The Daily CoUegian • December 6,1991
Archaeology: Lecturer discusses
uncovering of Herod's Kingdom
Continued from page 1
harbor.
"It has really cast new light on
some of the basic construction
techniques," Mclnemey said.
The site remained occupied for
hundreds of years after Herod died
and Rome declined.
Herod established palaces and
fortresses throughout the Eastern
Mediterranean.
"Herod was an astonishing
man," Mclnemey said. "During the
40 years (he ruled), he built like a
madman."
Artifacts from Ceserea spanned
all time periods.
Those found included oil
lamps, roman mosaics, perfume
bottles, small statues and busts of
roman figures.
"If s an area that has a very rich
history," he said.
In addition to his work at King
Herod's harbor, Mclnemey helped
to excavate a sunken Roman ship.
"We know very little about the
construction of ancient boats. Any
boat that we can excavate is valu¬
able," he said.
Techniques used in underwa¬
ter archaeology compared to land
archaeology were also discussed.
"In archaeology, you destroy
what you dig. Thaf s the the worst
side of working on land. You have
to record things very carefully.
Once ifs gone, ifs gone forever."
According to Mclnemey, the
buoyant nature of water is easier
on the body.
Vacuum hoses are used to suck
up materials quickly instead of
sifting through it with handpicks.
But working undorwaterdoes have
its downside.
"In underwater archaeology
unfortunately, material that you
are sifting out will always come
back in again. You excavate liter¬
ally for one day and the next day it
is covered again."
At the moment the underwa¬
ter archaeology in Cesena is near
an end but future researchers could
excavate land sites.
Because of recent political
events in Isreal and the Eastern
Mediterranean area, concerns over
whether further research could
continue were expressed.
Mclnemey said,. "There is a
great willingnesson the part of the
Isreali government I think that in
the future there will be input from
Canadian and American universi¬
ties."
Besides working on the Cesarea
project Mclnemey has excavated
at other locations including sites
on the island Crete, Tel Dor in
Isreal and Corinth in Greece.
He is currently working on his
dissertation for U.C. Berkeley
which will discuss political devel¬
opments inGentral Greece during
the Archaic and Classical periods.
Morality is the best of all
devices for leading;
mankind by the nose.
—Nietzesche
