From Wikipedia:

Classical antiquity (also the classical era or classical period) is a broad term for a long period of cultural history centered on the Mediterranean Sea, comprising the interlocking civilizations of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.

It is conventionally taken to begin with the earliest-recorded Greek poetry of Homer (8th–7th century BC), and continues through the rise of Christianity and the decline of the Roman Empire (5th century). It ends with the dissolution of classical culture at the close of Late Antiquity (AD 300-600), blending into the Early Middle Ages (AD 500-1000).

Such a wide sampling of history and territory covers many disparate cultures and periods. "Classical antiquity" typically refers to an idealized vision of later people of what was, in Edgar Allan Poe's words, "the glory that was Greece, the grandeur that was Rome!"

Questions Related to artifacts from

Provided By Y! Answers

What are some artifacts from the american revolution?
Question:
I'm doing a report on artifacts from the american revolution. I need 10 artifacts that i can make myself. Ex: a letter from washington that i printed off the internet.


Answer:
1. A quill pen from a feather 2. A tri-corn hat. You can take any flat brimmed hat from the dollar store, turn up 3 corners. 3. Go online to "James Townsend"- you'll get a catalog of Rev War items, some of which you may be able to make. You may be able to cut and paste a button or coin that you can cut out of paper. 4. Another company is "C & D Jarnagin CO." 5.. "Track of the Wolf" is a company that has Rev War period money.Again, if you can cut and paste... 6. Thomas Paine's "American crisis" is an important document that you can print out. It was a critical influence with regard to the Battle of Trenton: Most of the Continental Army's enlistments were due to expire on December 31st. Morale was at its lowest. Washington would have no army. It was a couple of days before Christmas, 1776. Washington’s army had lost more than half of its men to illness, desertion and enlistment expirations. Thomas Paine, who was serving as a volunteer aide wrote "American Crisis" that was read to the soldiers on Washington's orders. One by one, most stepped forward, stayed and committed to cross the icy Delaware on Christmas; the resulting victory at Trenton raised morale greatly;new enlistments resulted. Trenton is considered a turning point of the Rev War for those reasons so, "American Crisis" is an important artifact. For a copy,see: http://www.ushistory.org/paine/crisis/c-01.htm 7.Rags. Rags were tied to the shoe-less soldiers feet. You could see the track of blood in the snow on the march to Trenton, 9 miles through the snowstorm. While this isn't an unusual item per se, it tells about the war and the incredible sacrifices made by the common person, doing uncommon things. The idea is to learn about history of the time, right? 8.A Pickering Tool. (Critical tool to have.) This has two ends; one to use as a screwdriver to undo the large screws to clean the lock of the musket. The other end was used to clean the tiny hole through which the spark passed from the pan of the musket, into the barrel to fire. If the hole ("touch hole") was clogged with powder, your musket would not fire. See this site for a picture: http://www.smilingfoxforgellc.com/guns5.asp Again, made out of cardboard if fine I'm sure. The tool was designed by Timothy Pickering; For info on Pickering's Rev War service, see: http://virtualology.com/revolutionarywarhall/TIMOTHYPICKERI NG.COM/ This would make a good prop because no one has heard of the pickering tool; it was an important tool to every soldier. You now have some background on both the tool and the man who invented it. 9. Rev War uniform: See: http://www.georgeglazer.com/archives/prints/military/erwin.html You can do a print out. This gives great related info as well. Not all uniforms were the same; Some of the typical blue coats had buff facings. It all depended on from what regiment you were. Some coats were green. They were of wool, because that was the most common fabric at the time. Cotton was still expensive. At the Battle of Monmouth, more troops on both sides died of heatstroke than of wounds. A GREAT site for this is: http://www.britishbattles.com/battle-monmouth.htm It also provides you with a map, which would be your artifact #10. FYI..There really was a "Molly Pitcher", and she was at the Battle of Monmouth. Her real name is Mary Ludwig Hayes. She brought water to the heat-fallen soldiers in the field. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was the longest battle of the war. When her husband was hit, she took over his cannon. A British cannonball tore right through her skirts but she kept on going. Some pople think she is only folklore, but a soldier who was there, Joseph Plumb Martin, gives an account of her in his diary, as well as of her skirt incident. (Women wore several skirts at once, all called "petticoats".)

Do actual royal artifacts from the Middle Ages still exist?
Question:
I'm curious about if there are any surviving artifacts from the Middle Ages, more specifically England if possible. I'm somewhat fascinated by medieval history and am curious what has survived from the period. It seems somewhat logical to me being that the monarchy of England still survives today as the United Kingdom that they would have historical artifacts from the beginning of their Empire? Items such as crowns, jewels, clothes wore by the monarchs, etc? I would love to hear from someone with greater knowledge of the subject? The only thing I could really find was the Magna Carta document. . . Many thanks in advance. . .


Answer:
Actually, yes. Many artifacts from that time still exist in museums all over the world. What years are you specifically talking about?

Do you think that bringing up artifacts from the Titanic amounts to grave robbing?
Question:
I want to know what you think about Titanic Inc. bringing up artifacts from the Titanic. Is it grave robbing or is it science? I will post a follow-up question when I get a few answers. O.K. Here is the follow up question. It is mainly poised at those who akin it to grave robbing. "If your view is that bringing up artifacts from the Titanic is "grave robbing" then would that not also hold true for The World Trade Centers?" By the way "LodiTX" contrary to your "assumption" I am in favor of bringing up articles from the Titanic.


Answer:
I would say that it depends on what happens to the artifacts when they are removed. If they are making their way into private collections, as momentos or trinkets, then yes, it would be disrespectful to have a few select people benefit from the loss of others. However, if said artifacts are going to be used to further public knowledge on the tragic events that surrounded the sinking of the Titanic, then no, I wouldn't consider it grave robbing since in the interest of furthering public education on the sinking are taken into consideration.

Question:
In artifacts from as early as the Stone Age, mathematics and art can be seen to have fused in the geometric patterns decorate pottery, weaving, and carpentry.


Answer:
The problem is with the word decorate. I think it would be better like this. In artifacts from as early as the Stone Age, mathematics and art can be seen to have fused in the geometric patterns decorating pottery, weaving, and carpentry.

What happens to artifacts recovered from an archaeological excavation?
Question:
Where do artifacts go after they've been excavated? Where are they kept during analysis? Do they go someplace else after analysis is complete, or after the site report is published? Specifically, I'm interested in the disposition of artifacts excavated with permission from private property owners in the U.S. and Canada. As a matter of standard archaeological practice, is the private property owner asked to relinquish all ownership claims to objects found before an excavation begins? How are the property and access rights negotiated, if at all?


Answer:
The only time a private property owner would be required to relinquish items found in a dig would be in the case of NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), which is usually in the context of a burial. When I excavate materials, they go into labeled bags, which are then sent to a lab and analyzed. Once the analysis is complete, the local tribes associated with those artifacts are contacted and they decide (if they were in relation to a burial), otherwise the artifacts go into a museum, or in the case of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) work, they go into storage. The site report is published after the fact. If there are items found on your own private property, you may keep them, although ethically this is kind of a questionable thing- especially to me as an archaeologist.

Searching for artifacts from the Civil War?
Question:
I'm a history buff and I would really like to find artifacts from the Civil War to start my own collection. How do I start doing that? I live in an area that was a huge part of the Civil War, so I have the location.


Answer:
Buy yourself a good quality metal detector. White is a good brand. Then learn about the topography and camp sites and battle fields. Try to search in areas no one else searches. Example: Everyone knows about the Battle of Chickamauga. While you can't detect in a National Military Park unless you see Federal Prison as a glamorous vacation, you CAN search private property outside the park boundaries provided you first get the property owners permission. However, fewer know about the battles of Trion Factory, and Alpine ln North Georgia so you would stand a better chance of finding something there. Search the "Official Records of The Union and Confederate Armies" at your local library. Find reports of actions and camps in your area and see what you can turn up. Learn about the events surrounding the item being lost and the men who lost it, then share pictures and stories of what you find with others. Good luck and let us know what you find. edit: One of the other posters brought up a very good point. Many War Between the States battle sites are also the burial sites of some of the soldiers who died there. Treat it like hallowed ground and be respectful of the people who died there as many may still be resting there. If you do find unmarked burial sites then you should contact either a local camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans or the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and let them know where it is. They'll be able to mark them and protect the burial sites. Again, good luck and have fun!
