1. I find this layers of Archeology discoveries quite fascinating.
   We really do live in a quite blessed age of being able to enjoy what others find and we didn’t know existed.
   Drones really have made a huge difference in what we never knew was there without the eyes overhead.
   Moving all that material with limited access to technology as engineers of that age did so much that the knowledge is lost.
   I suspect that there was a lot more water as these discoveries seem to indicate.
   Structural landscape washed away and it wasn’t from an Ice Age either.

2. I find it amazing how our government and politicians have us in an ant colony existence where so much unexplored land is restricted and everything is endangered and can’t be harvested correctly or to it’s efficiency.
   Such a waste of money on crap technology that is defective when we have such an amazing abundance of resources that renews themselves.
   Such unlimited resources and yet so restricted from even basic survival is classified as illegal.

3. Assuming the interpretation is correct, prehistory is very humbling. Francis Pryor’s analysis of Star Carr is likewise amazing.

4. We pick up the Digging for Britain series via antenna on a PBS channel. Alice does an excellent job and the shows are quite interesting, but the series has slowly morphed from fact to conjecture to speculation, and in some cases the conclusions have come quite close to downright fiction.

   That’s a pity. Because that space is already quite well occupied by laughable “documentaries” courtesy of the Smithsonian, History, and Geographic channels.

   1. As I’ve mentioned here repeatedly, the corpus for ancient history is so mean and the pressure to publish so intense that just plain making shit up has become the norm. Saying “we just don’t know” is career suicide.
