What students love

Arkansas is a REALLY great example of collaboration between Native nations and archaeologists, especially with the Caddo and Quapaw. This kind of action doesn't come without a good relationship.

Last year you inspired me to visit the Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa, Aztalan State Park in Wisconsin, and Wicaḣapi in St. Paul, Minnesota. All were well worth the effort. Thank you.

Another Kinkella Teaches Archaeology video, another joyous ~20 minutes.

It’s very exciting to learn more about current archaeological research and discoveries like this. Thank you for taking the time to talk about these findings.

I like to learn from you.

The discovery coincides with the coexistence of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Could this system of symbols have emerged as an adaptive response for group cohesion or territorial demarcation?

Proving that we should have classes on critical thinking and logic.

Interesting!

It would be great to have a small bibliography to refer to in the description box below for further reading.

I would love to learn more about the scientific process and reasoning we use to determine whether or not certain carvings could have been made by early humans.
