Hello, i am a cardiovascular surgeon in southern Georgia. I started a thread on about.comarcheology about 8 months ago because of Levallois cores and tools i found here in Ga. You may be aware of Dr. Barbara’ Purdy’s finds at the CCA site in N. central Fla. she deccribed Levallois lithics from pre-clovis levels there,but the artifacts were chert, and the bulbs of percussion and other marks of manufacture were heavily weathered and degraded, thermoluminescence and patination studies both confirmed dates of 26-28 thousand years. The tools and cores i have show Levallois-leptolithic tools and cores are present here, and they are coral, which is agate, and the tool marks and mode of manufacture are pristine. Like your OOAm theory, the presence of these tools here in the deep south flies in the face of the popular dogma of the settling of the America’s. I also have animal and human effigies which reflect the animism of early upper paleolithic art from the same site. If you are interested email me and i will send photo’s. Sincerely, Mark A Corbitt M.D.

Comment on Wings of the Rockies Air and Space Museum: Cold War and Space Race Influence on Consumer Culture by Paulette Steeves

I would love to read you book, as a Native American (Cree) anthropologist/ grad student/molecular anthropologist/ archaeologists, I am fully aware the many North American western entrenched anthropologists and academics have failed miserably in the Hypocrites Anonymous Groups, my campus is so bad they had to close the local chapter, and thus the students suffer and I am tortured with archaic rhetoric of an American pre contact Terra Nullis. But you book is a little out of my budget, perhaps our library will take my hint and order a copy.
Thank you for your honesty.

Good day!
I´m writing my dissertation (PhD. thesis) on the Charles University Prague about possible morphologic typology of kinship terminologies. My biggest problem is to find complete lists of kinship terms for each language (for a statistic report, I need a minimum of 50 languages). Could you advise me, please, where to find some complete kinship trees?
Most of articles contains only a section, not a complete list…

With best regards

One of my favourites of the clownist genre is ‘Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children’ which you search for (links are disabled here).

Comment on Derrida’s Pen: Philosophy and Technology by German Dziebel

Cool interpretation, Dan. Right on the mark. A little thing like that can inspire a storm of thoughts from an ex-academic like me, all the way to the role of anthropology among other disciplines centered around its ability to observe reality through participation.
In philosophy the anthropological turn started with Heidegger who gleaned from Husserl the idea of a “return to things” and of “objective reality”/ontology as a memory of human actions as they unfold in history. Derrida read Heidegger and concluded that “there’s no reality outiside of the realm of play[writing],” meaning that all thoughts are self-descriptions.

A pen – an instrument of thought projection – that watches you instead? An output device subverted into an input device?

Yeah, Derrida would approve.
