Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.

Very cool!
Reading a history of the excavations at Troy as a boy led to my majoring in Atgnhropology undergrad.
Thought for sure I would unearth an ancient city some day...oh well...

You’re lucky, my university didn’t even *offer* Atgnhropology, and I was dying to major in it. ;’)

You’re lucky. My university didn’t even have that one in the catalog, or I’d have majored in it, too. Heh.
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

The night is young.
My spelling is likely to get progressively worse.
I'm still disappointed the world didn't end on Friday.

My university didn’t offer anthropology either and it was Troy University.
We did have a classics dept for a time, in fact Dr. Agnew was the smartest prof I ever had.
One time he showed the “Geography Club” of which I was a member, slides of Greece, Asia Minor, Crete etc. He had visited just about every place in the classic world.

We have an archaeological site somewhere around here ~ nobody's saying ~ that amounts to an ancient American Indian pottery barn and kiln ~ the estimates are that 20,000 people regularly lived in the immediate vicinity, so it was a major North American feature.
They made pottery according to a traditional design that ended up all over the East Coast and Midwest. Some time in the mid 1500s they swapped out the old designs and began making European style pottery!
All indications are the two types were made by the same folks from the same matrials ~ only the market had changed.
Like to note this operation was still running hot well into the 1600s ~ and in head to head competition with Jamestown.
It's not at all surprising the Trojans did the same thing.

they realised that both pre and post-war objects contained clay from exactly the same local sources, suggesting the same people were making the pots. Why would they conclude that if the same source of clay was used that it was the same people (tribe) using the clay source to make pottery?

The Romans believed they were descendants of the Trojans who escaped the destruction of Troy. Under Aeneas they traveled to Rome and were the seeds of the Roman Empire.
Does anyone know if there was even a shred of evidence to support that idea?
