For my new followers: Thanks for the follow. I specialize in lithics, landscapes, mounds, hunter-gatherers, & southeast NA. I try to answer all the questions asked to me that I can. Hoping to make more YouTube videos but been busy trying to finish my PhD.

I love that I still get comments like this. This is from my Poverty Point video which is just sharing my data from my MA thesis, I don't even get into the whole pseudoarchaeology topic haha. The obsession these people have is at least comical.

Finishing up a paper that I will be presenting in a month. I'll share a more comprehensive thread about it after I present, but I can note some things I am highlighting. A few key topics are 1) how ancestral Native Americans inscribed memory onto the landscape through building

How do people take someone like this serious? "This is the oldest site on Earth"- What!?! There are people that won't shut up about the "Clovis First" paradigm in archaeology that's not been around for decades - but this guy says Gobekli Tepe is the oldest site on Earth - when

Won't be posting as much for a bit. Will be submitting a paper soon (will be sharing the details after I present it), back to finishing up my dissertation, building a website, teaching, and running a research center. Hopefully next year (during the summer), I can get back to

Puerto Rico's first inhabitants occupied the island from at least 4300–4050 cal BC #WaybackWednesday They made and wore pendants made from the lustrous black rock serpentinite, indicating a strong group identity rooted in a sense of localised belonging 🆓 https://t.co/mHNNENAHQa

This week for the Southeast Archaeology class, we are talking about the Middle to Late Archaic. A few topics that are being discussed: -The Indian Knoll site and the incorporation of dog burials within the mound complex and what that means for the roles of dogs during the

He may be a little attached to me...

Any recommendations on archaeological publications on Gaul and Roman interactions?

Just to give an impression of the size of #Göbeklitepe to those unfamiliar with the site, we have now turned our attention to the NW part of the mound, where earlier excavations by K. Schmidt revealed architectural remains that are very likely domestic.

How do you repair your mail armour? #ChainmailDay No, this isn't a set-up for a bad joke. #Roman mail armour is often found in small fragments, which were used to 'patch' damaged armour similar to patching textiles. 🆓 https://t.co/uTS27XJPNS

It seems at least my argument was correct. Been talking to people all day who haven't read publications or reviewed scientific data about Gobekli Tepe, but are pretty certain that the T-Pillars and walls are not from the same culture.
