“Purity” of Archaeological Sites? Re-creations + Re-constructions:

Sir Arthur Evans (1851-1941), the curator of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, was a controversial figure in archaeology. Following in the footsteps of Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890), he studied Greek myths as literature based on fact. By doing so, he discovered the Minoan palace of King Minos, which had previously been thought to be only a fable. Excavations took place over many years in the early 1900s. Not only did he use texts thought to be fictional accounts as scientific sources, but he also re-created the site as he believed it to look. This involved incorporating foreign materials (reinforced cement, modern paint, etc) into the archaeological site, and destroyed some of the original site in order to do so. This means no one else could re-excavate here, and everyone would see and be influenced by his interpretation of the site, not allowing for the flexibility of multiple interpretations due to advances or developments in knowledge, techniques, equipment, etc over time. For many scientists, Knossos is now a travesty of archaeology. For the average person, it is a way of understanding how an ancient archaeological site may have looked. What do you think? Is re-creating a site based on one person’s understanding or interpretation worth the destruction of some of that site? If one is to re-create a site, should one be limited to materials that would have been used originally? Can you think of any additional issues, whether positive or negative, about this type of activity?

Prior to 1800 in England, the typical moth of the species Biston betularia(peppered moth) had a light pattern. Dark colored moths were rare. By the late 19th century, the light-colored moths were rare, and the moths with dark patterns were abundant.

The cause of this change was hypothesized to be selective predation by birds (JW Tutt, 1896). During the industrial revolution, soot and other wastes from industrial processes killed tree lichens and darkened tree trunks. Thus, prior to the pollution of the industrial revolution, dark moths stood out on light-colored trees and were vulnerable to predators. With the rise of pollution, however, the coloring of moths vulnerable to predators changed to light.

In the late 1900s, England cleaned up its air, and pollution decreased. The bark of trees went from dark to light.

Which of the following outcomes to the populations of peppered moth would you expect given this environmental change?
