assembled an interdisciplinary group of nearly 50 archaeologists and art historians, geologists and geochemists from the U.S.A. and 14 European and Near Eastern countries to discuss the provenance, quarrying, transport and use of stone from prehistoric to early Christian times, both in Europe and in the Near East. The papers which reflect a merger between classicism and geotechnology, thus deal with (1) quarries from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine period, their technology and organization, (2) quarry prospection through satellite imaging, (3) dressing of artifacts near the quarries, (4) trade, availability and archaeological use of certain stones in antiquity, (5) determination of obsidian, flint, granite, marble, limestones, sandstones and arkoses from Europe, Asia Minor and the Near East by means of petrological and chemical analysis, trace element analysis, electron microprobe and stable isotope analysis, ESR spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence and X-ray powder diffradtometry, mercury porosimetry, cathodoluminiscence, light diffustion from laser-irradiated stones, computer assisted assessment of coloured stones or amulti-method appraoch, and (6) provenance determination applied to ancient artifacts.The volume is highly recommended for those who wish to combine a journey into classical scholarship with geochemical sciences.

Stones of the Gods: Ancient Stones from Corsica The Tyurganat Site; nick-named as: "Tyugga" ----------------------------------- Approx. 150 Sculpted Stones depicted as; Animals & Man, Idols from various ages; Egyptian to Paleolithic Stone age, and further back to dinosaur beginnings often called the Mesozoic Era. Cultures from: Druids, Pagan Revelers, Egyptian, Tribal & Indigenous Islander's; entertaining their lifestyles, stories & beliefs, w/the sculpted stones. Identification, Nomenclature & Photography of over a 150 Ancient Sculptures. --- Time Description: "Tyugga" is filled with massive Stone Heads, where one head, is as large as 20 men. Druid-Egyptian beginnings, somewhere around 10,000 BC. However, the stone carvings and arduous work intensity with animals sculptures in particular, appears to have been from a time earlier. Most likely from animal worshiper tribes, practicing "zoolatry," and some "zoomorphic." A time closer to prehistoric Europe, of 20,000 BC. Where Animal Gods were not only regularly worshiped, but revered as keepers of life and death, as we know it. The fossil stones go back into the Paleolithic eras, before 50,000 BC. --- Location: There are large & small deities, along the trails, cliffs and small isles in the Mediterranean Sea. --- Unusual Stone Idols: An Ocean Dragon (back cover), Gremlins, Giant Sloths, Trolls, Devils & Hobglins, Druids, Giant Rukh* Birds, High Priest Stones, Pharaoh Stones & Nordic Gods. (pronounced Rook, also spelled Ruk) Other Animal Gods (life-sized & Giant-sized*); Birds*, Snakes*, Boars*, Sea Turtles, Tiger, Antelope*, Hyena, Rat, Dogs, Lioness, Marmots, Rabbits*, Wolves*, Owls*, Lizards*, Seals, Whales, Walrus, Sharks, Fish, Gorilla*, Caterpillars*, Brahmas*, Crocodile, Hippo, Goat, Frogs*, etc. Table of Contents: to locate over 150 Gods (animal or human) & their group, by associated page number. On each of their subsequent pages, a photo is included for each, with details for each sculpted stone character, or group of characters. --- The Corsican Site: Statues & Headstones, at "Tyurganat" can be seen as a comical finding, as well as ritualistic and serious (a few old tribal villager heads). Tyugga is an Archaeological site that will forever change your mind; about just how Giant our former Dinosaurs and Dragons actually were. Stone nested coves, next to the sea, filled with giant reptiles & birds. Animals that consequently, built the mountains, from their own ancient stone bodies. --- From a Reviewer's Perspective: An excellent book, discussing Cosmology, and how the keys to their cultural beliefs can be discovered in even more details. She also relates stories, for many of the stone animal scenes. Stories that would have been a pivotal inclusion for their tribes, w/their day-to-day journey toward contentment. Stories from the statues, that include the stars used as a guide, which brought them their most fortunate lifestyles. A minus on some of the photography resolutions, as she says, but on the good side of it, there are more animals and idols included in this book, because of it. Meaning more stone discoveries, brought to you, in one book. The Ocean Dragon & Sea Dragon discovery is tremendous, not to undermine the other stones though, as they can be quite incredible, including the Egyptian; Sleeping Wolf Stone. --- Other Interesting Archaeological & Architectural sites from the Travels of Therese, include: The Mayan Pyramids; in Chetumal, Mexico Mount Vesuvius; Pompei, Italy The Acropolis; Athens, Greece Meteora Monastery; Meteroa, Greece The Catacombs; Vienna, Austria The Munster; Ulm, Germany (oldest & tallest church spire) Roman Ruins; Jublains, France Lochness; Scotland Cork and Bantry; Ireland Many older Villages in; Austria, Germany, France, Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, Mexico, Greece, Mallorca, Menorca, Mainland Spain, Portugal, Stone bridges of St Augustine, Florida. The Petroglyphs, of New Mexico
