Final Coming Up: What is a Bowhaus?

This is a word that I’m expected to know for my Historic Preservation final. I’ve know everything else, but I can’t find a definition for this word. It’ll be related to architecture I’m sure (for those of you who are aren’t familiar with HISP).

Bauhaus is a school – wikipedia had this to say about it:

“The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography.”

The Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is proof of Biblical testimony as Dinasour Bones?

Are to Museums.
The Scrolls are widely acknowledged to be among the greatest archaeological treasures linking us to the ancient Middle East, and to the formative years of Judaism and Christianity. These finds, our knowledge of Jewish society in the Land of Israel during the Hellenistic and Roman periods as well as the origins of rabbinical Judaism and early Christianity has been greatly enriched
Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” (Psalm 25:4-5) Do you believe that the Dead Sea Scrolls are a testament of GOD?

Not only do I believe the Dead Sea Scrolls are a testament to the existance of the one true God, there are historical finds that have been found by digging and underwater research which verify the Old Testament accounts. Even though these things exist to proove the Word of God is true, I know by the testimony of the Holy Spirit in my heart that He IS who He says He is, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! God bless you!!!

Scientific Diving for Underwater Archaeology? (Prefer Great Lakes suggestions.)?

Hello:
Starting my graduate program in a month in History with Museum Studies and Archaeology cognates. Having trouble locating the information I need about learning the underwater archaeology tradecraft. Can anybody, preferably a diver, introduce me to some resources I would need, specifically certification levels and recommended certicification agencies that I would need to be competitive in this job market, once I complete my degrees? Thank you in advance for your time. Will be in the Great Lakes (Michigan) region, so anybody that is local to the area would be an added bonus.

At a bare minimum, you’ll need an Open water cert. Having that will be limiting, however. It’s only good to 60 ft and doesn’t include training for overhead environments (wreck penetrations). You’ll be able to survey the exterior of a structure, not the interior. PADI, NAUI, SSI and IANTD all offer this type of course. All are about eviqvalent in training.
Ideally, because many un surveyed wrecks lay below 60 ft in the Lakes, you’ll likely want to delve into technical diving, giving you longer bottom times to complete work. PADI does offer what I consider a “beginner’s course” in tech, but the best agency to learn it is IANTD in my opinion.
The next certs you’ll want to go for is a ROV and remote sensing Ops. We have depths going down as far as 1200 feet, beyond the ability of tech gear and training to deal with , cost effectively and safely. Having a remote operated vehicle operators certificate will enhance your employment prospects.
Here’s a few local links to archeology in our area and ROV training.

As for diving courses, select your training by the caliber of the shop, not necessarily by the the actual training association they are affiliated with.

Good luck and maybe pass on some hush hush side scan info. I’m always looking for new wrecks to dive.
