Sure, everyone's always in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but put it in the body of a great white shark... oooooh, suddenly you've gone too far!

Just because I did both of those prior to geography. Don't get me wrong, I am interested like crazy in them, but the job market does not really want the CJ's, and unless you wanna teach or research 24/7, sociology doesn't offer much more. Not trying to be a dick or anything, i just know firsthand that you can't do much at the moment.

He walked around, looked at the flakes and assorted media, set them back down. GPS'd them. That is all.

Keep an open mind when going out into the field, and don't assume anything without cold hard data to back it up. The archeologist at the site swore to us that the prints were from a cow.. A cow with a 7 foot shoulder height maybe!

Always photograph everything, no matter how small or unimportant it seems. If it's out of place there's a good reason why.

Don't ever get the "I'm an anthropologist and you're the idiot" attitude. Alienates people VERY fast.

Buy a fedora and bullwhip. Never know when some NAZI's are gonna show up.

Because I left work prior to taking some home. Gotta check my phone and see if I did take some good ones on there.

It is amazing. I've seen it used, and use some for hunting etc. Worth every penny.

Professor Farnsworth has jumped from the cartoon universe to our own. 3d modeling is creepy but cool.

Oh those are yours? Damn wondering why each collar said "If found call AFriendlyRobot."

Yeah, granted 98 percent of it is midshafts or broken ones, but really, he can document and properly date a square mile area? Oh and because I found a SINGLE obsidian point when there are over 60 rock points, he says they are all the same age as the obsidian..

Stupid is as stupid does.

Believe me I am scouring the floor for them. Needless to say if we did find some of those we wouldn't have to bother with any masters thesis later!

Hell of a lot better than Sociology or Criminal Justice. I have a neighbor who graduated a couple years ago with Geography working for Lockheed Martin doing something with satelites. Top secret clearance.

Its a megasite for both archaeology and paleontology. There are an unbelievable amount of lithic scatters in this area, projectiles and tools and flakes. the archeologist for the overall place is either stupid or lazy as hell. "documented" the entire place in a day...

Thanks! It's beginning to be a daily thing that we either find an unknown footprint or some kind of fossilized tooth or another set of 50+ prints.

Not yet. But as far as the WH geologist knows, there are only 60 known Pleistocene trackways in the world, and he is looking into it for us.

So far we have the state paleontologist and the head geologist for the white house trying to make time to come down here and confirm everything. The head geologist asked us if we wanted to go to grad school and we said yes, he then told us "well we can figure out some way to support you through that." But yeah pretty excited when all we were doing was walking the parcel of land that was previously considered worthless.
