Digging a deep hole

Sounds like the archaeologists have got wind of the criticism of late on the evidence of this latest email news bulletin I received, with latest study to download:

“Discovery of Bosnian Pyramids was not simply an ad-hoc affair, but required combination of classic geo-archaeological methods with modern geophysical and remote sensing technologies.

“The team, therefore, includes not only archaeologists, but also geologists (mineralogists/petrologists, hydrologists and sedimentologists), geophysicists, paleontologists, speleologists, anthropologists, mining  engineers as well as anthropologists. Each one of these experts brings their qualifications and expertise into the project with a great enthusiasm and collegiality.”

Bosnian pryamid envy?

Like the comment from my Tuesday Times letter blog criticising the Bosnian pyramid excavation approach so much I’m highlighting here. As I’ve have only been on a couple of archaeology digs myself I’m keeping out of it, though the invite out to Bosnia seems a good suggestion. Don’t criticise from afar, do it straight to Sam Osmanagic’s face!


Professor,

I must say, your diatribe smacks a bit of envy. “Amateurs”, “rich outsiders”, etc.

I wonder how many dig sites over the years have been mutilated by the “pros” rushing to posit or prove some personal theory or other?

Let the man be – he has as much or more experience than most field archaeologists in the field today.

Perhaps you would like an invite to help out in Bosnia?

I shall send cheese over to go with your w(h)ine.
