NOW YOU SAY: I am not misquoting the archaeologist, as far as the potential illegal and unethical nature of trading and owning artifacts composed of Libyan, which is what was being discussed. What the archaeologist stated in a post made by a professional archaeologist to the "Archaeology List". The full post can found at: http://listserv.tamu.edu/cgi/wa?A2=ind0406&L=arch-l&F=&S=&P=4205 If anyone is putting completely false words into s person's mouth, it is Mr. Dean. When I talked about flakes below, I ***wasn't** talking about natural pieces of Libyan Desert Glass when I wrote: >Despite what you have stated, he and >other professional archaeologists have >made it very clear, contrary to you >have claimed, me that even picking >an LDG flake up off the shifting sandy >desert floor and transporting it / >exporting it without permission >from either Egypt or Libya is unethical >and illegal behavior. It doesn't matter >if this Egyptian or Libyan" When I was using the term "flake" I was using the term in its archaeological definition. In this definition, a flake is a man-made artifact. In that case, I was talking about artifacts, not natural pieces of LDG. I apologize if that terminology wasn't clear. However, if had bothered to look at the context of the discussion, instead of flying off the handle, you would have seen that I consistently referred to **artifacts** composed of Libyan Desert Glass in the discussion as being potential illegal to trade in. Dean wrote: >SO NOW YOU 100% CONLICT WITH WHAT YOU >SAID TWO DAYSAGO. MAYBE YOU HAVE JUST >NOW CHANGED YOUR MIND? I didn't change my mind, it is just that their some confusion of the definition of "flake"/ If Dean would bother to read the various posts it is quite clear that only artifacts composed of Libyan Desert Glass is being discussed. Only time will tell whether people need to be careful about trading in artifacts composed of Libyan Desert Glass. Yours, Keith Louisiana Received on Sat 12 Jun 2004 10:17:55 AM PDT |
