That was me when I first read this book. Slotaġ992 "The Age of the Calaveras Skull: Dating the "Piltdown Man" of the New World" Indeed, all Cremos claims have been addressed by the academic community, including using absolute dating methods to place these artifacts and bones, derived from "use-related secondary context", in their proper historical context. For example, the Calaveras skull, alleged to be hundreds of thousands of years old, was dated to 1000BP by radiocarbon dating methods (Taylor et al 1992). I am surprised by the plethora of uncritical readers in this forum. Cremo takes examples of archaeological artifacts and bones that are out of "insitu" context and makes fantastic historical claims regarding these specimens. Both the former and latter laws of archaeology must be satisfied to make any conclusion at all. ![]() He also fails to connote the "principal of association". ![]() Cremo sets out misinforming the reader about archaeological and geological site formation, confusing the "principle of stratigraphy" (superposition) with stratification. ![]() This book is a classic example of both a "strawman arguement" and a "red herring". Michael Cremo has set archaeology back more than 100 years. ![]() ![]() Though not opposed in principle to an integral Yugoslav unification, Bošković preferred staunch defence of Serbian Macedonia from Bulgarian ambitions and the acquisition of Serb-populated provinces in southern Hungary, while in the west he seems to have been content with the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, part of Slavonia and an outlet to the Adriatic Sea in Dalmatia. His dealings with them were made more difficult on account of the siding of a group of British “friends of Serbia”, the most prominent of which were Robert William Seton-Watson and Henry Wickham Steed, with the Croat émigrés. He suspected the Croat émigrés, especially Supilo, of pursuing exclusive Croat interests under the ruse of the Yugoslav programme. In stark contrast to other Serbian diplomats, Bošković was not enthusiastic about Yugoslav unification. He found himself in close contact with the members of the Yugoslav Committee, an organisation of the irredentist Yugoslav émigrés from Austria-Hungary in which two Croat politicians, Frano Supilo and Ante Trumbić, were leading figures. ![]() ![]() This paper seeks to examine the outlook of the Serbian Minister in London, Mateja Mata Bošković, during the first half of the Great War on the South Slav (Yugoslav) question – a unification of all the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in a single state, which was Serbia’s war aim. ![]() |
