  • Kd Lald`Fr;K¡
    Megalithic Cultures c`gn~ik’kkf.kd laLd`fr;k¡ Dr. Anil Kumar Professor Ancient Indian History and Archaeology University of Lucknow [email protected] [email protected] Introduction According to V. Gordon Childe the term ‘Megalith’ is derived from two Greeks words, megas means large and lithos means stone and originally introduced by antiquaries to describe a fairly easily definable class of monuments in western and northern Europe, consisting of huge, undress stones. In other words, the Megaliths usually refer to the burials made of large stones in graveyard away from the habitation area. Meadows Taylor believed that resemblances of the east and west were not merely accidental and that “the actual monuments of celto-scythian tribes are found in India and being examined are found to agree in all respects with those of Europe.” James Fergusson argued that they were all “erected by partially civilized races after they had come in contact with the Romans.’ He also stated that it was difficult to comprehend “how and when intercourse could have taken place which led to their similarity.” People like Dubreuil argued an Aryan origin for the megaliths. Elliot and Perry saw the south Indian megaliths and monumental stone architecture as one of the elements reflecting a manifestation of the Egyptian archaic civilization as far back as 1923. In 1872, Fergusson brought out his excellent work entitled “Rude Stone Monuments in all Countries: their age and uses. This first attracted the attention of scholars. Types of megaliths The megaliths are, indeed, among the most widespread remains of stone both in time and space.

  • Draft Environmental Assessment for the Northern Border Remote
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF NORTHERN BORDER REMOTE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM PROJECT SWANTON SECTOR PHASE I U.S. BORDER PATROL U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WASHINGTON, D.C. February 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) proposes to construct, operate, and maintain relocatable and permanent Remote Video Surveillance Systems (RVSS) towers, and the colocation of equipment on existing equipment and buildings to provide long-term, permanent surveillance in the USBP Swanton Sector. With the RVSS, CBP can maintain surveillance over large areas, contributing to agent safety, and increasing operational effectiveness as they detect, identify, and classify incursions/illegal entry and resolve the incursions with the appropriate level of response. Purpose and Need There are currently areas along the U.S./Canada border in the Swanton Sector Area of Responsibility where cross-border violators smuggle goods across the border along remote trails and roads. CBP proposes to improve the USBP’s efficiency of detection, identification, and apprehension of cross-border violators through the installation of RVSSs. The systems enable U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) agents to survey rural and remote areas and identify and classify illegal entries without committing numerous agents in vehicles to perform the same functions. The increasing frequency and nature of illegal cross-border activities, as well as the geographic area over which these activities occur, create a need for a technology-based surveillance capability that can effectively collect, process, and distribute information. Proposed Action and Alternatives Considered CBP proposes to construct, operate, and maintain relocatable and permanent RVSS towers, and the colocation of equipment on a commercial cell tower to provide long-term, permanent surveillance in the USBP Swanton Sector.

BAHAR Norman, Oklahoma 2012 “THE SEA OF TROUBLE WE ARE SWIMMING IN”: PEOPLE OF THE DAWNLAND AND THE ENDURING PURSUIT OF A NATIVE ATLANTIC WORLD A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ______________________________ Dr. Joshua A.

Anderson ______________________________ Dr. Karl H. Offen © Copyright by MATTHEW R. BAHAR 2012 All Rights Reserved. For Allison Acknowledgements Crafting this dissertation, like the overall experience of graduate school, occasionally left me adrift at sea. At other times it saw me stuck in the doldrums. Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation.
