+lumbricus Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi, I have a new idea. Worldwide many precious archaeological objects were discovered in the past. Every object was found on a specific location. Often there are some signs or markers at this locations. The thing you have to do is, find the site of the find and waymark it. Some examples to make it clearer: 1. Venus von Willendorf 48° 19.417' 15° 24.248' Info Object Pictures of the location 2. Himmelsscheibe von Nebra 51° 17.006' 11° 31.208' Info Object Location 3. Phallus von Schelklingen 48° 22.789' 9° 45.287' Info Object Location 4. Löwenmensch 48° 32.949' 10° 10.319' Info Object Location Great or not so great? -lumbricus Quote Link to comment
+Tharandter Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hmm, sounds good! I know such a place in Siegsdorf where the primeval elephant was found. I would support it! Quote Link to comment
+Tharandter Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I have created a group for it. Waymarks in this category could be sites like: - Localities of former settlements - Sites of Excavation of any kind (tools, jugs, arms, astronomical equipment) - Famous archaeological sites like the Pyramids, Stone-Henge... - Cave paintings of the Stone Age and so on... I'd like to collect any traces of human being, what's you opinion? Edited December 10, 2012 by Tharandter Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I like the idea. There is one tricky part: Several existing categories already cover parts of this field. What do you want to do with those? Excluding them seems to be the most sensible thing, but category descriptions with exclusion lists are not really my favorites. Do you have a better solution? Some of the categories: Ancient Roman Civilisation In Search of the Celts Megalithic Monuments Ancient Traces and Roads New World Ancient Evidence Pictographs I guess there are some more...

+DieCacherGirls Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hello, I like the idea, too, especially because the initial posting from lumbricus contained only objects which would have been difficult to post in existing categories. Main reason is that the location of finding the object is not identical with the location of preserving the object. That would make the big difference to e.g. In Search of the Celts or Megalithic Monuments (we visited and waymarked there a bit, so I assume that there are only objects you can visit at the coordinates). The new category distinguishes here. Warm regards, DasCacherGirl2 Quote Link to comment
