A Look at American Pseudoarchaeology
Posted: Wed Dec 11, 2019 6:16 am
I have not read any of these essays as yet, and I prefer not to be too judgemental, as I am interested in alternative nterpretations of the human past.
The most recent journal of the Society for American Archaeology(SAA), has devoted 27 pages to: “Pseudoarchaeology, Scholarship, and Popular Interests in the Past and Present”, with an emphasis on reactions to Graham Hancock's "America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization".
Chapter headings include:
“Introduction” – John W. Hoopes
“Y Not a Pacific Migration? Misunderstandings of Genetics in Service to Pseudoscience” – Jennifer A. Raff
“The Cerutti Mastodon, Professional Skepticism, and the Public” – Carl Feagans
“Whitewashing American Prehistory” – Jason Colavito
“The Mysterious Origins of Fringe” – John W. Hoopes
“America Before as a Paranormal Charter” – Jeb J. Card
“I Don’t Believe, I Know”: The Faith of Modern Pseudoarchaeology – David S. Anderson
