Culture Barbarians get sophisticated By Andrew Curry B ERLINFor something so small, the "sky disk" has made quite an impact here. Not even a foot across, the 5-pound bronze disk is embossed in gold leaf with intricate images of the sun, moon, and 32 stars. In the plate's center is a representation of the star cluster Pleiades, which appears in the sky around the autumnal equinox and signaled the arrival of harvest season. What's most amazing is its age. More than 3,500 years old, the sky disk may well be the most important Bronze Age find in decades. Treasure hunters found it first in 2000 near the eastern German town of Nebra; police in Switzerland had to use an elaborate sting operation to get it safely into the hands of archaeologists. Its recovery was front-page news, and the find inspired headlines like "Culture of the Star Wizards" from the weekly Der Spiegel. "It's an absolutely key findthis is the first accurate picture of the cosmos in human history," says Harald Meller, head of the Halle Institute for Archaeological Research, where the object is being studied. "It's astonishing to people that this was found in Central Europe and not Egypt or Mesopotamia." Nebra's sky disk isn't the only artifact that has people here buzzing. When Berlin's Museum for Pre- and Early History reopens fully next spring, its centerpiece will be an elaborately decorated gold "hat," 29 inches tall and made out of over a pound of thinly beaten gold. Museum director Wilfried Menghin says that the object, dating from around 1000 B.C. and acquired recently from a private collection, was worn by Bronze Age astronomer-priests and that the decorations are actually an extremely complex solar-lunar conversion calendar. Many scholars are skeptical: The artifact is almost unique, they say, and it's impossible to prove the theory conclusively. What's more, while experts suspect it's from the Nuremberg area, no one really knows its origins. But if true, the achievement would beat the Greek discovery of a similar mathematical system by more than five centuries.

Reviewed by A. A. Donohue, Department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology, Bryn Mawr College, adonohue@brynmawr.edu.
Suzanne Marchand's history of German philhellenism and archaeology appears at a time when the precarious position of classical studies stands in peculiar contrast to the commercial success of Hercules in film and television. The current situation, involving as it does some similar tensions between academic and popular culture, invites comparison with the German case analyzed here. In ten rich chapters, Marchand surveys the "rise and fall" (xviii) of German philhellenism from Winckelmann through the emergence in our own time of a new consensus of the mission of archaeology in which the classical tradition no longer claims dominance. The introduction sets out the aims of the volume and its basic arguments. Marchand, a specialist in German intellectual history (x), has chosen to approach "[p]hilhellenism as an institutionally generated and preserved cultural trope, rather than as a personal passion" (xix). Her project combines social, intellectual, and institutional history in an attempt to expose the nature and impact of "the elitist culture of academic neoclassicism" (xix).

Home Archaeology Department of Archaeology Staff ... Tara / M3 motorway Joint-statement by twelve European-Irish associations The royal estate of Tara is Ireland's premier national monument, encapsulating over 5,000 years of extraordinary history and mythology. The poet WB Yeats wrote: "Tara is, because of its associations, probably the most consecrated spot in Ireland." The commuters of Co Meath need solutions to their traffic problems, but this is an instance where it is possible to satisfy local needs as well as taking account of the wider national and international perspective, for there are other routes available for this motorway and other transport options. Heritage and culture do not have to be sacrificed for development. Short-term need and long-term vision can be combined by rerouting the M3 toll-motorway away from the Tara-Skryne valley, perhaps along the P route east of Skryne which was originally favoured by the Government's own consultants, and remains the preferred option of all the Government's heritage advisers. With distance the perspective always changes; and perhaps what is unclear in the detail of the debate in Ireland has greater clarity when viewed from abroad: a four-lane motorway through the Tara landscape will destroy the integrity and beauty of a priceless cultural treasure, which expert archaeologists, historians and Celticists state is a landscape not just of importance to Ireland but to the whole world.

Archaeologists who have a head for heights
A NEW archaeological survey of sea stacs off the Western Isles has uncovered evidence suggesting that the rocky outposts were inhabited from a much earlier period than previously thought, potentially revolutionising current thinking about who used the stacs and why.
Hundreds of sea stacs in varying shape and size protrude above the sea along coast of Lewis, in the Western Isles. Some stacs are joined to the mainland by a rocky promontory, while others are completely surrounded by water. If a fragment of land is wider than its height it is considered to be an island, but otherwise it is a stac.
Members of STAC prepare to abseil down the cliff face before climbing the stac.
