The first Black archaeologist : a life of John Wesley Gilbert / by Lee, John W. I.(John Wolte Infong),1971-author.;

It was Monday, the first of May, 1871, and he had come with his mother to open an account at the Augusta, Georgia branch of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. The clerk opened his account register and took down the new customer's information. Age: 7. Residence: corner Center and Telfair Streets-- just two blocks from the bank office on Broad Street. Occupation: Go to school to Miss Chesnut. Father: Tom Dasher. Mother: Sarah Dasher. Uncles: Gabriel, Simon, Jim, William, John, in that order. Then, as he usually did with young or illiterate patrons, the clerk wrote the boy's name on the signature line, added the notation "his mark," and offered the page for an X. The boy, however, insisted on signing for himself. He ran out of space on his first try but succeeded on his second. The register (Figure 1.1) still survives today in the National Archives in Washington, DC, bearing a shaky but legible signature: Wesley Gilbert"--This is a biography of John Wesley Gilbert, a man famous as 'the first black archaeologist.' The text uses previously unstudied sources to reveal the triumphs and challenges of an overlooked pioneer in American archaeology.

The BP exhibition : sunken cities : Egypt's lost worlds / by Goddio, Franck,editor.(CARDINAL)345400; Masson-Berghoff, Aurélia,editor.(CARDINAL)345399; British Museum,host institution.(CARDINAL)146015;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-257) and index.Beneath the waters of Abukir Bay, at the edge of the Nile Delta, lie the submerged remains of the ancient Egyptian cities Canopus and Thonis-Heracleion, which sank over 1,000 years ago but were dramatically rediscovered in the 20th century and brought to the surface by marine archaeologists in the 1990s. These pioneering underwater excavations continue today, and have yielded a wealth of ancient artefacts, to be exhibited in Britain for the first time in 2016. Through these spectacular finds, this book tells the story of how two iconic ancient civilizations, Egypt and Greece, interacted in the late first millennium bc. From the foundation of Naukratis and Thonis-Heracleion as trading posts to the conquest of Alexander the Great, through the ensuing centuries of Ptolemaic rule to the ultimate dominance of the Roman Empire on the world stage, Greeks and Egyptians lived alongside one another in these lively cities, sharing their politics, religious ideas, languages, scripts and customs. Greek kings adopted the regalia of the pharaoh; ordinary Greek citizens worshipped in Hellenic sanctuaries next to Egyptian temples; and their ancient gods and mythologies became ever more closely intertwined. This book showcases a spectacular collection of artefacts, coupled with a retelling of the history by world-renowned experts in the subject (including the sites' long-term excavator), bringing the reader face-to-face with this vibrant ancient society. Accompanies the most sensational exhibition of ancient Egyptian and Greek discoveries to be held in the UK for decades, opening at the British Museum.
