Flint is an ancient historian and archaeological scientist who has conducted field work and laboratory analyses around the Mediterranean region from Stone Age caves to Egyptian tombs to Roman cities.

Flint currently teaches at Cardiff University. He received his PhD in Classical Archaeology from the University of Cincinnati, lectured at Dartmouth College, and held a research position at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
Flint has experience sharing archaeology with diverse audiences around the world.
My bias is towards the academic consensus. I’m willing to go against it with very good evidence. But that is my first point of call to a framework to put the new evidence into
"what about me? i saw the fall of troy, wwv, i pushed boxes at the boston tea party, now i'm gonna die, in a dungeon... in cardiff!" i'd like to visit cardiff someday
Came here because of The Bridges Podcasts. I took one course in college taught by the late Prof Stuart Struever. It's difficult to find much on RU-vid about him, but he was well known here in Illinois and New Mexico.
You should ask the First Nation people about who and when. There are various sources of occupation prior to 100,000 years ago and one day the establishment won't be able to ignore this evidence. If you said there were people here 20,000 years ago a few decades ago you would have been laughed at. The greatest block to progress is the childish jealousy of many who bought themselves a diploma and despise those who get more attention than they. Their childish behavior sticks out like a lab in Wuhan.
If you edit out the last sentence related to covid, I'm happy to keep this comment. But im not going to host this sort of covid chit chat on this channel about archaeology
You could leverage your conection with destiney to get him to help you with audio/video setup. Its like bait for him and its something he knows a lot about. Audio handling by computers can be fairly sophisticated, having a tech do setup can ensure you sound as beautiful as bossible.
Good choice for the name. It does kinda put you in the spotlight , every pseudo scientist and miss informer talk about Big Archaeology. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
To be fair, world population in 79 CE (Pompeii destruction) less than 300 million. Today's population about 8 billion. I'm happy for you, congratulations! Great show!
@@FlintDibble I can't initiate threads for some reason. Just wanted to say that was bloody brilliant Flint! I'll be at the front every lecture with a few bits of Hagoromo chalk just in case I need to ingratiate myself 😆 Could you do a piece on Roman lead pollution in ice cores and anything we've found before the Romans. No need to even mention "you know what". It's splendid evidence for when mankind (nearly) industrialised until a certain carpenter with a penchant for hanging around the harbour to meet all those butch trawlermen lost us 2,000 years of progress. We'd be colonising the local stars by now! I thought Flint, for your Dad to name you Flint, considering what his specialty was, he must've been so very proud of you! When I named my kids I know how much thought I put into it (if you were a guy called Leslie, you would too!) and it struck me when you mentioned what he studied. Apologies for replying here mate, I can't initiate a fresh comment for some reason. Looking forward to the next one, meantime, I'm exploring your links. 🍻 Lechyd da Flint! 🤠
