Archaeologist Answers Archaeology Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

admin275 views



Archaeologist Andrew Kinkella, PhD joins WIRED to dig into the best archeology questions Twitter has to offer. Why have we seen an uptick in archeological discoveries lately? Where do archeologists decide to dig? Do they really only use those tiny little brushes to dust away debris? And why do archeologists all dress kind of the same? Dr. Kinkella answers these questions and more—it’s Archeology Support.

This guy has great energy!

>Graham Hancock's claims are baseless

Typical.

If carbon dating can only be applied to things that were once alive how do they date items like the Clovis point?

Pretty cool that he found artifacts in that bin.... Whenever I find those bins it's full of garbage 😂

"Now imagine that I go out in the parking lot and I *DIE*" haha so much enthusiasm, I'm thoroughly entertained :D

Paleontology and archaeology overlap in time, but archeologists are looking for human traces - refuse, buildings, graves, pets, roads artifacts etc.. Paleontologists look for traces of the natural environment, animals, plants, and microorganisms.

I don't understand why people get so defensive when Mesoamerican sacrifices come up... Yes, they did it, so what? Does that make them savages? Well... Just as much as burning thousands of women at stakes makes Europeans savages, I guess.

I'm really glad another white guy got another white guy job!
@J70a.m-zg6gi_wha0 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
I don't have to have a degree to know 1 archaeology is the study of what humans DID and 2 paleontology is the study of humans themselves. R E A D.

He's so upbeat and pleasant! He must be an enjoyable professor to have
@ccbee232 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
He's a wacky guy! I like him!

5:14 love this
@shontayann9773 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
@10:00 its also good to mention that each population are different. for example Thai men remains look more female and female Polynesian remains look more male. archaeological standards are very Eurocentric which does not help in modern archaeology.

an archaeology simulation game for kids, is missing
@kaneofnod January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
Next time ask a Prof that's not at a community college and actually doing research

5:10 More importantly: Carbon-14 is generated constantly in the Earth's atmosphere by cosmic rays hitting Nitrogen-14 atoms (our atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen after all). Some times, a Nitrogen-14 atom (7 protons, 7 neutrons) absorbs an electron, and then one of the protons turn into a neutron, turning the 7-protons 7-neutrons Nitrogen into a 6-protons, 8-neutrons Carbon atom. Carbon-14 with its slight 6/8 imbalance between protons and neutrons has a tendency to turn back into a 7/7 Nitrogen-14. It is radioactive and decays at a rate so that after 5730 years, half of all Carbon-14 atoms there were are turned back into Nitrogen-14.
As this happens in our atmosphere, green plants, which sequester atmospheric carbon into sugar, also sequester Carbon-14. As soon as the plant stops breathing, the Carbon-14 clock starts ticking, and Carbon-14 turns into Nitrogen-14, slowly depleting the Carbon-14 content. Animals which eat the green plant get their sugars with some rate of Carbon-14. Hence their tissue starts to have some Carbon-14 too, and as soon as the animal stops eating, the Carbon-14 clock starts ticking. Animals which hunt other animals also get some Carbon-14 etc.pp.. All what once was living matter starts to lose Carbon-14 as soon as it is no longer alive. Carbon-14 can only date objects which once breathed atmospheric Carbon.

Kinkella is the best professor ever!! Makes me happy to be back in school about archaeology! He’s hilarious and a ton of fun! I currently have him for Egyptology and Intro to Archaeology. Cannot wait for more of his classes!
@MossyMozart January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
This was made before the 23,000 year old footprints were discovered at White Sands in New Mexico. That's older than the ice-free corridor through the glacier. So, current thinking is the Asian migrants paddled along the coast. Makes a lot more sense.

this article was just in the wapo today check it out: New archaeology tools unearth lost cities and other ancient marvels. 🎉

I didn't buy the answer about Ancient Apocalypse.
@spacemanspiff6332 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
Gross bashing of Graham Hancock and the theory that actually has tons of evidence around it.
@kayd3380 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
yessss let's go kinkella! he's one of the reasons i pursued my passion in anthropology and got my degree!
@trietnguyen279 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
Dr who love this
@Diogofrn January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
As an archaeologist myself, I feel half of these questions should be asked to anthropologists, not archaeologists.
@jonathanfinan722 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
An ardicka?
@Pablo94370 January 25, 2025 - 4:06 pm
I was listening to this without watching and I had to check three separate times to make sure it wasn't a John Mulaney video.
