Talk:2009 in archaeology

60 million year old fossils are not studied by archaeologists
I removed the following text:


 * In 2009, the fossils of 28 individual T. cerrejonensis (Titanoboas) were announced to have been found in the coal mines of Cerrejón, La Guajira, Colombia.

Archaeologists deal with humans, their remains, their material culture, and their natural environment. Archaeologists do not deal with fossils that precede this. Dinosaurs etc. are excavated and studied by paleontologists. Stefan Kruithof (talk) 16:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

King Tut statue discovery
King Tut’s statue found, by Zee Entertainment Enterprises

A small statue of Tutanchamon found in Northern Iraq seems relevant enough for inclusion (it will probably become a prime museum piece). However, the team that discovered it seems ideologically driven (trying to underscore the links between ancient Egypt and Mitanni, thereby strengthening the Kurdish claim of a nation of their own in that region). Also, I'm not sure how reliable this news report is. I'll leave the discovery on this talk page for now, and if other news agencies start reporting on it (and hopefully shed light on the importance of the discovery) it may be included in the main article.
