Civilized? Scholarly? This from the man who has repeatedly demonstrated his
unwillingness to even try to understand how archaeologists go about doing
their research. I have read every article you have cited, and have
responded with reasons why I didn't think the cases you cited represented
conclusive proof of contact. You in turn have repeatedly mischaracterized the
position of archaeologists who don't agree with you (claiming we're
isolationists who don't think contact was even possible), and have repeatedly
slagged about the term eurocentric when referring to people who don't agree
with you, and rarely have the integrity to admit when you were incorrect. And
now you complain that people aren't being civilized - amazing.
