Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) Image Ownership: Public Domain The Haitian Revolution has often been described as the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. Slaves initiated the rebellion in 1791 and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony. The Haitian Revolution, however, was much more complex, consisting of several revolutions going on simultaneously. In the 18th century, Saint Dominigue, as Haiti was then known, became France's wealthiest overseas colony, largely because of its production of sugar, coffee, indigo, and cotton generated by an enslaved labor force. The three remaining groups were of African descent: those who were free, those who were slaves, and those who had run away. Inspired by events in France, a number of Haitian-born revolutionary movements emerged simultaneously. Led by former slave Toussaint l’Overture, the enslaved would act first, rebelling against the planters on August 21, 1791.

Interactive Dig Sagalassos - City in the Clouds In 1706, Paul Lucas, traveling in southwest Turkey on a mission for the court of Louis XIV, came upon the mountaintop ruins of Sagalassos. The first Westerner to see the site, Lucas wrote that he seemed to be confronted with remains of several cities inhabited by fairies. Later, during the mid-nineteenth century, William Hamilton described it as the best preserved ancient city he had ever seen. Toward the end of that century, Sagalassos and its theater became famous among students of classical antiquity. Yet large scale excavations along the west coast at sites like Ephesos and Pergamon, attracted all the attention. Since 1990, Sagalassos has become a large-scale, interdisciplinary excavation of the Catholic University of Leuven, directed by Marc Waelkens. Field Notes 2003-2010 Investigation of Sagalassos and the surrounding countryside The Antonine Dynastic Gallery at Sagalassos August 27, 2008 A head of the emperor Marcus Aurelius has been found at the Roman Baths.

Introduction Research carried out since the mid-1970"s has dramatically altered our ideas about the size and complexity of Preclassic lowland Maya centers. This, coupled with abundant and spectacular Classic period remains, fostered a bias that Maya civilization developed in the lowlands by around A.D. 300, much later than their highland counterparts, suggesting external origins in addition to a slow pace. Such an isolated region as the Petén would hardly have witnessed the beginnings of Maya civilization, which might rather be expected in parts of the Maya area where the stimulus of contact with other cultures should have quickened development–Central Chiapas seems ideal.

ethnographiques.org - Revue en ligne de sciences humaines et sociales American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) The History of Cartography Project David Woodward, cofounder of the award-winning History of Cartography series and Arthur H. Robinson Professor of Geography Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW), died of cancer on 25 August 2004, at his home in Madison. His passing was peaceful, and he was surrounded by his family. David Woodward was born in 1942 in Royal Leamington Spa, England. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wales, Swansea, he came to the United States to study cartography under Arthur H. Robinson at UW–Madison, where he earned a doctorate in geography in 1970. During a 1977 walk through the countryside in Exeter, England, David Woodward and J. David skillfully balanced his work on the History of Cartography Project with his other scholarly endeavors and academic responsibilities. David was a prolific and well-regarded scholar; his individual research and editorial works were widely disseminated and highly acclaimed.
