Hecht, Jr. For more photographs of the phiale and updates on the lawsuit, see The Phiale of Achyris The Morgantina Hoard Fifteen silver vessels at the Metropolitan Museum of Art may have been looted from the site of Morgantina, Sicily. Archaeologist Malcolm Bell, who directs American excavations at Morgantina, gives his account of the hoard's discovery and the subsequent investigation. A recent article in the Boston Globe named the dealer who had sold the Morgantina hoard to the Metropolitan as Robert E. Hecht, Jr.the same person who had sold them the gold phiale in 1962 and the famous Euphronios krater in 1972. The article also named the purchase price as $2.74 million and said that Italian authorities had interviewed the looters who had found the treasure.

    All tours to Greece and Turkey are led by Dick, an ex-hockey player, founder of Sporades Tours, and Professor of Classics at USC from 1976 until his retirement in 1999. In 1975 Dick taught Psychiatry at the University of Colorado Medical School (the subtitle of his book The Origin of the Gods is "A Psychoanalytic Study of Greek Theogonic Myth").
    He has written many books and articles about antiquity (and other subje cts) and he has been taking people on unconventional tours to the eastern Mediterranean for 25 consecutive years. He is (for what it's worth) the world's leading authority on the psychoanalytic study of antiquity, he knows (and will tell you) the secret meaning of all the Greek myths, he speaks modern Greek, some Turkish, and hardly any Arabic, and he claims to know everyone in Greece and Turkey.

[LARGER IMAGE] (Mark Rose) In November 1995, U.S. Customs agents seized an ancient gold phiale, a vessel used for pouring libations, from the Fifth Avenue residence of retired financier Michael Steinhardt. Today, Raymond W. Kelly, U.S. Customs Commissioner, officially returned the antiquity to Girogio Radicati, Italy's Consul General. Kelly noted the return as an example of international cooperation, while Radicati stated that Italy considered the phiale as part of world heritage and would act as its custodian for future generations. After being briefly displayed in Rome, the phiale will be placed in a museum in Sicily for permanent exhibition.

    Jamestown Ceramic Research Group
    Home
    Resources : JCRP The Jamestown Ceramics Research Group has been formed to identify and define all the ceramic ware types that appear on pre-1650 Jamestown and vicinity sites. The impetus for this work is a conference that is to take place in the year 2000 entitled Capital and Countryside: Jamestown and its Hinterland. The objective of the conference is to gather and study the data that has been collected through the years on 17th-century archaeological sites in the Chesapeake. Pottery comprises an important component of this study for, of all the classes of artifacts, it yields the richest record of date, social status, household routine, and trade. Valid comparisons of the ceramic information, however, require a standard nomenclature for both ware and form. The Jamestown Ceramics Research Group proposes to do this by maintaining an on-line study collection of these wares. A more detailed proposal of our goals and methods can be found here This is just the beginning at an attempt to standardize the nomenclature of ceramic types found on pre-1650 sites in Virginia and to identify where those wares are being found. Eventually, this work could be extended to the latter half of the 17th century, and perhaps even the 18th century, and encompass much more of the Chesapeake region. It is anticipated that Native American ceramics could also be incorporated into this format. Your input is needed for this project. We need to know where 17th-century wares are being found, in what form, and in what context. Please send your comments to

    Obituary published in the Society for American archaeology newsletter. Conducted excavations at the Italian Neolithic site of Capo Alfiere, Calabria, and at the Greek colonies of Metaponto, italy, and Chersonesos in the Crimea.
    http://www.saa.org/publications/saabulletin/16-2/SAA10.html
    Jon Morter
    Jon Morter, 41, was killed tragically in a road accident in May 1997. At the time of his death, Jon was nearing the end of his first year as assistant professor of anthropology at the College of Charleston, South Carolina. He and Hillary, his wife, had driven to Washington, D.C., on a weekend trip with their daughters and were returning home when the accident occurred in Virginia. Jon Morter was born in Lancashire, England, March 17, 1956, and grew up in Kidderminster, near Birmingham. He began his archaeological career at 16, digging Romano-British sites near his home in Worcestershire. After receiving his B.A. in ancient history and archaeology from the University of Birmingham in 1977, Jon spent several years working as an artist for the British Institute in Ankara. He then emigrated to the United States, where he spent three years on contract archaeology projects in Montana and Wyoming. A career at the University of Texas-Austin followed, including an M.A. on Hittite social structure in 1986 and a Ph.D. on the Italian Neolithic in 1992. After several years as a research associate in Austin with responsibility for information systems and data analysis and publication, Jon moved to Charleston to begin teaching at the College of Charleston. As an archaeologist, Jon was responsible for major excavations and surveys at the Italian Neolithic site of Capo Alfiere, Calabria, and at the Greek colonies of Metaponto, Italy, and Chersonesos in the Crimea; these were carried out under the aegis of the Institute of Classical Studies (University of Texas). Several of these projects were nearing publication at the time of his death. Jon greatly enjoyed field archaeology and dreamed of writing a definitive manual of field techniques. At the time of his death, he and I were planning new fieldwork on Neolithic sites in Calabria.

    31. Jones, Barri (1936-1999)
    Obituary in The Guardian July 23 1999 of the charismatic Welshborn Professor at Manchester University, a noted Romanist. Contributions to archaeology included aspects of ancient italy, north Africa, Roman Britain and Roman mining, and also played a leading role both in popularising his subject and creating a professional regional archaeology service.

    Barri Jones Charismatic archaeologist who transformed our knowledge of the Roman and Celtic worlds and brought his subject to a wider public Anthony Birley
    Friday July 23, 1999
    The Guardian
    Professor Barri Jones, who has died from a heart attack aged 63, was a charismatic and much-loved figure in British archaeology for more than 30 years. He transformed our knowledge of many aspects of ancient Italy, north Africa, Roman Britain and Roman mining, and played a leading role both in popularising his subject and in creating a professional regional archaeology service. If Barri's existence often seemed hectic - his students in the 1960s and 70s called him "Four-D Jones" and his lateness was renowned (he tended to stop for rapid field surveys en route to meetings) - his restless enthusiasm was immensely attractive. He was always a hands-on archaeologist, wielding spade and shovel as well as trowel and camera. He was born at St Helens, Lancashire, to Welsh-speaking parents, both teachers, who gave him a splendid set of Welsh Christian names but resolutely gave up speaking Welsh for his sake at his birth - to his regret. They later moved to High Wycombe, where he went to school, and from there as classics scholar to Jesus college, Oxford. He had already identified Roman roads and a new fort in Wales. His first article appeared when he was 16, and he was offered a lectureship in Wales before taking finals. But he was persuaded to begin a doctorate instead. As scholar to the British school in Rome (1959-1962), he joined John Ward-Perkins's Southern Etruria project.

    Photographs by Giovanni Lattanzi Newsflash: Two more ships have been found. Go to preliminary report Nine Roman ships have been uncovered during construction at Pisa's San Rossore train station. Ship D (right), a small utilitarian vessel, is the best preserved. Summoned last April to survey a construction site in Pisa, Italian archaeologist Stefano Bruni never imagined what he would find: nine well-preserved Roman shipsthe largest group of ancient vessels ever discovered in a single placeand part of Pisa's classical port. Eight months of patient testing had yielded little, and construction of an office building at the San Rossore train station was proceeding. Then, in December, builders sinking a corrugated steel retaining wall to support the sides of the foundation pit realized they had bisected an ancient ship , nearly intact, its wooden frame and planks still held together by copper nails. During the next five months, eight others were found, dating between the second century B.C. and the fifth century A.D., from Pisa's florescence as a Republican naval naval base to the end of the Roman Empire. Bruni's original cores had stopped in what seemed like sterile soil three inches shy of the discovery of a lifetime. Clad in a professorial tweed jacket, pipe in hand, Bruni, of the Archaeological Superintendency of Tuscany, surveys his domain with the confidence of a man whose name is made. The vast foundation pit, nearly 300 feet long and 150 feet wide, stretches out before us, a temporary concrete floor interrupted at intervals by green corrugated plastic roofs supported on scaffolding. Beneath each shelter, archaeologists from the Florence-based contract firm

    Valley of Kings online
    LONDON. The Theban Mapping Project, under the direction of Kent Weeks of the American University in Cairo, has been working to establish a comprehensive database of the Valley of the Kings in Egypt for the past 23 years. It has now launched an interactive website ( www.thebanmappingproject.com ) that presents its work with state of the art virtual technology. The site includes an interactive atlas of more than 250 tomb mappings; 66 narrated tours of the Valley including a 3D exploration of one of the largest tombs, KV14; a database of some 2,000 images, and articles about the site including a glossary, bibliography and timeline. Details of KV5, the tomb belonging to the sons of Pharaoh Rameses II which was discovered by Dr Weeks in 1995, are also online. Archaeologists uncover Mies van der Rohe villa Archaeology is getting more modern—or rather, its uses are. The foundations of a villa built 1925-27 by the eminent Bauhaus architect, Mies van der Rohe, have been uncovered in the Polish town of Gubin. It was the first Modern building by the architect, commissioned by industrialist Ernst Wolf and destroyed in World War II. The excavation project was carried out by an international team of 12 students from the Technische Universität at Cottbus. The villa may now be partially rebuilt or used to inspire artistic interventions. Iraq demands return of looted art

    Human Skeletons and Society in Prehistoric Italy
    John Robb This research, ongoing since 1990, focuses upon skeletal signs of health, violence and activity in prehistoric Italian skeletons. To date, about 400 skeletons from about 40 sites have been studied. The earliest site, Ripa Tetta, is a Neolithic village dating to the sixth millennium BC. The latest site, Pontecagnano, is an Iron Age cemetery dating to the 7th-3rd centuries BC. Prehistoric Italian skeletons reflect a number of cultural practices. Many were trepanned; about three fourths of trepanations are found in males. Some, however, are known in females (see Rivista di Antropologia 72, 1994). Trepanned male, Bronze Age, Grotta dello Scoglietto, Toscana; note also benign osteoma Dental remains reveal a practice of intentional tooth removal in Neolithic women, possibly for ritual, cosmetic or ethno-medical reasons (see Antiquity Pre-mortem loss of two incisors, Neolithic female, Fonteviva, Puglia Skeletal remains portray long-term changes in violence. Skeletal trauma appears highest in the Neolithic, uncommon in the Copper Age, and moderate to high in the Bronze and Iron Ages a pattern which contradicts the image of the peaceful Neolithic and the warlike Copper Age derived from art and artifacts, and which complex changes in the social use of violence (see "Violence and Gender in Early Italy", in Troubled Times: Violence and Warfare in the Past

    NOTES FROM THE FIELD
    The Bova Marina Project
    Welcome to the Bova Marina Project . We, the members of the Bova Marina project, are a group of archaeologists and students working in Southern Italy and we would like to keep you posted about our on-going investigations into the prehistory of this small area located the Italian region known as Calabria . We invite you to follow along with us as we set up our project, set out on surveying the area, proceed with our excavation, and finally work on our results when we return from the field. Now that we are back from the field, we'll be updating our journal entries a little less regularly than we were doing previously, but check out the different sections to see how analysis is progressing and what discussions are going on in the question and answer section. We will continue to provide you with an opportunity to ask us questions about things you are curious about. Click on Journal Updates to find out what we're doing. Click on Ask The Archaeologists to post your questions and see the answers.
