Speakers: Majid Labbaf Khaneiki and Louise Rayne. Majid Khaneiki is a human geographer who specializes in traditional irrigation and hydro-social cycles in rural communities. He has conducted or cooperated with more than 20 research projects on water issues in Oman, Iran, Iraq, India and Azerbaijan. He is the author of 13 books about traditional water management, water history, qanat system, and Indigenous water knowledge. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Nizwa in Oman, where he works in the field of socio-hydrology and conducts a research project on the interplay between water systems and social structures Oman's local communities. Louise Rayne is Newcastle University Academic Track Fellow in School of History Classics and Archaeology. She has a background in both Archaeology and Geography (joint PhD), especially remote sensing. Originally working in the Middle East on water management archaeology of Syria and Iraq, she is now also working in North Africa on remote sensing of land-use change, especially traditional water management and desertification.

Pets will soon be allowed into more than 120 archaeological sites across Greece, the country's Culture Ministry announced, although not in the Acropolis or some of the other top tourist draws. The move, unanimously approved by the country's powerful Central Archaeological Council, will relax current rules which only allow guide dogs for disabled visitors into archaeological sites. The ministry did not specify when the new regulations would be implemented. The decision is “a first, but important, step toward harmonizing the framework of accessibility to monuments and archaeological sites with the standards of other European countries, where entry rules for pets already apply,” Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said in a ministry press release. The council approved the entry of pets provided they are kept on a leash no more than one meter (3 feet) long, or carried by their owners in a pouch or a pet carrying case. Owners will also need to show their pet's health certificate and carry the necessary accessories to pick up their animal's droppings in order to be allowed entry, the ministry said. Larger dogs will have to be muzzled. But some of the most popular archaeological sites, such as the Acropolis of Athens, Knossos in Crete, Ancient Olympia or Delphi, which tend to get very crowded, will still remain pet-free, as will ancient theaters, temples, graves and monuments with mosaic floors. Cages will be installed at the entrances of more than 110 other archaeological sites, the ministry said, so owners can park their pets during their visit. Tourism is one of Greece's main industries, generating billions of euros in revenue each year. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

How do we send a warning a hundred millennia into the future? Poet Paul Farley considers how we might warn people three thousand generations from now about the radioactive waste we've left in geological disposal facilities deep underground. As he does so he explores the essence of communication and storytelling and the elements of our language, art and culture which are truly universal. In countries across the world, including the UK, USA, France and Finland, the hunt is on for underground sites which will survive shifting tectonic plates or passing ice ages and remain secure for tens of millennia - maybe a hundred thousand years - until the radioactive waste they contain is no longer a danger. And once it's buried, how do we leave a clear, unambiguous warning message - that this site is dangerous and should not be disturbed - for a society which may be utterly different from our own? Can we still use written language? Would pictures and symbols be more easily understood? Or could we construct a landscape of vast monuments to instil fear in anybody who saw them. Paul talks to writer Helen Gordon about her experience of visiting the Onkalo nuclear repository in Finland and the challenges of warning the future about what it contains. He hears from Jean-Noël Dumont, Manager of the Memory for Future Generations programme for the French nuclear agency Andra. For several years Andra has asked artists to devise a warning of the existence of a nuclear repository. Stéfane Perraud and Aram Kebabdjian responded with the idea of a Zone Bleue – a forest of genetically-modified blue trees which act as a memorial rather than a warning. In 1981 linguist Thomas Sebeok proposed the idea of a ‘nuclear priesthood'. The idea takes its inspiration from world faiths which have passed on their message for thousands of years. At an ancient Christian site in the shadow of Heysham nuclear power station Paul meets Robert Williams, Professor of Fine Art at the University of Cumbria who, with American artist Bryan McGovern Wilson, has brought to life the idea of a Nuclear Priest, imagining their vestments, their rituals and role. There's compelling evidence that oral traditions can carry memories of events not just for centuries but for thousands of years. Professor Patrick Nunn has been researching Indigenous Australian stories which appear to carry the folk memory of a time after the last ice age when sea levels were much lower – around ten thousand years. So could a story, a poem or a song be the answer? As the programme unfolds, Paul devises a poem to carry a warning to distant generations.

A member of Melbourne’s Turkish community, İsmail Metin, wrote a book about the 12,000-year-old religious centre Göbekli Tepe, located in Turkey. The site is believed to be the first building solely dedicated to the religion. Metin, in his book, explains the fascinating story of Göbeklitepe. - Melbourne’deki toplum bireyimiz İsmail Metin, Türkiye'de bulunan ve tarihin sıfır noktası olarak adlandırılan 12.000 yıllık Göbekli Tepe hakkında bir kitap yazdı. Metin, milattan önce 10 binli yıllarda inşa edildiği bilinen ve tarihteki en eski ibadet merkezi olan Göbeklitepe'yi anlattığı kitabını Hume belediyesinin Broadmeadows kütüphanesinde halka tanıtacak.

Simon Young, founder and CEO of Lithodomos VR, updates us on his company's exciting expansion into museums around the world, where you can put on VR goggles and plunge into what life was really like thousands of years ago. He explains how the Lithodomos Explore app gives access to the company's large library of historical landmarks exactly as they were, in VR or panoramic 360 mode. (As a gift to Beyond Infinity listeners, keep an ear out for the Lithodomos Explore app's complementary access code!)

Disaster preparedness takes many forms - depending on who you are and what you do. It's also important for archaeology sites. Creating relationships with major and local agencies and locating archaeology sites in jeopardy is paramount to preserving history.

Archaeologists from Texas Parks and Wildlife and Texas Historical Commission talk about sites you can visit in Texas along the road.

This story originally appeared on Atlas Obscura and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. On a choppy voyage to Antarctica in 1928, the crew of the ship that would eventually be rechristened as the Vamar bestowed upon their vessel an optimistic nickname: “Evermore Rolling.” It proved to be a bit of a misnomer. Far from slicing through cresting waves forever, the ship sank near Florida in 1942, 3.

The Four Corners is that area of the southwest where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico come together. It is rich in Pre-Columbian history and gorgeous western landscapes. Today Bill Naiman and I discuss a few of the icons of this area: Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, Mesa Verde and some lesser known locations. Canyon de Chelly in far northeastern Arizona is very near the small town of Chinle, AZ in the Navajo Nation. Nearby accommodations are limited to the town of Chinle and to the national monument campground. The Anasazi ruins can be viewed from the canyon rim, but to really see the canyon you need a Navajo guide. I recommend Beauty Way Jeep Tours owned and operated by Leander Staley. www.canyondechellybeautywayjeeptours.com 928-674-3772 Monument Valley lies within the Navajo Nation on the Arizona-Utah border. You can see part of Monument Valley by paying $20 per car and driving the 17-mile auto tour route.  If you want more than the typical tourist photos, you need a Navajo guide. I recommend John Holiday who can be reached at 435-444-9760. John is a very nice guy and a great photo tour guide.  He lives in Monument Valley and knows it well. He will get you to the right spots for sunrise and sunset on time and in the best spots. Accommodations in Monument Valley are limited consisting of Goulding’s Lodge and Campground and The View hotel. I’ve stayed in the Lodge and the campground.  The campground is quite nice.  The lodge is pretty basic.  If you want something fancier, check out The View hotel with its wonderful views of Mittens and a price to match. Mesa Verde is a national park located in southwest Colorado near the town of Dolores. There is a great visitors center at the park entrance just east of Dolores.  To see the actual ruins you need to drive into the park 21 miles which requires about an hour. Much of the park is above 7,000 feet and may be closed in winter. To see all parts of the park, you need to arrive after May 1st. Ranger led tours actually take you into the ruins, but again only after May 1st. Check the park website for actual dates and information about the tours which should be reserved well in advance.  www.nps.gov There are accommodations in the park, but once again they do not open until mid-April. See their website at www.visitmesaverde.com or call 800-449-2288. Other lodging is available in nearby Dolores or Cortez, CO.

The book, How to Sell to Libraries and Readers in the Digital Age, shows how to set up email systems for libraries from an online source and another for readers from emails gathered at book signing events. The number of libraries is a large one. It is a wonderful place to market books, but for the author new to this attempt, it can be daunting. Bonnye Matthews found a way to reach librarians who would forward her email to their acquisitions people. This book cannot guarantee a library will buy your books, but it will give you a solid path through the maze and with a huge effort, you can develop an email list that you can use for book after book you write. Bonnye Matthews is the author of the award winning Winds of Change novel series on the peopling of the Americas before the last ice age glaciation. Her current research focuses on Archaeological Sites in the Americas before the end of the last ice age glaciation.

Serra, Ken, and Jeb talk about the myths and misconceptions surrounding some of the most important archaeological sites around the world.

Dr al-Hamdani speaks about on-going work to create a nation-wide digital map of archaeological sites in Iraq: more than 17,000 sites have been mapped so far. Documenting and registering cultural heritage in places that have witnessed armed conflicts and wars are fundamental to safeguarding the heritage of humankind. Iraq is one of the countries in the Middle East with a heritage that is endangered by a combination of looting, armed conflict and terrorist operations. It was within this context that we developed a GIS (a digital map with an associated database) recording the location and date of all of the known archaeological sites. This was especially important since the current Iraqi Archaeological Atlas has not been updated since 1971, was published in a short run book form making it hard to find, and only records 7,000 sites, many fewer than the total number of sites in Iraq. I had the opportunity to develop an updated, digital version of the Iraqi Archaeological Atlas when I was working on my PhD. at Stony Brook University. This project was supported by grants provided to my advisor, Elizabeth Stone, by the Cultural Heritage Center at the State Department, and supported by John Russell. The sources and methods The backbone for the data from southern Iraq were the archaeological surveys carried out by Robert Adams and his colleagues which identified some 1200 new archaeological sites which had not been included in the original Iraqi Atlas. Elizabeth Stone provided me with digital versions of these data which made them easy to incorporate into the database. I was also able to add sites that I had surveyed in southern Iraq between 2003-2009. We also included the results of Tony Wilkinson’s survey in the plain of Sinjar-Ninawa province in northwest of Iraq. 127 maps of Iraqi archaeological atlas and 201 maps from the department of the Iraqi Military Survey Department were used to locate archaeological sites. The military maps were very useful since Iraqi army wanted to identify all of the high ground in the run up to the 2003 war. The Atlas was developed through the digitization and georeferencing of all of these sources. The GIS pointfile locates each site and includes data for each site, including coordinates, historical periods, and archaeological, ethnographic and geographic data. Corona and Digital Globe satellite imagery were used to identify the locations of the sites. The result As a result of this project, more than 17,000 archaeological sites were documented. Sites were divided based on provinces so that antiquities inspectors and archaeologists from each province can edit, modify, and add the results of new fieldwork. Permission to access the GIS shapefiles will be made available to institutions and individual researchers upon application to the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage. These data can be useful for anyone seeking to select sites to be excavated. In addition it can be used by the central government and local governorates in Iraq when they plan development projects in the countryside so they can avoid damage to archaeological sites as they develop the initial plans for such projects.

Dr al-Jaradat (Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Palestine) speaks of the Palestinian national inventory of cultural heritage sites, for which work began in 2002 and is still ongoing Since the creation of a Palestinian Department of National Register, Palestinian authorities and international partners have work to build a comprehensive database of cultural heritage sites in the West Bank. This database comprises both published and unpublished data, recorded on an ESRI ArcGIS geodatabase. The main purpose of this inventory is to protect the main archaeological sites from ongoing building activities.

Also, the amazing 5000 year-old structure on the Golan Heights that just might well be Israel's own Stonehenge... All this and more on today's radio show/podcast...

[Resources: Accordance 9] This podcast will show how to set up a custom workspace for any Study Bible. It will also review Zondervan's Archaeological Study Bible, a goldmine of information, a great introduction to how the fruits of archaeology can increase our understanding of the Bible. Designed with the conservative Christian in mind, this study Bible features 8000 study notes, 500 articles, 500 color photographs and 15 maps. Accordance makes it easy to explore all the features in this resource, especially when navigating among the articles in the five major categories: Archaeological Sites, Cultural and Historical Notes, Ancient Peoples and Lands, The Reliability of the Bible, and Ancient Texts and Artifacts.
