<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> This list has been too
quiet. I know this is off topic, but I thought some of you might find it very
interesting. The Archaeology Channel (TAC) has a number of very interesting
videos that can be viewed over the Internet.</FONT></DIV>

colleagues: Technological innovation has driven a great many cultural changes
with then-unforeseen consequences. A prime example is the introduction of
firearms to <SPAN class=yshortcuts><SPAN id=lw_1269446885_0>Europe</SPAN></SPAN>
in the <SPAN class=yshortcuts><SPAN id=lw_1269446885_1>14th

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">In 1995, Estonian
archaeologist Osvald Saadre found in Otepää Fortress a room containing pieces of
bronze. These pieces were parts of the oldest Estonian firearm, dating
back to the late 14th Century. This documentary follows the course of an
<SPAN class=yshortcuts><SPAN id=lw_1269446885_3>experimental archaeology
project</SPAN></SPAN>, as archaeologist Jaak Mäll works to reconstruct a
functional copy of the Otepää gonne (gun), remaining as faithful as possible to
the gunsmithing techniques of the period and to conducting test-firings using
gunpowder made in accordance with the formulas and methods of the time.
