How can a site be both a #Scheduledmonument and a #listedbuilding? Put simply, it is because there are multiple elements to the site which meet the criteria for both #listing and #scheduling. Its not always as simple as #buildings are listed and #archaeology is scheduled, each site is assessed on its own merits as no site is exactly the same. One such example from recent travels is Gleaston Castle, #Cumbria which is listed and scheduled for its upstanding structures and potential to contain significant #medieval archaeological remains (NHLE 1312114 & 1013966). Our colleagues at Aerial-Cam and SUMO Services (in totally unrelated work) have created a great 3D model of the castle here, for those of you who might not find yourselves in Cumbria anytime soon...! https://lnkd.in/e2GmXyiA

Key stakeholders from the Dutch cultural agency and the Executive Council met to discuss archaeology and heritage preservation on the island. They aimed to establish a partnership for sustainable management of cultural assets and to develop an approach plan. Statia faces challenges in preserving its rich archaeological sites due to rapid development and environmental issues. The meeting focused on strategies for research, conservation, and community engagement while considering ongoing infrastructure projects. The main outcome is a commitment to create a comprehensive management plan aligning with international standards but tailored to local needs. This plan will assist various government departments, including infrastructure, nature, and economy (ENI), and project planning and development (PPMO). The partnership also emphasises education and outreach to foster local pride and shared responsibility in cultural preservation. Stakeholders are optimistic about the collaboration's impact on the island's heritage sector. #gisstatia #culture #heritage #archaeology #partnership

A unique historical landmark of Chersonesos Tavriysky was completely destroyed by #Russians Russian occupation authorities in Crimea continue to destroy a unique world heritage monument – Chersonesos Tavriysky. Scientists of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine sound the alarm: tons of concrete were piled on authentic archaeological remains during the construction of a new theater. "We have not won yet, but they have already lost": Akhtem Seitablayev shared his thoughts on the war in Ukraine Details Chersonesos Tavria is one of the oldest cities on the territory of Ukraine, founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. The monument is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is an extremely valuable source of information about ancient civilization. After the occupation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, Ukrainian scientists were actually banned from conducting research on the territory of Chersonesos. The occupiers actively use the monument for their propaganda purposes, falsifying history and assigning the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people. Russia uses cultural monuments as an ideological weapon. Changing the mental significance of cultural heritage and broadcasting hostile narratives translates into the substitution of the monument. This can be observed at heritage sites in Crimea. Negative processes are now taking place with the only monument of world importance with Chersonesos Tavriysky," notes Evelina Kravchenko, senior scientific employee of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.” #ukrainianhistory #science #architecture #heritage #unesco #crimea

What do we know of Mary Magdalene and how do we know it--our earliest records--but including the excavations at Magdala or Migdal and whether she might be from that city. In this video I survey the extraordianry archaeological discoveries at first century Magdala, on the NW shores of the Dead Sea--the possible town of Mary Magdalene. It was far from a quaint little village, but a large urban center of commerce and trade, sophistication, and importance. And not only one, but TWO first century synagogues have now been uncovered.

Consider the intriguing notion that the Pyramids of Giza are merely the visible portions of vast obelisks concealed beneath the sands of Egypt. This concept presents the ancient structures not only as remarkable achievements of engineering and artistry but as components of even more expansive monuments buried below the desert. Such a premise could serve as the foundation for a captivating film narrative, exploring themes of history, archaeology, and the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of our most celebrated landmarks. I just wanna know, how did their #safety department worked?

The Kostyonki–Borshchyovo archaeological complex is an area where numerous Upper Paleolithic archaeological sites have been found, located around the villages of Kostyonki (also Kostenki) and Borshchyovo (also Borshchevo). The area is found on the western (right) bank of the Don River in Khokholsky District, Voronezh Oblast, Russia, some 25 km south of the city of Voronezh.[1] The 26 Paleolithic sites of the area are numbered Kostenki 1–21 and Borshchevo 1–5. It is known for its high concentration of cultural remains of anatomically modern humans from the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic era, before 40,000 years ago.[2][3] Finds are on exhibit in situ, at the State Archaeological Museum–Reserve Kostyonki built atop the mammoth bone circle Kostenki 11.[4][5] Kostyonki is considered as belonging to the Aurignacian culture.
