SUMMARY OF ADDRESS

The archaeologist has the same
-kind of sensation as the traveller
in an airplane. To the air- pas-
senger all the normal sensations
of distance are changed and the
broad’ Atlantic may turn into a
nap between breakfast and sup-
per. In a similar way the archae-
ologist suffers a distortion of the
sense of time.

“As he looks down into his ex+
cavation he sees layers of brown,

_ red, black earth with here and

there a piece of pottery or a bit
of bone jutting out.. He has to
force himself to remember that
he is looking at the record of 4000

that now remains of the hopes
dreams and efforts of a hundred
generations of human beings.

-American School of Oriental Re-
search Expedition at the biblical

dan. The site is now occupied by
ithe Arab village of Balata, with
its fig orchards and its vegetable
gardens and ifs ancjent splendor
is gone. But in its hey-day it was
the third most important city in
Palestine.
ABRAHAM AND JACOB ~
“Here Abraham first came
when he entered the land. Here
Jacob pitched his tents and dig-
ged his well. Here the tribes of
Israel met in their. tribal con-

the Samaritans gave to it.
Naval of the Universe’.

“In perparation for the ex-
expendition to Shechem I spent a
year of study at the American
School of Oriental Research in
Jerusalem, in the course of which |
we visited many of the centers
of culture in Lebanon, Jordon,
Syria, and Southern Turkey.
During this time I shared in the
work of the British School of
Archaeology at Jericho, where
under the direction of Dr. Kath-
leen Kenyon a British expedition’
is writing a new chapter in the
ancient history of the human
race. They have discovered a
city with massive walls’ and
guard towers which existed there
before the invention of pottery,
when the only human implements
were of stone bone, and wood and
the use of metals was altogether
unknown. But all this was only
preparatory. to the excavations
at Shechem.

are most, frequently asked about
our work.

Why do you dig?

“The answer to this question
is simple. To recover history. If
you recall your history classes |
you will remember how little we
really have surviving out of the
past of written books. Most of the
writing that was done in ancient
times has long ago perished. And
beritingw when C., B. 300rfen 0
béfore 3000 B.C., ‘when writing
was invented, there are, of
course, no documents at all. B
men did’ leave a record of their
past. It is now buried’ under
ground in the remains of the
cities which they inhabited, and
in the cemetaries, buildings and
refuse heaps of their towns.

“Tt is not everything but it is
at least something. And out of
the pottery, walls, beads, rings,
and household objects that re-
main, it is astonishing how much
of the culture and life-the day-to-
day existence of. the ordinary
person of the ancient world-can
‘be reconstructed. The archaeolo-
gist is a Peeping Tom prying into
- |history and, residing it backwards
from the present to the remote
past in the soil of the city where
he digs.

‘How do you know where to
dig? 9

blem here. Our ancestors did not
dig deep foundations for their
houses, and they built out of very
perishable mud bricks. When a
house became old and useless, it
was knocked down and leveled off
and a mew building put on top of
it. The floors, foundations, and
household. objects of the — first
building were thus buried under
the mew’ house. Sometimes a

whole sections of a city. At other
times earthquake, or fire or the
destructive inroads of an invader
would wipe.out a. town and the
whole site would have to be lev-
élled off and rebuilt.

Thus in course of time. the
level of the city rose above the
surrounding plain. Wherever a
| flat-topped mound is seen, under
‘| it lies the remains of an ancient
town, with layer on layer of suc-
cessive civilizations concealed, in

lit, waiting for the spade of the

archaeologist to bring them to
light.
“How do you dig?

“The gathering of the staff is
one of the most important ele-
ments in the expendition. There
ese be a surveyor and architect
to draw the accurate plans of the
excavation and to locate on those
plans everything of significance
that is unearthed. A photographer
must be to record in movie,
color, and black and white the
progress of the digging and the
finds that are made. There has
to be a recording staff continu-
ally at work in the dig building
keeping records of the discoveries,
drawing and describin,g cleaning
the delicate pieces of bronze and
iron and searching the books on
archaeology for parallels to
them.

“dirt men’ directing the Arab

is not accurately recorded in a
field notebook it can never be
proved. Once it is dug its posi-
tion and place of discovery are

The actual work is done by
Arab workmen from the village
of Balatah. They work in teams.
“The pickmen loosen the earth
carefully. The hoemen scrape it
into baskets, and the basket boys
(happy-go-lucky and irrespon-
sible as boys everywhere) carry
it away to the dumps nearby.

and recorded. Meanwhile the sur-

is given over to rest until the
heat is somewhat less. Then the
sorting of finds goes on until
evening when we are early to
bed, because we have to be early

SALVAGING THE PAST

‘What do you find?

“Tt is a mixed collection and
not much to look at. Skeletons,
the remains of walls, the founda-
tions of buildings, the great posts
and stone.work of-a city gate,
little things like rings and beads,
and most of all piles of broken
pottery. Out of these materials
the history of the city is grad-
ually built up. We can trace it
from the time when the Greeks
occupied Palestine, back through
the periods when the Israelites
lived in the land. and back again
to the ages-before that.

“We can see where an Egypt-
rian army destroyed the town 1750
years before Christ, and where
a little group of Turkish soldiers
were buried during the First
World War: We see the house in
which a rich merchant of — the
Greek period lived, and ‘the spot
where a gallant defender of the
city fell with an arrow in. his ribs.
When it is all over we know. in
detail what happened down the
ages at that one small city, and
the life of the biblical period
takes on new color and vividness
for us. :

EOKA Calls
For Truce
On Cyprus

NICOSIA, Cyprus. (Reuters) —
The chief of the EOKA under;
ground Monday night declared’ a
truce in the-campaign of violence
against Turks and Britons.

Col. George Grivas ordered his
men to cease ‘‘all operations” im-
mediately. Only three weeks ago
he chad ordered eye-for-an-eye
vengeance against British and
Turks in retailiation for any kil-
lings of Greek Cypriots.

Grivas’ call for a truce carried
the warning that operations would
be resumed ‘‘if provocation by the
British and the Turks continues
after our truce.”

APPEALS MADE

The truce followed appeals by
the premiers of Greece, Turkey
and Britain for an end to the
bicodbath’ on the island. More
than 1,000 persons have been
killed there in three years, 150 of
them in the last two months.

Four persons, two Greeks and
two Turkish Cypriots, were killed
Monday before Grivas issued ‘tis
truce order.

Grivas is a 60-year-old former
Greek army officer and wartime
resistance leader. .

The truce was the second called
iby EOKA. The first came in
March, 1957. It lasted until this
pring when the wave of killings
and sabotage of property re-
sumed.

The feud between Greek- and
Turkish-speaking residents of the
British Mediterranean island col-
ony arises from a’ deadlock he-
tween the two groups over the is-
land’s political future.

DEMAND UNION _.

The 400,000 Greek Cypriots de-
mand union with Greece. But the
100,000 Turks oppose this: and
seek the island’s partition into
Greek - and Turkish - speaking
areas.

British troops have tried to
keep order amid Greek and Turk- | 72
ish demands for an end to British
rule. Among the dead are 36 Brit-
ish servicemen.

Because of the icillings wives
and children of British service-
men will not be allowed ‘to join
their husbands and fathers. But
Monday’s order said dependants
already there would not be evac-
uated.

The request, he told reporters,

CABINET DECISION

He recognized that U.S. law
now prevents the United States
from sharing its atomic weapons
and secrets. with any*® country.
other than Britain, and said that
for that reason any: decision on
atomic arms for RCAF fighters,
which now use only conventional
weapons, would have to come at
cabinet level.

Pearkes made these other
points:

1. There should be eloser co-
ordination on foreign policy to
avoid ithe possibility. of one coun-
try ‘taking action, without prior
consultation, which would produce

an enemy attack on the North
American continent.

2. The DEW line, the big radar

ating “very effectively’ but the
Pinetree line, the radar fence
based along the Canada-U.S. bor-
der, must be improved to permit
faster interception of eunidentified
aircraft,

3. He hopes the United States
will show interest ,in purchasing
production models of the CF-105,
