processual archaeology.
Why was Charles Lyell's 1865 book The Geologic Evidences for the Antiquity of Man
important? - Answers -it connected time and geology
- uniformitarianism: idea that same geological processes that go on today have always
occurred (shifting of plates, sedimentary layers)
What is "Deep Time"? - Answers -- the recognition that life was far more ancient than
biblical scholars recognized and that human culture had evolved over time
- Crude stone tools discovered in England and continental Europe, along with bones of
long extinct mammals "prove the existence of very ancient man" (Jacques Boucher
Crevecoeur de Perthes)
Nabonidus - Answers -- Most historians list him, the last king of the neo-Babylonian
Empire as the "first archaeologist"
- he rebuilt temples of ancient Babylon and searched the foundations for inscriptions of
earlier kings
- "he looked to the physical residues of antiquity - things - to answer questions about the
past."
Francesco Petrarch - Answers -- During the Renaissance he proposed that the remote
past was an ideal of perfection and he looked to antiquity for moral philosophy
- the "father of humanism"
- he and his contemporaries began to collect ancient texts and to make systematic
observations on archaeological monuments
Boucher de Perthes - Answers -- Challenged the understanding that the age of the
earth was no more than about 6000 years
- found ancient axe heads in the gravel of the Somme river and the bones of long-
extinct mammals and realized that there was a very ancient man
James Ussher - Answers -- Irish prelate who deduced from the Bible that Creation
occurred in the year 4004 BC (1581-1656)
- his reasoning was so convincing that people thought Boucher de Perthes was
mistaken, some suggested that the tools were really meteorites and others said they
were produced by lightning, elves or fairies
