Archaeology Fantasies
Today's site from a dedicated archeology field worker offers a blog which
explores the myths and legends which frequently clutter the discipline. Gentle
Subscribers will discover a robust collection of reports on a variety of
compelling archeological themes.
"Where Archaeology and Reality Meet! ... debunking bad archaeology and
pseudoscience since 2007 ... [The] goal with this blog is to increase public
awareness of archaeology, debunking pseudo-archaeology, and make the field more
accessible to the public." - from the website
Beginning with the primary elements of archeology, the publication presents its
essential Concepts and Themes, covering Convergence,
Archaeoastronomy, Absence of Evidence, and Cult Science. Specific topics
chronicle Vikings, alien astronauts, and mysterious mound builders, while
continuing series include Who Discovered America and America Unearthed. A list
of the most popular articles appears in the right sidebar with The 10 Most
Not-So-Puzzling Ancient Artifacts and How Did the Easter Island Statues Get
There among others. Highlighting the blog are lively podcasts available at The
Archaeology Podcast Network.
