Dr Dibble Working on a Book

I am glad to hear that after the Joe Rogan podcast presentation in April last year and the subsequent hate-fest that he (and archaeology in general) was subjected to by the Yahoos that support Hancock's surmises and speculations about the past, Cardiff's Dr Flint Dibble is working on a book to set out the foundations of archaeology that hancock sweeps aside. It will be a welcome addition to the material in the public domanin to offset what Jimmy Corsetti, the "perfect stone vase guys" and all the metal detectorists with their spades are doing. I hope Dr Dibble will dissect the fluff over the "Ice Age Civilization - why not? You-ain't-excavated-everywhere model", examining the evidence without their cherry-picking. I hope it will lay out in clear terms using this aberrant alternatiuve model as a case study how we know what we know. I hope it the author will show what, in what we do (the methodologies of our research), equates to the scientific method - and how far that takes us; what in what the pseudies unreflexively do does not. Fingers crossed.
