Archaeology could extend knowledge of the history of religion
On The Science Show with Robyn Williams
... But in tracing the history of the major religions, there are gaps. As author Robin Derricourt explains, answers may lie around and beneath major religious sites such as the Dome of the Rock and Temple Mount in Jerusalem and Mecca in Saudi Arabia where archaeological digs are not permitted. He questions why some religions succeeded where others failed and considers what clues to the past might lie buried beneath major religious sites.

Auckland Museum is the only collecting institution to have a curator Archaeology permanently on staff and, significantly, the only institution to curate archaeological assemblages containing not only formal artefacts but faunal bone and shell samples, stone flakes and botanical material from excavated sites in the Greater Auckland, Northland and Coromandel Peninsula regions.
This summer student will be working alongside the curator and associate curator Archaeology to process legacy collections of faunal bone material from excavated archaeological sites. The archaeology collection is in high demand from academic researchers, students and this project will help to increase the accessibility of the archaeological faunal collections by updating existing records and creating new records on our collection management system.
