Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

But the same argument could be made of those who take an a priori position of atheistic naturalism (i.e. God does not exist, God did not inspire any holy books.) Evidence for God is subservient to their atheistic commitment. The argument applies both ways.
It applies to any a priori position - including the position that the answer cannot be or is not known. It's silly to focus on the suspicion that the other person is arguing his/her position irrationally simply because of their basis. It's quite possible for a priori fallacies to crop in debate - but assuming them where unproven is a faulty argument in and of itself. Hence refusing to address the argument or evidence in favor of claiming the other person is merely making an a priori fallacy is itself fallacious."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Not entirely arguing from silence, as there are also no contemporary Canaanite records or iconography with camels (as there are in Egyptian and Mesopotamian records),

I'm still reading through the source, but so far it seems that Heide's main point in support of late domestication is that camel artifacts/artwork from earlier dates are inconclusive--it isn't clear that they're actually domesticated dromedaries. However, he does make this concession (pg. 363-364):

ETA: I should clarify that I haven't yet reached* the part where he discusses the Ugarit list; I'm just offering a guess based on what I've read so far.
*or maybe I have, and I accidentally skipped over it. It's late and I'm sleepy; glossing over that part in a long document wouldn't be out of the question.Last edited by fm93; 02-18-2014, 12:23 AM.Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.

Don't feel bad - I haven't gotten that far yet!
Side note: When you write a paper that involves notation which can be noted or just written in more than one form, PICK ONE and use it exclusively! It is SOOOOOOO annoying when historians (esp. but not exclusive - looking at you, physicists! ) start in one date notation and switch to another. Either use date notation or century notation - quit switching back and forth!!!!!"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
