Archaeologists

Do we have any practicing Archaeologists, that are engaged in the North American field of study, on the Monster Muley forum?

I have a question. PM is you prefer.

Thank you.

He's Looking for the Treasure Chest!

Atta way Lumpy I love it

Thanks Longun.

Sorry boys, this has nothing to do with Fenn's treasure chest.

I've alway had a long fascination with the Eskimo people and have recently been looking at some of the larger boats they used back before they acquired modern water craft.



According information I've read it is 55 miles from the Siberian Coast to the Coast of Alaska, with a couple of small island in between.

Apparently there is strong consensus among the archeological community that people crossed the Bering Sea during the last ice age, when a corridor between Siberia and Alaska opened up, due to much of the ocean waters in the world being lock in glaciers, which made it possible for the Siberian people to walk across a land bridge, between the two continents. The timing of the migration is somewhat consistent with the age the very few bodies that have been discovered and dated to around 12,600 BC in North America, which is about when they think the land bridge was in place or a few thousand years after.

Also, it is apparent that Australia and the islands in the Pacific were populated by people using some kind of boats/watercraft to get from Europe, Asia or African to get there.

It seems that numerous migrations could have come across, by way of the ocean, through the narrow 55 mile Bering straight, on many different occasions. If other locations around the world, which are hundreds and even thousands of miles apart, were populated by way of boat/watercraft, it seems inconsistent that the Siberians did not.

As comfortable as the pre-modern Eskimo seemed to be with ocean travel, they would have naturally travel back and forth between the two land masses, long before and long afer the land bridge fromed during the ice age.



So my question is this:

Why, if every other location has been populated with people using boats/water craft, do archeologists believe that the Siberian/Eskimo "only" came by way of the land bridge and only came during that single period of time?

Thanks

Not all of them do...read info from Dennis Stanford..the Head duck at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. His book across atlanti9c ice is great...peopling to North America came from every where not just the Alaska land bridge..Archeological evidence is proving it...just a lot of High Brow Archy's only want their personal hypothesis to be recognized,,,and that's changing fast nowadays..

Don't know about Eskimos traveling across but in south pacific they were able to travel via boats to other islands due to knowing they were there.
The islanders monitored wave activity and studied it. By wave action they were able to determine if there was a island in a specific direction close enough for them to travel to.

as for Eskimos no idea how they would know they could cross it unless they just started paddling across.

"Hunting is where you prove yourself"

Thanks Longun, Mntman. I was just reading an article this morning about two crossing, one from Siberia to Alaska and back, and a second from Alaska to Siberbia. As I recall both groups walked across in the winter and had some issues with open water, caused by ocean currents, but they both made it. Others, in recent years have tried and died (drown).

I just find it hard to believe that, at 55 miles wide, with islands in between, it is hard to believe the only people who came from Siberia to North America, only came across at the time of the land bridge. I suspect there have been many, small group crossing, in both directions, on a pretty regular bases. Not large numbers but..... .some.

I will look to see if I can find any of Dennis Stanford's writings.

I wish I understood Genetic Science better, so I could understand what I'm reading about inter-continental human migration.

I found this article interesting:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...veal-ancestors-migrated-13-000-years-ago.html

It's been known for years that some Native Americans and Russians share ancestors, and new research claims to have confirmed this link by discovering they also share language traits.
Scientists from Georgetown University used a technique called linguistic phylogeny to discover a direct link between the Na-Dene family of languages in North America, and the Yeniseian languages of Central Siberia.
Their findings also revealed the migration of people from central Asia to North America around 13,000 years ago may not have been a one-way trip - with some people returning home to Siberia, taking their language back with them.

Thanks gentlemen.

Have you thought about asking Eel? He was around in those days.

eel's pretty sure I'm bat sh!t crazy.

Any registered democrat is as good as one.

A lot has been written over the years, but you're over thinking it. The first ones came by boat and those of us who get sea sick waited for the ice and walked.

If it wasn't for Pronghorn and Mule deer, I'd fly back to Siberia.

I hear the moose are in the 70's and the bear tape out at 11 square. You could adjust. What time does our plane leave?

Don't the Bible and Book of Mormon clearly explain all of this?
