Relative Dating in Archeology

[@DocReasonable]

"Relative dating" has a whole different meaning when it comes to creationists.

Also in Alabama

[@bokononbokomaru8156]

It means they're romancing their siblings & cousins...

[@maficside]

Without inbreeding there would be no creationists. Someone should make a law.

Does the United States constitution, the Bill of Rights or any of the Amendments include adopted people being SA, as incest? Or is that a technicality?

[@dianahill5116]

How does this apply to adopted people?

[@armenkhatchatrian8748]

Someone explain this to Graham Hancock please

[@ronalddepesa6221]

Hancock is such a hack. Of course it was Rogan who platformed him

[@simonwatson2399]

He doesn't care. All he's interested in is making money from his grift.

[@iivin4233]

Unfortunately the catch phrase of his ilk is "I want to believe" not "I want to learn". It's gone from being annoying, though, to being a part of a dangerous mentality.

ProfessorDave, someone needs to take your theme song and make it a fast metal/punk theme song or someothether genre and then you should randomly place it at the start of your videos. Just to mix things up. Keep up the good work.

For those that want to know: BP = Before Present

[@Velnio_Išpera]

BP is mostly before 1950 in radiocarbon dating.

Relative dating??? Wasn't that what caused the royal families in Europe to have some problems???

I'm a bioarchaeologist in the UK. Is serialization the US version of seriation? We use seriation over here! Love your work dude.

[@robchasing3140]

yep! This series is from a US archaeologist, so those terms are used. I worried about the differences between the two schools of thought but since this is just a precursory glance at the field I hoped the differences wouldn't be too severe.

[@TorqueBow]

I don’t know about this one Dave… i dont wanna date my relatives ….

[@calebcluff9904]

I thought I remember watching a video where you mentioned the website “Consensus AI” and I remember you saying that “no matter what you tell them a large amount of Americans think Covid came from a Chinese lab” and I was shocked to hear you infer that “doctors and scientists agree it was zootropic in origin” but just cause it’s zootropic doesn’t mean it couldn’t come from a lab, right? I mention this because congress reported it was a lab leak.

[@BIayne]

What evidence is there that Covid came from a lab leak?

[@JohnsJunk]

How do abandoned sites get buried after only a few thousand years under several feet of soil? In hilltop areas or flat fields. Build up, decay and compaction of seasonal organic growth and death?

[@robchasing3140]

soil actually builds up pretty quickly in temperate environments, commonly an inch or more per year. Especially in low lying areas where sediment is transported by runoff. A lot of archaeological sites on hilltops are much easier to find that ones in floodplains just because of the depth difference.

[@Vick_Lagina]

Imagine if someone dug up a site from today and found all sorts of weird products 100,00 years in the future. All they’d have to do is look at the manufactured date on the label! Science is easy!😊

[@iivin4233]

Those stone tools were placed there by God to confuse Graham Hancock.

[@Ocapela215]

Tubal Cain

[@syiridium703]

Nah, I think that people in that village used stone tools to make ancient batteries, then the aliens came and built the temple. Then there was a layer of sooth from ancient power plant to charge the batteries that were then used to charge spaceships. And finally, the aliens abducted everyone and left.

[@iivin4233]

You get self proclaimed machinists under those videos claiming that this or that artifact could not be made without machine tools. Anti-science people hide behind pebbles of real science, and it's remarkably effective shielding. There are Indian channels proposing ancient electrical devices, testing them in dubious experiments. The lies really are making it half way around the world before the truth has gotten its boots on. In my opinion, it's not a laughing matter anymore--though I still laugh at it sometimes.

[@AlbertaGeek]

Found Graham Hancock's sockpuppet account! :)

[@syiridium703]

@AlbertaGeek Excuse me? Do you see any mention of advanced ancient civilization? I'm clearly talking about aliens. Even a simpleton should have deduced that I work for the History channel.

My guess is Dave is putting out these videos to prepare the ground for a later pillory of Graham Hancock.

What about trash? If someone dug a hole to throw trash into, stratigraphy would suggest it's older than it really is, right?

[@simonwatson2399]

No, because you could see the cut hole edges when digging.

[@dogwalker666]

Watch time team!

[@postholer]

Good question ^^ but if someone at some point dug a hole, they did it starting from the layer they were standing on. Later layers will be on top of the opening. And technically we not only count fillings as one layer but the interface as well, since the filling must be younger than the hole itself. If you want the really fancy details: the common documentation technique "Harris Matrix" can help understanding it ^^

[@satch500]

When excavating a trained eye can see the difference between a cut layer and fill layer. If someone dug a hole through older contexts, you can see the edges of the hole and you would record that in your drawings and harris matrix.
