Select World Travel were delighted when Lawrence Peachey from DERTOUR invited a member of our staff for a short excursion to Cologne to celebrate the Cologne Carnival. We have sent our Consultant Mr Paul Knapper to discover the dlights of this wonderful German City and will be presenting some Photographs and Video on Pauls return on Wednesday. Today is Rose Monday and one of the Maddest Days in Colognes yearly calendar.
Carnival has been celebrated in the City of Cologne since time immemorial. However, after the French Revolutionary troops left Cologne in 1814 and the Prussians took over, it was high time to "organise" the street carnival which, the new authority felt, was getting out of hand.
Thus, in 1823 the "Festordnendes Komitee" was founded, the predecessor of todays Festive Committee.
On February 10, 1823 Cologne celebrated the first Rose Monday ("Rosenmontag") with the motto "Inthronisation of the Carnival Hero".
Over the years, decades and centuries certain traditions and customs emerged, which are still the hallmark of the traditional Cologne Carnival: the indoor festivities (sessions and balls) and, of course, the street carnival, culminating in the grand parade on Rose Monday. It is the task of the Festive Committee, the umbrella organisation representing well over 100 Cologne carnival associations, traditional corps, etc., to coordinate, set common standards, and preserve the tradition of the "fifth season".
No doubt, the Cologne "Karneval" plays in the Champions League together with the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro and Carnival in Venice!
The Carnival Season
Given its Christian roots, the date of Rose Monday is determined by the Church calendar: It takes place on the Monday before Ash Wednesday, which in turn marks the beginning of Lent leading up to Good Friday and Easter. Traditionally, the fifth season is declared open at 11 minutes past eleven on the eleventh of November! The Carnival spirit is then temporarily suspended by the Advent and Christmas period, and picks up again "in earnest" in the New Year. Street carnival, also called "the crazy days", takes places between Thursday (Women’s Carnival Day) before Rose Monday and ends on Ash Wednesday. In 2007 the dates are as follows:
Women's Carnival Day, Thursday, 15 February 2007
Official opening of the street carnival at 11:11 hrs at the Alter Markt in the heart of the old town of Cologne.
Carnival Saturday, 17 February 2007
Traditional "Funkenbiwak", the gathering of the colourful Corps troops at the Neumarkt.
Carnival Sunday, 18 February 2007
School group parade through the city centre starting at 11:00 hrs.
Rose Monday, 19 February 2007
The climax of street carnival, with the official parade starting before 11:00 hrs, organised by the

Carnival Tuesday, 20 February 2007
Various Carnival parades in the suburbs of Cologne.
Ash Wednesday, 21 February 2007
Traditionally, fish dinners are served at pubs and restaurants.
The Parade on Rose Monday
No doubt, the highlight of the street carnival is Rose Monday with over 10.000 participants, one-third of them female, 440 horses , 97 floats and 123 bands in 2006.
The 2007 motto: "Cologne is all of us!". Don't miss it!

Weathered fossiliferous flint from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.
Flint is the "official" state gemstone of Ohio (actually, there's no such thing as "official" anything). "Flint" is sometimes used as a lithologic term by modern geologists, but it is a synonym for chert. Flint and chert are the same - they are cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rocks. Rockhounds often assert that flint is high-quality while chert is low-quality. Some geologists assert that "flint" implies a biogenic origin and "chert" implies a chemical origin.
Many cherts do have a chemical origin - chert nodules are moderately common in some limestone units. The nodules form during diagenesis - pre-existing silica components in the carbonate sediments are dissolved, mobilized, and reprecipitated as chert masses. Some cherts do have a biogenic origin - for example, radiolarian cherts (rich in radiolarian microfossils) or spicular cherts (rich in siliceous sponge spicules).
The most famous flint deposit in Ohio is Flint Ridge, in Licking County. At this locality, the Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Vanport Flint is exposed in several places. The geologic literature on the Vanport Flint is relatively sparse, with inaccurate, incomplete descriptions and characterizations. For example, the literature describes the Vanport as a sheet of flint at Flint Ridge - it's actually a meganodule horizon. Other descriptions refer to the chert as the remains of siliceous sponges. In reality, siliceous sponge spicules are quite scarce in Vanport samples.
Two graduate student projects during the 2000s, conducted at two different universities, had very different conclusions & interpretations about the origin of the Vanport Flint. A 2003 study concluded that chert at Flint Ridge is biogenic in origin. A 2006 study concluded that the chert is chemical in origin.
Studies done by geologists at Ohio State University at Newark indicate that the Vanport Flint has a relatively complex history, the details of which are still being worked out.
Modern flint knappers value the Vanport Flint for being multicolored and high-quality (= very few impurities). With artificial heating, the flint is more easily knapped into arrowheads, spear points, and other objects. Prehistoric American Indians quarried the Vanport Flint at many specific sites on Flint Ridge. Old Indian flint pits can be examined along hiking trails in Flint Ridge State Park ("State Memorial"). Many authentic Indian artifacts found in Ohio (arrowheads & spearpoints - "projectile points") are composed of Vanport Flint.
The weathered flint shown here has numerous cavities - "vugs". The vugs are actually molds of fossils - principally fusulinid foraminifera. Fusulinids are an extinct group of unicellular, marine benthic organisms (Protista, Granuloreticulosa, Foraminifera, Fusulinina). They had large, elongated, rice-like, microgranular, calcareous skeletons (tests). Fusulinids were widespread in Late Paleozoic shallow epicontinental seas.

No doubt, the highlight of the street carnival is Rose Monday with over 10.000 participants, one-third of them female, 440 horses , 97 floats and 123 bands in 2006.

Select World Travel were delighted when Lawrence Peachey from DERTOUR invited a member of our staff for a short excursion to Cologne to celebrate the Cologne Carnival. We have sent our Consultant Mr Paul Knapper to discover the dlights of this wonderful German City and will be presenting some Photographs and Video on Pauls return on Wednesday. Today is Rose Monday and one of the Maddest Days in Colognes yearly calendar.
Carnival has been celebrated in the City of Cologne since time immemorial. However, after the French Revolutionary troops left Cologne in 1814 and the Prussians took over, it was high time to "organise" the street carnival which, the new authority felt, was getting out of hand.
Thus, in 1823 the "Festordnendes Komitee" was founded, the predecessor of todays Festive Committee.
On February 10, 1823 Cologne celebrated the first Rose Monday ("Rosenmontag") with the motto "Inthronisation of the Carnival Hero".
Over the years, decades and centuries certain traditions and customs emerged, which are still the hallmark of the traditional Cologne Carnival: the indoor festivities (sessions and balls) and, of course, the street carnival, culminating in the grand parade on Rose Monday. It is the task of the Festive Committee, the umbrella organisation representing well over 100 Cologne carnival associations, traditional corps, etc., to coordinate, set common standards, and preserve the tradition of the "fifth season".
No doubt, the Cologne "Karneval" plays in the Champions League together with the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro and Carnival in Venice!
The Carnival Season
Given its Christian roots, the date of Rose Monday is determined by the Church calendar: It takes place on the Monday before Ash Wednesday, which in turn marks the beginning of Lent leading up to Good Friday and Easter. Traditionally, the fifth season is declared open at 11 minutes past eleven on the eleventh of November! The Carnival spirit is then temporarily suspended by the Advent and Christmas period, and picks up again "in earnest" in the New Year. Street carnival, also called "the crazy days", takes places between Thursday (Women’s Carnival Day) before Rose Monday and ends on Ash Wednesday. In 2007 the dates are as follows:
Women's Carnival Day, Thursday, 15 February 2007
Official opening of the street carnival at 11:11 hrs at the Alter Markt in the heart of the old town of Cologne.
Carnival Saturday, 17 February 2007

I bought this from a fantastic Knapper named Andrew who was working in Indian Rock Park on July 4th. There was a big BBQ there and he was set up off to the site working various pieces.
This particular one is a "scotts bluff" style spear head or knife blade made from "triple flow" obsidian.
Its so damn pretty... the photo doesn't do it justice.

Example of Levallois Technique. This somewhat addictive thing to do, the angle of the striking platform is crucial. A tortoise core is constructed using a hard hammer and the striking platform needs to be quite steep in order for a large flake to be produced (which is the aim of the technique). Sometimes there is a naturally steep side that can be used otherwise a steep striking platform needs to be prepared. A hard hammer is also used for the final blow resulting in a satisfying ”crack” sound. A little like cracking a nut. Interestingly the examples I have made do not seem to always show a prepared striking platform, perhaps indicating that just because a prepared striking platform does not exist on the final flake it does not necessarily mean it is not Levallois.

Chert (also known as "flint") is a microcrystalline to cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rock. It can have a biogenic or chemical origin, but may also form other ways. This chert sample is New York State's Onondaga Formation. It comes from a Middle Devonian-aged limestone succession. Such rocks are widespread in eastern America, but go by other names (for example, the Columbus Limestone of Ohio and the Jeffersonville Limestone along the Indiana-Kentucky border).
This material is knappable - the point seen here was made by a modern knapper.
Stratigraphy: Onondaga Formation / Onondaga Limestone, Middle Devonian.
Locality: New York State, USA

This tiny “projectile point” was unearthed during the excavation of a Dorset Paleoeskimo site on the island of Newfoundland in July 2009. A child’s toy, a shaman’s prop, or perhaps merely an ancient flint-knapper demonstrating his/her skill, this find takes a Paleoeskimo aesthetic for small tools to new extremes of miniaturization.

It is the task of the Festive Committee, the umbrella organisation representing well over 100 Cologne carnival associations, traditional corps, etc., to coordinate, set common standards, and preserve the tradition of the "fifth season".
No doubt, the Cologne "Karneval" plays in the Champions League together with the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro and Carnival in Venice!
The Carnival Season
Given its Christian roots, the date of Rose Monday is determined by the Church calendar: It takes place on the Monday before Ash Wednesday, which in turn marks the beginning of Lent leading up to Good Friday and Easter. Traditionally, the fifth season is declared open at 11 minutes past eleven on the eleventh of November! The Carnival spirit is then temporarily suspended by the Advent and Christmas period, and picks up again "in earnest" in the New Year. Street carnival, also called "the crazy days", takes places between Thursday (Women’s Carnival Day) before Rose Monday and ends on Ash Wednesday. In 2007 the dates are as follows:
Women's Carnival Day, Thursday, 15 February 2007
Official opening of the street carnival at 11:11 hrs at the Alter Markt in the heart of the old town of Cologne.
Carnival Saturday, 17 February 2007
Traditional "Funkenbiwak", the gathering of the colourful Corps troops at the Neumarkt.
Carnival Sunday, 18 February 2007
School group parade through the city centre starting at 11:00 hrs.
Rose Monday, 19 February 2007
The climax of street carnival, with the official parade starting before 11:00 hrs, organised by the
Festive Committee of the Cologne Carnival.
Carnival Tuesday, 20 February 2007
Various Carnival parades in the suburbs of Cologne.
Ash Wednesday, 21 February 2007
Traditionally, fish dinners are served at pubs and restaurants.
The Parade on Rose Monday
No doubt, the highlight of the street carnival is Rose Monday with over 10.000 participants, one-third of them female, 440 horses , 97 floats and 123 bands in 2006.
The 2007 motto: "Cologne is all of us!". Don't miss it!

Select World Travel were delighted when Lawrence Peachey from DERTOUR invited a member of our staff for a short excursion to Cologne to celebrate the Cologne Carnival. We have sent our Consultant Mr Paul Knapper to discover the dlights of this wonderful German City and will be presenting some Photographs and Video on Pauls return on Wednesday. Today is Rose Monday and one of the Maddest Days in Colognes yearly calendar.
Carnival has been celebrated in the City of Cologne since time immemorial. However, after the French Revolutionary troops left Cologne in 1814 and the Prussians took over, it was high time to "organise" the street carnival which, the new authority felt, was getting out of hand.
Thus, in 1823 the "Festordnendes Komitee" was founded, the predecessor of todays Festive Committee.
