Thanks for sharing such a great interview. Her story is fascinating and she describes so well her learning and growing process in archaeology, that I'm sure my EFL students are going to love her!

Absolutely fascinating! We are currently staying in the Club Quarters Hotel on top of the General Harrison. I love that they have an outline of the ship designed into the footpath

This has nothing to do with anything whatsoever. these were hippie idiots who squatted on federal property.

Thank you for sharing this presentation!

close minded tools.

I kindly suggest that you reconsider your approach towards suppressing Graham. Your recent open letter seems to showcase certain insecurities, as if you were seeking refuge behind the voices of indigenous communities. In contrast, Graham has demonstrated a propensity for empowering these communities, whereas your own self-centeredd propaganda appears to solely serve your own interests. It is my belief that society is becoming increasingly enlightened and that your misguided efforts may lead to negative outcomes, including potential shame and professional setbacks.

Bulldoze woke insurrectionists

Hey knock it off with Graham Hancock.

UFO's are real. We have people who can talk to the dead. Recently physicists have discovered that wormholes or portals in space can exist. Quantum biology explains how things like photosynthesis work. The world we live in is far more complex and bewildering than we can understand - especially archeologists.

I just started reading an article stating that the Society for American Archaeology is demanding Netflix reclassify Graham Hancock docuseries as fiction. The more archeologists push back against Mr Hancock, the more people like me will distrust you. I'm not saying he's 100% right. But I believe he should not be dismissed either. If archeologists are 100% certain that he's wrong, prove him wrong. Unless you're afraid he'll be proven right.

So you asked Netflix to change something of Graham Hancock? Like we're only supposed to accept your account of life on this planet? Now we have a bunch of woke archaeologist? From now on if I see anything from you I'm going to pin letters asking for it to be listed as fiction or sci-fi and a bunch of woke losers.

How many people should be invited to present in a session?

I have found an area near my house that was clearly a chert tool manufacturing area. I will have to come up and show you my finds and research! I think its clovis or possibly preclovis as some of the tools found do not match any known tool making techniques I can find.

Fascinating. Are there any books you could suggest that discuss ancient trade? I find the topic of trade for profit doesn't really get much attention until Adam Smith and we all know it existed thousands of year before he came on to the scene.

What a fantastic interview and wonderful perspective of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. I'm glad the SAA conducted this interview and thank you Lynne for your contributions and service to the historic preservation community.

The problem is with scientific journalists who, often without having the appropriate background, take a scientific paper and warp it into an article with artist renditions. These journalists are often politically biased and sensationalize things that aren't true about a scientific paper or take a small snippets out of context and mess things up, often missing the point of what the scientist was doing in the first place. They often rarely interview the scientists of a particular research article, and rarely put it in context of the broader environment of the current research in that field. Thank you for putting your own ideas out to the public directly. I wish that more scientists would speak out about the misinterpretation of their research and depictions of it to the public.

It keeps baffling me that, with all the evidence we have today, nobody reaches the (in my opinion inevitable) conclusion that modern humans are the direct result of Neanderthal assimilation, and that all the achievements of modern humans are thanks to our Neanderthal legacy. I wrote about this at franklludwig.com/neanderthal-assimilation-created-modern-humans.html Abstract: 'Homo sapiens were quite unremarkable until they met the highly sophisticated Neanderthals. Assimilating the Neanderthal led to the Upper Palaeolithic Revolution since it caused a drastic increase in Homo sapiens’ brain size and consequently brought about their rapid evolution by combining the creativity, resourcefulness and inquisitive spirit of Neanderthals with the ambition and networking skills of Homo sapiens, thereby creating modern humans.'

-- Chimpanzees are 96% 'identical' to extent Hominins, and Neandertalensis (extinct Hominin) were clearly dissimilar from to H sapiens in many remarkable ways in terms of morphology and apparent behaviors and niches. Much of the most interesting aspects are skipped over and omitted from the discussion and topic in favor of a narrative explaining that archaic now extinct forms of Hominins were 'okay', and not peculiar or remarkable in anyways significant or noteworthy. I find that perspective unpersuasive, lacking objectivity and boring and evasive of the remarkable differences and distinctions. Aside from large brains H neandertalensis is no more similar to H sapiens morphologically than was the much earlier H ergaster (Turkana/Nariokotome fossils KNM-WT 15000) or H erectus hominins that also used fire, fashioned impressive tools, used ochre, made scratch marks on shells, performed first aid triage and elder care and concealed dead bodies etc etc. There is too much conjectural narrative and interpretive explanation expressed as a declarative culmination of the ongoing research efforts. Its a problematic issue in that 'the science' isnt settled the consensus unanimous in terms of interpretations or forensic evidence. More discussion and deeper considerations are pending and the 'Neanderthal story line' continue to sway back and forth between the original depictions of 'volatile man ape' and the 'just an old cossack'. I still favor the Marcellin Boule, Arnoud Hurel and Zdenek Burian. H neandertalensis did indeed carry themselves with a differing pelvic gate and posture in keeping with their distinctive head/neck, pelvis and ribcage and long bones. Even the thumbs and shoulders were distinct and different from any populations living on Earth.

Very useful topics 👏

Let’s convince UNESCO. Jordan has another monument. It will be as important as Petra or even more. There are interesting ruins and reliefs on the Black Desert, dated 8,500 years old. They can only be seen from planes, drones, satellites and helicopters. Archaeologists don't exactly know nowadays what they represent. These ruins really represent embryos of several species in different stages of development and will be able to shed light on the origin of the human being and our planet. When it will be officially confirmed by biologists, this discovery will be a delight for the eyes, shed light to the origin of humanity. Activate the subtitles in English: th-cam.com/video/rikVfTbX2Mo/w-d-xo.html It contains the documentation with the Jordanian authorities about this scientific and archaeological discovery

I wish I would have gone to college. I love archeology and anthropology. Thank you for the videos about Prehistoric Texas.

Too bad the ceremony had to be done this way. It is really a bad break for the awardees who normally get to be recognized in person and receive the applause and support of their colleagues. Congratulations to all of the award-winners! Maybe they can be identified with a special ribbon on their nametag next year, and we will know to congratulate them, maybe even buy them a beer! (can the SAA give people free drinks? I think these 2020 awardees deserve something special at the 2021 meeting.)

I study archaeology in Croatia, so is there a way I can make an account or acces the publications?

Hola Amilcar Vargas. Muy interesante estas recomendaciones que ofreces para las experiencias fuera de nuestros paises. Me gustó mucho tu presentación.

I went on a tour of many of these sites with Dr. Dean through the Crow Canyon Archeological Center. It was an incredible experience. Thank you Dr. Dean for stimulating in me a lifelong interest in Anasazi culture, and archeology in general.
