Residue analysis suggests ritual use of tobacco at the ancient Mesoamerican city of Cotzumalhuapa, Guatemala

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/residue-analysis-suggests-ritual-use-of-tobacco-at-the-ancient-mesoamerican-city-of-cotzumalhuapa-guatemala/B8DE0CCECF3F7F378013E4D17DF7E0A2#article

The widespread significance of tobacco in Mesoamerica is documented in historical and ethnographic sources, yet recovery of the organic remains of this plant from archaeological contexts is rare. Detection of nicotine in residue analysis of three cylindrical ceramic vases recovered from cache deposits near the El Baúl acropolis suggests that these vessels contained tobacco infusions or other liquid preparations.

 

Cheers,

Moira

A joint Egyptian-U.S. archaeological mission has uncovered the upper part of a huge statue of King Ramses II during excavations south of the Egyptian city of Minya, Egypt's tourism and antiquities ministry said on Monday.  The limestone block is about 3.8 metres (12.5 feet) high and depicts a seated Ramses wearing a double crown and a headdress topped with a royal cobra, Bassem Jihad, head of the mission's Egyptian team, said in a statement.

Making wine in earthenware vessels: a comparative approach to Roman vinification.

Wine was deeply embedded in all aspects of Roman life and its role in society, culture and the economy has been much studied. Ancient Roman texts and archaeological research provide valuable insights into viticulture and the manufacture, trade and consumption of wine but little is known of the sensory nature of this prized commodity.

Kia ora koutou, 

Am reaching out based on your past involvement with NZAA submissions or feedback through the RMA Reform process. 

I'm sure you all have seen the latest news regarding the 'Fast Track Approvals Bill', which passed its first reading in parliament and now referred to the Environment Committee. 

The NZAA will be preparing a submission once the consultation period opens. A significant area impacting the archaeological community is the separate approval process under the HNZPT Act and the Reserves Act. 

Would like to gauge your capacity to assist with the drafting. Any experiences or learnings under the COVID fast track legislation would also be a benefit. I'll be touching base with ICOMOS Aotearoa and HPA, but if you have any other relevant contacts, let me know. 



  • Garry, can also include this in the next E-news edition?

Look forward to hearing from you, and will be in touch with clearer dates once available. 

Rebecca

Kia ora Garry

could you please pop the following into the next couple of Enews send outs? Thank you - Toni-maree


Thinking about doing an event for this year's archaeology week? Not sure where to start? Or perhaps you are super organised and already have all you ducks in a row...Either way please feel free to contact myself or one of the handful but friendly area co-ordinators to discuss. Events/contributions to archaeology week can be as simple as social media posts/reels highlighting your work (#nzarchweek2024) or they can be static exhibitions (local libraries are always keen to help with this), walks and talks are always  popular events and an excellent way to engage with the public. Whatever it is, it would be great to hear about it!
