>>138258400
Every prehistoric population considered themselves to be the best. Their lifestyle, clothes, language, traditions, religion etc. Most tribes did not even have a name for themselves like Thracians, Teutons etc.. Every society basically called themselves "Humans" in their spoken language. They only gave names to foreign tribes. Later it obviously changed but the fact remains that anything alien to them was mostly considered lesser. For example the Greeks took this to the extreme. They considered themselves to be the perfect society and anything else was primitive to them. When the Persians conquered Athens, after the war the Athenians thought the mere presence of the Persians corrupted and tainted the place, so they destroyed everything and rebuilt it completely from scratch.

What school dis you go to?
Do you currently work in the field?

Im thinking about doing my MA in archaeo after undergrad

Do you believe that there were very advanced ancient civilizations that were wiped out through catastrophic events, like the dinosaurs (which were unknown to us until quite very recently), or any theories that o against mainstream archaeology for that matter? Also, do you think humanity is far older than we are led to believe? .

In countries such as Afghanistan or Irag the army should protect them. That is the big ones. They should not move anything if not necessary as it can cause damage that can not be repaired.

Is a population replacement a common theme for the fall of civilizations, such as Egypt or Greece, or do populations just go retarded?

Also what do you think about there being one population that was very intelligent and it spread from the middle east towards Greece, Rome etc, which was making a bunch the golden ages? It's a crackpot theory of mine and any simply denouncement would do

>>138260602
The swastika is more ancient then Hitler or the Hindus. It was already used in the neolithic. It was a decoration on many objects. For example pottery which is preserved very well compared to other organic objects. It was originally a solar symbol and became popular in Eurasia from China to Europe. Hitler himself used it because the germanic tribes indeed used it too. He did not rob it from Hindus, Arians or anything like that. White people emerged when Homo Sapiens came to Europe. The lesser activity of the sun compared to that in Africa caused the skin to lose pigment. Here our ancient ancestors competed and also mixed themselves with Neanderthals.

No. And to answer the "we wuz kangz" meme, most of the egyptians were not black. Absolutely not the ruling class or aristocracy. They looked similar to mediterranean people. The black egyptians meme comes from the Nubians. Nubia was a land south from Egypt. They were imitating the more advanced egyptian culture and even built miniature pyramids.

The bell beaker culture originated either somewhere in northern Africa (Morocco I presume) or somewhere in Rheinland. They spread to almost the entire european continent. But it consisted most likely from many cultures that accepted the material "fashion" of the bell beaker people. Elongated skulls appear in my periods and regions. Most commonly they are associated with steppe nomands like the Huns, Sarmatians, Avars etc.

Define a "golden age" in society.

>>138260319

but doesn't the open sale of antiquities provide a free market solution to the enormous problem of archeological funding?

by banning antiquity sales, you are making the entire industry dependent upon the government, and preventing more things from being funded and discovered.

shame on you.

>>138264312
That's the response I get?

I guess the major ones like the Islamic golden age, the renaissance but I was more so wondering if there's an underlying pattern to all great times that you can see across all cultures, whether it's drugs, a specific openness to epistemology, a specific openness to any other thinking besides epistemology... or whether they are all predicated on a great economy

What historically proven artefact that hasn't been found yet would you like to discover?

>>138264312
>>138264607
So even minor golden ages like the "Frankish golden age" where the king invested in the inteligentsia at the time and they standardized the typescript of writing, which is similar to the one we use today.

>>138257649

are you a cultural relativist?

what do you think of inherent racial differences? I know they often use skulls, teeth and other bones to identify the races of remains in archaeological sites, so I imagine it would be rather challenging to avoid the racial question as an archaeologist

>>138262635
Yeah, it is more common then people think. Scythians smoked pot, Incas, Aztecs and Mayans took halucinogens. The oldest known weed comes from a tomb of a shaman buried in China.

Define a "golden age" in society.

Genetically there was not a replacement in Europe that much. Our genes are almost the same as in the paleolithic. The colonists, invaders were never so numerous that they could change the genome. What did change was culture. If you enforce your culture strong enough, you can change the mindset of a population.

You could say that after the emergence of first civilizations in the middle east the knowledge spread to other parts of the world. Some people did migrate but usually the indigenous people from various lands just copied what they saw and modified it to their views. Also there was probably not a single cradle of civilization. A second one was in Harappa and Mohendzo Daro in India and also China.

Of course it can. If the bones are not burned and they still are in good shape a skill anthropologist can determine the sex, age (approximately) and even race (mostly from skulls).

>>138265657
is this common knowledge amongst archeologists?

i.e. what % of your colleagues agree that there are physical differneces between races?

>>138263269
Well Egypt fell because it was weakened from the assault of invaders from the north by the "sea peoples". Internal struggles, and stronger civilizations took control over them like the Persians and later the Romans. There is no such pattern by just mixing. You could say that strong invasion by barbarians could weaken an empire enough to take it down eventually, like Rome.

As far as Africa goes (except for Egypt), there were not many major civilizations except for Aksum and Great Zimbabwe, so they did not manage to form empires like in Asia or the Mediterranean.

I'm pretty sure that you are wrong. Almost all modern European ancestry is from populations which arrived within the last 15,000 years. Paleolithic Europeans left very little genetic impact on modern Europeans.

First you need to have a strong military. After forming a state you need to have internal stability so the army can guard the borders and you can focus your resources on other things. That is food and water. Also many kings were wise to invite scholars from more advanced civilizations to teach the ruling class, aristocracy and some richer people. They can take over from there and even come up with their own innovations. I would say that power, stability and education are the most important pillars. Also do not forget about natural resources. Trade can be an enormous help.

Swedes were fierce warriors in the viking age. In the roman period the Goths are probably the most famous ones to come down to the roman borders and basically right after the Huns they bacame the number 2. biggest threat. However they migrated much earlier. The other germanic tribes feared them so they attacked Rome from fear of the Goths and caused the Marcomannic wars. After the viking age the Swedes started to become more peacefull focusing more on defense. They did some rampage during the 30 years war however.

Many archaic Eurasian populations retained the negroid phenotype. Their remnants in S.E. Asia are phenotypically closer to Congoids despite being far more closely related to other Eurasians.

I specifically wanted to know about the Basal Eurasians. They were a distinct racial group which contributed substantial ancestry to the Neolithic farmers, and therefore to Europeans. Do we know what the Basal Eurasian race looked like? The Natufians had large amounts of BE admixture and their skeletons had negroid characteristics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natufian_culture#Genetics The idea that a negrito/papuan like archaic relic population significantly contributed to our ancestry is something that bothers me.

The last three major migrations into Europe replaced almost all of the indigenous European populations.

1. About 15,000 the Western Hunters migrated into Europe from the Near East and eliminated the Magdalenian/Soulutrean reindeer hunters.

2. About 10,000 years ago the Neolithic First Farmers, themselves a mix of Western Hunters and Basal Eurasians, replaced most of the Western Hunters in Europe.

3. About 4,000 years ago the Yamnaya Aryan steppe nomads, themselves a mixture of Western Hunters, Basal Eurasians and Ancient North Eurasian proto-Mongoloids, exterminated the Neolithic farmers from most of Northern Europe.

I did response or not? Hm...I do not see it. Ok. So here it is again. You need a strong military to secure land and eliminate competition and guard the borders so a state can be formed. Once stability is ensured you can start to worry about providing basic needs to the population. Food and water. After that you should start inviting scholars from other civilizations so they can teach the higher classes of society. Those classes can take over after and bring their own innovations. Also natural resources are very good for wealth and trade.

So basically the pillars are power, stability, education and natural resources. That should secure a prospering future for a nation.

They were significant during the early stages of the neolithic. Some of the biggest neolithic "cities" were built there. Like Catal Hoyuk, Hacilar, etc. They even contributed to Europe when they migrated to Cyprus, Greece from Bosporus and then to the Balkan region. They stopped at the lake of Balaton. So they brought progress with agriculture and sedentary life to Europe. Then the linear band pottery culture took over and spread the neolithic "package" from central Europe to almost the whole continent.

Historians deal with written sources but they can also look into other humanities to help them basically write history.

Archaeology is about the finding, studying and interpretation of the material remains of humans. In comparison with history, archaeologist can also enter the time of prehistory and study it. Historians start their work from the emergence of written sources.

You yourself have previously incorrectly claimed that no major population replacements have occurred in Europe.

You can date pottery with thermoluminiscence but dating a stone structure is dating the stone itself which does not help us at all because we would need to know when was that stone cut off from a rock.

Considering you research Slavs too: many hold the view, unscientific in my opinion, according to which the word Slav, Slavic, and Slavonic comes from the same word as English slave. Slovenes from Slovenia still call themselves as Slavs, which either means a word or glory in all Slavic languages.

There are all the tools you need,

Most of the time you make a trench. You dig down trying to keep the ground straight if possible. You advance from layer to layer which is represented by the color of the soil. You can see those layers in the profile of the trench. That is the ideal way. It can change based on the situation you are in. Every layer should have its own artifacts. The more deeper you go, the layers and artifacts get older.

I also majored in Anthropology. (Just a B.A. lel)

I was heavily disillusioned halfway through my studies when I realized that Anthropology as a discipline had already been neutered by political correctness. Half of my classes were about how racist and backwards our supposed field of study was, and how we needed to look at things through a more progressive lens. I only had one halfway redpilled professor-- he taught an excellent Native American Ecology course that shattered all illusions of Noble savage shit and broke things down scientifically. I also had a good class on intro physical anthropology-- but the teacher was a female ex-marine who used to identify bodies for the military, and she was a bit of a head case and did not last long.

I should have stayed home and learned a trade while continuing to study humanity as a hobby. "Follow your passion," they said. "It will be fulfilling," they said.

I had to take two anthropology courses for my major. One was the best course I had ever taken, and the other was the worst. The first was "Peace Studies," and we just read a whole bunch of Franz de Waal and Margaret Mead while talking about how Eskimos didn't have war, but instead murdered each other frequently. It was great!

The second was a general 101 course. The first lesson was on how race is a "social construct," while ethnicity wasn't, which seemed like pure semantics at best, and hypocrisy at worst. The last week before finals was spent entirely on rape culture instead of reviewing for the exam. It was the most ridiculous class I have ever taken.
