| | Current Assessment of the Rex Gilroy Hominid Skull Collection. [copyright © Rex Gilroy 2003] |
 | | This, the second 'archaic' Homo erectus skull-type in the Gilroy collection, was recovered from old Pleistocene beds of a former [ice age] course of the Cudgegong River, in June 1997. | | | The earliest of the 'archaic' Homo sapien skull-types in the Gilroy collection was recovered by him from old volcanic deposits outside Katoomba township and until eventual reconstruction was thought to be a Homo erectus specimen. | | | As the skull-types demonstrate, the Australian Homo erectus specimens are of both the earlier flat-cranium 'archaic' and receding forehead 'late' forms, followed by both 'archaic' and 'modern' Homo sapiens. |

Brun, the guitarist, composes all Borknagar songs and lyrics, and does it gracefully. |

| | Routers/Switches: what is the main difference between routers, switches, bridges |
| | Also with the ICMP routing protocol - I didn't say that a device that uses it is archaic, but the IRDP protocol is. Token Ring is archaic, RIP is archaic. | | | Of course, generating too many Source Quench messages would cause even more network congestion, so they are used sparingly. | | | When a router begins buffering too many packets, due to an inability to transmit them as fast as they are being received, it will generate ICMP Source Quench messages. |

| | Grand Lake-North West R., Labrador, 1996 - Schwarz |
| | These Maritime Archaic sites were identified only at the eastern end of Hamilton Inlet, on the northern shore of Groswater Bay. | | | The historic "Settler" period along Grand Lake is, of course, represented by the community at North West River (where the Hudson's Bay post drew Innu to trade and eventually settle), and by a small, early 20th century settlement on the Naskaupi. | | | Although Maritime Archaic sites were not identified in the vicinity of North West River, models of Maritime Archaic subsistence-settlement systems include hypothesized inner-bay settlement in the autumn and interior hunting camps in winter. |

| | Greek social institution Spring 2002 |
| | For the purposes of this course, the term "social institutions" will be defined as the following: the habitual ways in which the Greeks of antiquity married, procreated, were raised and educated, gained their livelihood, made peace and war, worshipped their gods, and carried on relations between the sexes, age-groups, and ethnic groups. | | | This time-span covers the periods that are conventionally called the Dark Age, Archaic period, Classical period, and Hellenistic period. | | | Naturally, a course on Greek society concerns itself with the groups into which the Greeks organized themselves in order to conduct these activities, and the groups and classifications into which they relegated others. |

| | "Reflections: A Postage Stamp For Isaac" by Robert Silverberg |
| | If such a stamp were to be issued, we science-fictioneers would, of course, savor a reversion to archaic postal methods for at least a little while, for the sheer fun of seeing Isaac looking back up at us from the envelope that we’re about to mail. | | | We wouldn’t, of course, be communicating with each other that way, since we are all, by now, thoroughly enmeshed in the point-and-click e-mail world. | | | In such classic works as "The Ugly Little Boy" and "The Bicentennial Man" Isaac introduced a powerful note of compassion and pathos to such well-worn science fictional themes as robotics and time travel and gave them new emotional resonance. |

| | Borknagar: Epic Blackened Progressive Metal from Norway |
| | Over the course of Borknagar's three full length albums, Borknagar (1996); The Olden Domain (!997); and The Archaic Course (1998), they have become not only one of Norway's most prominent acts, but also made a name for themselves in the Metal scene as masters of Blackened Epic Metal. | | | His playing takes the Borknagar sound to a higher dimension, while Asgeir proves himself to be one of the most talented drummers in the scene with a completely breathtaking performance. | | | The atmospheres this band creates is spellbinding, giving the listener a feeling of standing upon the highest mountain and looking over vast, barren fields of desolation, only to gaze towards the sky and send your soul through spiraling dimensions... |

Mitchell's Winter 2003 and Winter 2004 Theories of Media classes. | | | The group will continue investigating issues of media theory established in the course, while also pursuing case studies based on the specializations and interests of individual members. |

| | The Romanian Peasant's Museum - The Masks Customs |
| | These dances originate from the archaic, pre-Christian mentality according to which difficult moments occur in the people's lives and in the course of time, when the effects of the never ending struggle between good and evil, taking place in the Universe, can have a negative impact on every man's life. | | | In the course of time and alongside with the spreading of Christianism, this interval has been assimilated to the sacred and festive period between Christmas and the Epiphany and the protection rites were preserved, being transmitted along centuries as specific Romanian traditional customs. | | | One of those moments of crisis, when the threat of evil seemed impending, was the very passing from one year to another, all along the twelve cosmogonical days, when one world was dying and another one took shape, at the end and the beginning of every year. |

| | William Morgan, of course, should not be blamed for the gap between colloquial and literary Welsh, for that is more likely due to the fact that from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries there was no really Welsh educational system. | | | William Morgan created an idiom in which to translate the most archaic and stately Hebrew scriptures, and forced Welsh into a mould which was even then rather old-fashioned, using words that were more archaic than the popular parlance of his own generation. | | | William Morgan's Bible appeared in 1588 just at the time when Welsh had declined in its official status and dignity and was starting to divide into varying dialects. |

| | Greek Sculpture |
| | Of course, the earlier figures also stand, but only in the sense that they are in an upright position, and are not reclining, sitting, kneeling, or running; their stance is really an arrested walk, with the weight of the body resting evenly on both legs. | | | There is still a hint of the archaic smile, but the figure has an ideal classic expressionless face and the sculptor had more command of anatomy than his predecessors. | | | The convention had given an impression of strained cheerfulness which the artist may have appreciated, but which was usually quite alien to what one would expect of Greek funerary or votive art, and which cannot fairly be added to the few instances of emotion expressed in the features of Archaic statues. |
