Queer Archaeology
and analysis of ancient grafitti and inscriptions.
http://home.earthlink.net/~ekerilaz/archaeo.html

Extractions: Queer Archaeology and Anthropology I have always loved archaeology and helped my parents on a dig in Texas when I was a small child. After coming out of the closet, I lived for several years in Moab, Utah and explored Anasazi and Fremont ruins all over the Colorado Plateau ecosystem. I found two ancient petroglyphs (and heard of a third) that apparently depict homosexual activities, which sparked my interest in the possibility of Queer Archaeology. [Above - petroglyph of two men with erections about to embrace each other, dating to circa 800 CE, located in Hidden Valley just above Moab, Utah; they may have been shamans because they also seem to have animal characteristics like rabbit ears and beaver tails. On the same panel, just below these two ithyphallic men is famous scene of a long line of dancing "Kokopelli" figures.] [Above - a Late Classic Mayan cave painting and fragmentary hieroplyphs dating to the 700s from Naj Tunich, Guatemala, depicting an older man and a younger man in an erotic embrace, which Dr. Karen Olsen Bruhns of SFSU's Anthropology Dept. calls "the only genuine depiction known of male-male erotic interaction" in the Americas. The younger man (right) sports what seems to be a Lunar Goddess hair lock down his back. Click on image to see photos of the original painting, prior to being vandalized.]

For two and one-half millennia, the only known account of this momentous event was in II Kings 18-19, which reports that Sennacherib's invincible army was laid low by the angel of the Lord, after which Sennacherib returned to Nineveh where he was murdered by his sons. Nineveh itself fell to the Medes and Babylonians in 612 B.C., its splendor buried under the shifting dust of northern Mesopotamia. General view of Kuyunjik, the palace mound of Nineveh.

Lothene Experimental Archeology Group, Living History, Scotland, Medieval Re-ena
Living history group which researches and recreates aspects of the life of ordinary people in Lothian (Lothene) from Roman times to the 18th Century.
http://www.lothene.demon.co.uk

Extractions: The 11th Century was the period in which the present day boundaries of Scotland were established. Lothene (Lothian), which had previously been a part of Northumbria, was incorporated into the Kingdom of Scotland by King Duncan. This was also the time of Macbeth, Malcolm Canmore, and St Margaret, when Scotland changed from being a primarily Celtic society to one with wider European links.
Issues In Ethnicity, Folk Religion And Symbolism
Christopher Fennell, a University of Virginia anthropologist, describes a small Xmarked clay skull, an article of malevolent conjuration buried beneath a Virginia farm house between 1780 and 1860, raising significant issues in ethnic studies, folk magic, anthropology, and historical archaeology.
http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/users/fennell/highland/harper/symbol.html

Extractions: Excavations at a late eighteenth-century house site in Loudoun County, Virginia, uncovered an artifact which was likely an object of malevolent conjuration. Such artifacts of "magic to harm" have rarely been found (Wilkie, 1997, p. 88). Due to their covert and secretive character, one would expect the least amount of sharing and borrowing of such traditions across ethnic boundaries. Also due to their secretive nature, such beliefs and practices are typically under-reported in the historical documentary record, and archaeological investigations provide a valuable avenue of detecting and interpreting their use and significance (Wilkie, 1997, p. 93). An initial question is whether this artifact uncovered at the Loudoun house site can be interpreted as the material expression of folk religious beliefs, or something else. Next, if an artifact of folk religion, can it be attributed to one or more ethnic groups, be they African American or European American? Similarly, would it have been meaningful only to members of one of those groups, or would it have been meaningful to members of multiple groups? If it would have been meaningful to multiple groups, what significance does that factor hold?
