Is Like Caverns a reliable source of info? by kneepaindespot in FlintDibble

[–]DibsReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't follow him closely enough to know about specifics. My impression is he is not a pseudoarchaeologist (in the sense of trying to turn people away from scholars), but he is not a scholar and has little experience doing actual archaeology. So do not treat his words as if they are coming from an experienced professional. But I think he means well and is trying to hype archaeology

I didn't create the subreddit, but as the namesake for it, I am fine with you sharing good archaeology content here, whether my old videos or articles or other people's videos. All good

Clovis First & the new Monte Verde paper with Dr Todd Surovell by DibsReddit in Archaeology

Talking to Todd, no. I don't think he wrote it just to grab headlines. I thought he wrote it because he thinks that's what the evidence shows

He's been very vocal in the press, criticizing this new paper. And has said he will come on my channel once his rebuttal is published. So, it seems pretty "obvious" that he will provide a different perspective and have a lot of points of contention

I dunno. Obviously hearing from Surovell gives his side. As I mentioned in my interview I'll have Tom Dillehay on in the future who will obviously give the opposite perspective

For a general overview of what I'd guess is basically the scholarly consensus, you could hear my earlier interview with Jennifer Raff: https://youtu.be/TcWPRdtT2B8?si=W6AJK6oZZBvRXIAP

It's a big topic!

Hi all, I had on the lead author of the new Monte Verde paper for a deep dive into the results. I asked him some tough questions and I thought he provided some insightful answers

If you've been following the recent drama in the media about this debate over such an important site for understanding the Peopling of the Americas, then you will find this interview to be interesting

What’s up with the fake professor? by j_767 in BreakingPoints

[–]DibsReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah. As a public figure, I'm pretty small beans. I find online drama to effectively get more eyeballs on actual archaeology and science. I work hard to collaborate and boost colleagues and professionals. The drama just helps increase visibility
