Pryor is that lovely-sounding thing, a prehistorian. ❋ Unknown (2010)
(Childe was an eminent British prehistorian whose Marxism got him into hot water in his native Australia; during the early cold war, he maintained contact with archaeologists in the Soviet Union.) "Would a die-hard anticommunist really recommend a Marxist archaeologist to a student?" demands Golub. ❋ Unknown (2008)
I turned up a 2006 article by Zapata et al. which takes note of both this hypothesis and that of Brian Hayden, a leading prehistorian at Simon Fraser University in Canada, who suggests that cultivated foods were first consumed as luxury or prestige items, rather than staples, as part of the phenomenon of feasting that is common to complex hunter-gatherer societies, an idea which seems to further strengthen and complement Wadley and Martin's hypothesis. ❋ Unknown (2009)
As a prehistorian I don't follow Classical studies closely and was surprised that someone had to write a book correcting the revisionists ❋ Unknown (2006)
And as Binford had argued in his debate with the prehistorian Glynn Isaac, an archaeologist who assumed that early humans were great hunters might misinterpret a collection of gazelle bones as evidence of a glorious Great Hunt rather than recognizing them as the gnawed scraps left behind by hungry hyenas. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
Earlier archaeologists, most notably the British prehistorian Glyn Daniel, had concluded from stylistic similarities and differences among stone monuments that the earliest of them were constructed on Crete, Malta, and other sites in the Mediterranean. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
Such was the power of the novel explanation for the Neolithic Revolution that French prehistorian Jacques Cauvin first put forward during the 1970s. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
The phrase was coined by the Australian prehistorian V. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
After a year teaching in London, she got a call from the British prehistorian Glyn Daniel, who had recommended her for a position teaching European archaeology at Harvard University. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
Mellaart was skeptical: “Usually when people wish to show you something, it is nearly always things like coins, Roman lamps or Byzantine bronzes which do not interest me as a prehistorian.” ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
Just as Binford had argued, in his debate with the French prehistorian François Bordes, that the Neandertals used different tools for different tasks, so did he and like-minded colleagues contend that different cultures reflected different adaptive strategies. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
By combining the study of changes in artifact forms with observations of their contexts in stratified layers in archaeological sites, the prehistorian can develop relative chronologies for artifacts, sites, and cultures in any part of the world. ❋ Unknown (2001)
The 780,000-year-old site, located on the banks of the Jordan River in northern Israel, features a remarkable level of organic preservation that archaeologists have not encountered at any other contemporary site in Europe or Asia, Harvard prehistorian Ofer Bar-Yosef told ARCHAEOLOGY. ❋ Unknown (2000)
"Strata which contain fossil remains, manmade stone artifacts, and a lot of organic material were all destroyed," claims Na'ama Goren-Inbar, a prehistorian at Hebrew University in Jerusalem who excavates at Gesher, "We will never be able to scientifically study this material because it is all out of context." ❋ Unknown (2000)
The footprints appear to be those of an eight-year-old boy, according to prehistorian Michel-Alain Garcia of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Nanterre. ❋ Unknown (1999)
Meanwhile, a team of 15 specialists, directed by French prehistorian Jean Clottes, recently investigated a uninventoried room originally discovered by Chauvet. ❋ Unknown (1999)
Arrowheads found in Qatar in 1960 by Danish prehistorian Holgar Kapel and ash from ancient campfires found in Muscat in 1983 are the earliest evidence of the nomads who followed their flocks south from the Levant, settling the Arabian peninsula 8,000 years ago. ❋ Unknown (1997)
He was surprised then when Thomas Clements, a geologist from the University of Southern California, told the gathering that the site dated to only 70,000 years B.P. The date seemed doubtful as well to Kenneth Oakley, a prehistorian from the British Museum of Natural History, who had helped solve the Piltdown mystery. ❋ Virginia Morell (1995)
Overall, the gorge and its layers of bones and stone tools was, as Louis noted, a “veritable paradise” for both the paleontologist and the prehistorian. ❋ Virginia Morell (1995)
Camouflaging himself with leafy branches, he slowly advanced toward a gazelle, taking two hours to reduce the original 250 yards to six feet, “at which point,” the reporter noted, “the prehistorian brought down the gazelle with a perfectly timed flying tackle.” ❋ Virginia Morell (1995)
