GIS For Archaeology ESRI is the world leader in GIS (geographic information system) software and technology. This site features GIS mapping software, map Web services, http://www.esri.com/industries/archaeology/
Extractions: Museums rely on the Internet and Internet map servers to make archaeological and historic preservation GIS data readily available to a broad audience. GIS for Archaeology About GIS for Archaeology News and Community User Showcase Purchase Resources Archaeologists, as researchers and resource managers, understand the importance of geography. Its variables exert a strong influence on human behavior today, and archaeologists are aware of the significance of this influence in the past. Geography also influences the degree of exposure of archaeological sites, and the impacts that they face from human activity and natural forces. GIS facilitates mapping to analyze depositional patterns as well as catalog and quantify artifacts. It can provide a well-structured descriptive and analytical tool for identifying spatial patterns.

Geneva Seizure archaeology magazine feature article by Andrew Slayman on one of the largest recoveries of stolen art treasures. http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/geneva/index.html
Extractions: Your browser does not support javascript Geneva Seizure May 3, 1998; updated September 14, 1998 by Andrew L. Slayman On September 13, 1995, Swiss police raided four bonded warehouses in Geneva, seizing a large number of artifacts allegedly smuggled from Italy. The premises were registered to a Swiss company called Editions Services, which police traced to a Roman named Giacomo Medici. In January 1997, the Carabinieri, Italy's national police force, arrested Medici, whom they described as "the real 'mastermind' of much of [Italy's] illegal traffic in archaeological objects." Medici claims that he acquired all of the artifacts legally and that he is not the "monster" he has been portrayed as. He also claims that the search was conducted without his presence or that of a representative of Editions Services, and that the police did not find documents, now missing, that would have shown the legal provenience of the artifacts. He is believed to have been released on his own reconnaissance, and to date he has not been charged with anything. According to the Carabinieri, Italy's national police force, the warehouses contained 10,000 artifacts worth 50 billion lire (about $35 million), which would make the seizure one of the largest antiquities seizures ever. Medici disputes these numbers, saying that the warehouses contained between 200 and 300 artifacts worth far less than $35 million.

Journal Of Caribbean Archaeology South Carolina Institute of archaeology and Anthropology The Journal of Caribbean archaeology is intended to provide a refereed publication outlet for http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/jca/default.htm
Extractions: Florida Museum of Natural History The Journal of Caribbean Archaeology is intended to provide a refereed publication outlet for archaeological research in the Caribbean and surrounding area. The development of our understanding of both the historic and prehistoric past in the Caribbean has been hampered by the lack of a journal devoted expressly to archaeology in the region, and archaeologists have resorted to publishing in a variety of venues. Many of these are not widely or readily available or are typically associated with another discipline. There is no journal devoted specifically to Caribbean archaeology, and it is this void that the Journal of Caribbean Archaeology seeks to fill.
Emanuel Point Shipwreck An underwater wreck thought to be from Tristan de Luna's 1559 expedition which sunk off the tip of Santa Rosa Island. The wreck is still being explored by state and university underwater archeologists with volunteer help. Includes virtual tour. http://www.flheritage.com/archaeology/projects/shipwrecks/emanuelpoint/
Extractions: Florida's earliest shipwreck site was discovered in 1992 by a team from the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research during a survey of Pensacola Bay. Preliminary excavations were conducted in conjunction with the Historic Pensacola Preservation Board and the University of West Florida. The investigations determined that the lower hull of a Colonial Spanish ship, along with its contents, are in a surprising state of preservation. Thus far, over 3,000 artifacts, as well as the remains of plants and animals, have been studied; yet only 20% of the site has been explored. Analyses of these finds support the hypothesis that the ship was part of the expedition of Trist¡n de Luna who led the first attempt by Europeans to colonize Florida in 1559. Only a month after his fleet arrived in Pensacola, a hurricane destroyed most of the ships at anchor in the bay.
