Titolo: [Stonehenge Egiziana]: un paio di link

Salve,
voglio segnalarvi un paio di link.
1__ In primo luogo la pagina ufficiale del Prof. Alfred Wendorf
    che sta conducendo dal 1994 una campagna di scavi a Nabta
    Playa luogo del presunto ritrovamento di una Stonehenge
    egiziana:

    Nel sito citato troverete delle foto di Nabta Playa.
    Chi vuole un anticipo puo' leggere quanto segue:
" Late Neolithic Research  in the Egyptian Sahara
  Investigations in the Late Neolithic in the Eastern Sahara desert
  (ca. 6500-5500 B.P.) were initiated in 1994.
  Late Neolithic sites are ubiquitous in the Eastern Sahara.
  Dense scatters of deflated hearths and lithic artifacts exist
  within every major playa basin, and commonly occur on the
  sandsheets and plateaus.
  A large, internally-drained deflational basin known as Nabta
  Playa, located about 100 km west of Abu Simbel, was selected
  for further investigation.
  The Nabta Basin is exceptionally rich in prehistoric remains of
  early Holocene age, and several relatively intact Late Neolithic
  sites occur imbedded in the most recent suite of playa sediments.
  A large megalithic alignment, a "calender circle," and two small
  stone-covered tumuli were also noted near the largest Neolithic
  site in the area.  Four of these imbedded living sites, the two
  small tumuli, and part of the stone circle were excavated in
  January and February, 1994.
  The goals of this field season were:
  1. to acquire sufficient data from the Late Neolithic
     cultural inventory (house forms, lithic artifacts, food
     preferences, etc.) to permit a detailed comparison with
     the preceding Middle Neolithic.
  2, to follow the cultural response at the onset of aridity
     that apparently led to the end of the Late Neolithic.
  3. to date the beginning and end of the Late Neolithic
     in this area.
  4. to refine the local Holocene sedimentary sequence and
     tie the excavated sites into that sequence.
  5. to record all Late Neolithic sites in the Nabta area and,
     when possible, to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental settings
     in which the human occupations occurred.  "
     (tratto dal sito del Prof. Alfred Wendorf).
    Il resto lo trovate sul sito.
2__ Il secondo link che vi segnalo fa riferimento ad un articolo
    pubblicato su Antiquity di dicembre 1997 a cura di Wasylikowa
    e altri, dal titolo: "Exploitation of wild plants by the early
    Neolithic hunter-gatherers of the Western Desert, Egypt: Nabta
    Playa as a case-study".

    Non e' proprio la stessa cosa, ma potrebbe interessare.
Ciao.
