Archaeologist
Yoram Haimi says organizers of Midburn, an Israeli affiliate of the
Nevada carnival, burned a wooden temple Saturday on a hilltop scattered
with flint tools from the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic
periods.
The site was
discovered 30 years ago by an Israeli archaeologist. The area is not
marked with signs and it is hard to see the ancient remains. He says the
extent of the damage is unclear.
Midburn
spokesman Eyal Marcus said the festival was unaware of any sensitive
sites at the location, and that antiquities officials only approached
organizers in the middle of the festival. He also provided an official
antiquities authority map that showed no archaeological sites at the
location of the festival. Read more on yahoo.
