An interesting piece appeared yesterday in the CS Monitor on the one- state (secular) solution to the Palestine-Israel issue. http://tinyurl.com/5u8u4n (for...
I think it is misleading to formulate the issue as there being people who prefer a two state solution and others who prefer a one state solution. Of course, if...
I don't know how many List members this weekend ran across this story about a supposedly "uncontacted indigenous tribe" in the Amazon -- released just as...
This denouement on the topic of "uncontacted indigenous peoples" really marks the nadir of contemporary mass communications (e.g., media). I was laughing my...

Dear List, It is with a deep feeling of loss that Michael and I heard today of the death of a close friend and regular poster on the List, the economist Sudha...
Ditto. If I may, I would like to quote a very beautiful and touching poem by Goethe as a homage to her. Ueber allen Gipfeln Ist Ruh. In allen Wipfeln Spürest...
Only last Saturday I mentioned her name and quoted from her "Chains of Investment". I have always had the feeling of being invested in - by her thought ... ...
Dear List, Thanks to everyone for all the messages about Sudha Shenoy's death being sent on- and off-List. There are so many that we can't really post any...

[Mod. note. No formal obituaries have yet appeared. We'll post them when they do. - Steve.] Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. We had a great dinner together when...
Dear List, As noted in posts from the last few years, recent studies of the populating of Oceania have often looked not only at human DNA but at those of...
Irene Good of the Peabody Museum at Harvard passes on this notice of a major conference on ritual at the University of Heidelberg (late September): "Ritual...
Maybe members on the List on museum staffs can give insight into this NY Times story from this morning? We've certainly discussed many of the recent scandals...
In the last post I forgot to include nine other panels, including one major one on State and Ritual in India. Here again is the link to the panels, abstracts,...
Sure, rats are a good indicator in this case. However, not everywhere. Rats have been introduced into Europe only comparatively late: They came from ... India....
[Mod. note. For the online Atlas, go here: http://www.wals.info/ - SF.] ... I'm a bit puzzled too - French, Walloon and Picard are absent from Belgium; neither...
What about Bandicota bengalensis, a giant rat of southern Asia, not related to the marsupial bandicoots. They are the worst pests in south Asia for raiding...
As far as I know Bandicota bengalensis has not acclimated to Europe. The niche that they would occupy is filled by the Brown or Norway rat (rattus norvegicus)...

Heleanor, I wouldn't mention Marc Aurel Stein in the same sentence with Herr Bartus. I've worked with Stein's archives in the India Office Library in London &...
No formal obituaries have been published yet on Sudha Shenoy, but there is a lot of discussion in the economic blogs. The following long entry in the...
Actually Trudy I tend to agree. I have a deep fondness for Marc Aurel Stein, and his attitude to his non-western assistants and to local communities was...
I totally agree with Heleanor. Years ago I was discussing Kushan finds with the senior staff of the Srinigar Museum in Kashmir when the Deputy Director said...
[Mod. note. We restructured the message and replaced the long plain text version of the speech with a link to it to save space. - SF.] Dear List: Here is the...
Dear List, The US papers today are filled with modest stories, most buried deep in inside pages, on the release of a massive new Senate Intelligence Report on...
