Re: [meteorite-list] Possible Ancient Meteorite
Hello Roman, This object will be the subject of debate between those on the List who answer your request. Why not advise your friend to cut out all the contention and, as he lives in Arizona, simply take it to the appropriate department of one of the two universities in the area and have a real expert examine it.

Re: [meteorite-list] Possible Ancient Meteorite
Hello Roman, All, I'm no expert, but... The vertical view of the vessel is triangular because the pottery fragments of the lower portion came from a much larger vessel -- probably a bowl or two-handled vessel of some sort, given its apparent diameter and the thickness of some of the fragments. The glazed and delicately-formed lip and neck appear to be from a completely different vase -- a nice one, at that. The handle is a bit odd, not sure about it. The first question that came to mind after seeing the images is Why would anyone glue pieces of a large pot together in the form of a much smaller one? Upon closer inspection, I began to wonder why an archaeologist would glue mismatched pieces of glass or glazed pottery, painted and scored terracotta, and other ceramics of greatly differing thicknesses together into a triangular shape that (crudely) mimics an amphora's shape...albeit with one handle. I'm surprised that anyone carbon-dated the site, given that the pottery and details of other artifacts are often deemed suitable for dating purposes. I had too many questions after reading the provided description. Sure, pass the fellow along to an expert...

Re: [meteorite-list] Possible Ancient Meteorite
Hi All, This looks like something Proud Tom would have done! I agree with Jason that the pottery looks mismatched. It is hard to tell but I would bet the stone is not even a meteorite. I doubt that many Archeologists would glue a pot together this way. I was not able to pull up any history online (from a couple reliable sources) on his name either. It seems if he lives in Phoenix that he would be well aware of ASU and UofA as sources of information.

The glazed anddelicately-formed lip and neck appear to be from a completelydifferent vase -- a nice one, at that. The handle is a bit odd, notsure about it.The first question that came to mind after seeing the images is Whywould anyone glue pieces of a large pot together in the form of a muchsmaller one?Upon closer inspection, I began to wonder why an archaeologist wouldglue mismatched pieces of glass or glazed pottery, painted and scoredterracotta, and other ceramics of greatly differing thicknessestogether into a triangular shape that (crudely) mimics an amphora'sshape...albeit with one handle.I'm surprised that anyone carbon-dated the site, given that thepottery and details of other artifacts are often deemed suitable fordating purposes.I had too many questions after reading the provided description.Sure, pass the fellow along to an expert...JasonOn Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 8:15 PM, Anne Black impact...@aol.com wrote: Hello Roman, It is really quite simple.

I received permission to send this question to my fellow colleagues which may have more insight into this topic. Read below, or click on link to see his photos... http://www.meteoritelabels.com/Ancient.htm Cheers, Roman Jirasek www.meteoritelabels.com Copied email follows I am an Archaeologist and recovered a meteorite in 2013, on private property in Sparta Greece. This meteorite was found inside an ancient vase, and was buried with human remains. We dated this site to approximately, 220 BCE to 130 BCE, but have not yet carbon dated the item. I do not know of any meteorite falling on or near Sparta Greece. Since the meteorite was found inside an honorary vase, we suspect it was held in high regards, and more than likely to remember a battle. The only battle recorded that had a meteorite that fell during the battle; was with ancient Turkey and the Spartans. It actually stopped the battle for two days, thinking it was a sign from the gods. Many of the Spartans recovered portions of the meteorite is a sign of victory from the God of Mars. I have enclosed a picture of the meteorite. Can you tell me? Of any meteorites that fell prior to 220 BCE, since we know that was the earliest date, since the meteorites was buried with the hoplite soldier. We assume the meteorite obviously fell before that date. This would help us, with dating the find. Additionally what would the selling price be if it were to be sold. The meteorite? Thank you Douglas Roth. Phoenix, Arizona. Sparta archaeology. Yes, it is fine to forward the info and pics. I don't have any dir links, but can be found, on face book for Douglas Rothman Scottsdale, or ancient history on face book for archeology travel and tours.

[meteorite-list] Take a Virtual Tour of Vesta With New High-Resolution Images
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-279 Take a Virtual Tour of Vesta With New High-Resolution Images Jet Propulsion Laboratory September 13, 2013 An atlas of the giant asteroid Vesta, created from images taken as NASA's Dawn mission flew around the object (also known as a protoplanet), is now accessible for the public to explore online. The set of maps was created from mosaics of 10,000 images taken by Dawn's framing camera instrument at a low altitude of about 130 miles (210 kilometers). The maps are mostly at a scale about that of regional road-touring maps, where every inch of map is equivalent to a little more than 3 miles of asteroid (1 centimeter equals 2 kilometers). Creating the atlas has been a painstaking task -- each map sheet of this series has used roughly 400 images, said Thomas Roatsch of the Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt, Germany, who presented the images Sept. 11 at the European Planetary Science Congress 2013 in London. The atlas shows how extreme the terrain is on a body the size of Vesta. In the south pole projection alone, the Severina crater contours reach a depth of 11 miles [18 kilometers]; just over 60 miles [100 kilometres] away from the mountain peak towers about 4 miles [7 kilometers] high.

View the images online at: http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/vesta_atlas_gallery.asp and http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/pia17480 . The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The University of California, Los Angeles, is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. The Dawn framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, with significant contributions by DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, and in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering, Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA.
