  • Primitive and Archaic Aspect Is Strangely Reminiscent of Prehistoric and Rupestral Art
    P R I M I T I V E & A R C H A I C M A R T I N D O U S T A R Arts d’Afrique, d’Asie, d’Océanie et des Amériques Archaism in anthropology is defined as the absence of writing and the economy of subsistence. Although the word has a negative connotation in modern language, often associated with backward and obsolete concepts, it reveals a whole different meaning when it comes to aesthetic and arts. That is precisely what all this is about here... 1 RARE SABEAN BRONZE PROTOME Qataban Kingdom, Yemen, Arabic Peninsula, circa 700-100 BC Height : 18 cm Provenance : Private collection, New York Galerie David Ghezelbash, Paris (acquired in 1999) Private collection, Paris In the shape of the powerful forequarters of a bull, his massive head with round muzzle, grooved nostrils, and ribbed bulging brows, symbolic motifs and a crescent moon engraved on the fore- head, a lozenge-decorated diadem between the horns. This rare Sabean inscription is dedicated to the moon god and refers to the people of Qataban, the most prominent Yemeni kingdom in the second half of the 1st millenium before Christ. A written report by Prof. Walter W. Muller, from the Center for Near and Middle-Eastern studies of Philipps Univeristy of Marburg, describes in detail the context and the meaning of these different motifs. “The South Arabians before Islam were polytheists and revered a large number of deities. Most of these were astral in concept but the significance of only a few is known.

  • Plant Rarity Under Federal and State Laws and Regulations
    Plant Rarity Under Federal and State Laws and Regulations Various government laws, regulations and policies protect rare plants. Probably the most surprising aspect of rare plant protection is that, unlike animals, plants are the property of the landowner whether that might be an individual, corporation, or government agency. This means that the protection of rare plants is under control of the landowner unless, in some cases, a government-regulated action is affecting them. Then the government entity regulating the action may require that protection efforts take place to preserve the rare plants and their habitat. Federal Law One of the results of the environmental movement of the 1960s and 70s was the enactment of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (https://www.fws.gov/endangered/laws-policies/index.html). The Act was designed to prevent the extinction of plants and animals, addressing problems of both exploitation and habitat destruction. The Act defines an endangered species as any species of animal or plant that is in danger of extinction over all or a significant portion of its range. A threatened species is defined as one that is likely to become endangered. The Act regulates the "taking" of endangered and threatened plants on federal land or when they are affected by federal actions or the use of federal funds. Specific protection is outlined in the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and states: It is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to: import any such species into, or export any such species

  • University of Michigan Radiocarbon Dates Xii H
    [Ru)Ioc!RBo1, Vol.. 10, 1968, P. 61-114] UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN RADIOCARBON DATES XII H. R. CRANE and JAMES B. GRIFFIN The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan The following is a list of dates obtained since the compilation of List XI in December 1965. The method is essentially the same as de- scribed in that list. Two C02-CS2 Geiger counter systems were used. Equipment and counting techniques have been described elsewhere (Crane, 1961). Dates and estimates of error in this list follow the practice recommended by the International Radiocarbon Dating Conferences of 1962 and 1965, in that (a) dates are computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5570 yr, (b) A.D. 1950 is used as the zero of the age scale, and (c) the errors quoted are the standard deviations obtained from the numbers of counts only. In previous Michigan date lists up to and in- cluding VII, we have quoted errors at least twice as great as the statisti- cal errors of counting, to take account of other errors in the over-all process. If the reader wishes to obtain a standard deviation figure which will allow ample room for the many sources of error in the dating process, we suggest doubling the figures that are given in this list. We wish to acknowledge the help of Patricia Dahlstrom in pre- paring chemical samples and David M. Griffin and Linda B. Halsey in preparing the descriptions. I. GEOLOGIC SAMPLES 9240 ± 1000 M-1291.
