Dr. Michael B. Collins Interview! (4/20/18)

(WSD) WORLD SOLUTREAN DAY 
**EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!**

We are honored, on this sacred night, to welcome, Dr. Michael B. Collins!

He is a Research Professor in Anthropology at Texas State University in San Marcos and co-directs the world-renowned "Gault archaeological site" in Central Texas, where recent discoveries have changed most archaeologists’ thinking about America’s earliest inhabitants..

He has specialized in the study of lithic technology and worked with prehistoric collections from North, Central, and South America, as well as the Near East and South Western Europe. Dr. Collins has collaborated on the lithics research for the pre-Clovis site of "Monte Verde," Chile... The site that previous TRP guest & "pre-clovis trailblazer" Dr. Tom Dillehay spearheaded...

After excavating at the Gault site for several years, he purchased the site in 2007, with his own money, and donated it to the Archaeological Conservancy to ensure its protection. He also created the Gault School of Archaeological Research, a nonprofit organization that pursues research and education regarding the peopling of the Americas.

He is currently active in research on the earliest part of the American archaeological record and published Clovis Blade Technology and Clovis Stone Tool Technology. He in fact has his own very interesting "perspective" on the so-called "Clovis/Pre-Clovis debate." A debate that is far more complex than even most professionals realize!

Dr. Adrian Goldsworthy Interview! (4/2/18)

It is a true honor to welcome acclaimed historian, Dr. Adrian Goldsworthy, to TRP!

Enjoy this exclusive interview, where we discuss his newest in a long line of amazing books, Hadrian's Wall. (4/10/18 by Basic Books.)

Stretching eighty miles from coast to coast across northern England, Hadrian's Wall is the largest Roman artifact known today. It is commonly viewed as a defiant barrier, the end of the empire, a place where civilization stopped and barbarism began. In fact, the massive structure remains shrouded in mystery. Was the wall intended to keep out the Picts, who inhabited the North? Or was it merely a symbol of Roman power and wealth? What was life like for soldiers stationed along its expanse? How was the extraordinary structure built--with what technology, skills, and materials?

In Hadrian's Wall, Adrian Goldsworthy embarks on a historical and archaeological investigation, sifting fact from legend while simultaneously situating the wall in the wider scene of Roman Britain. The result is a concise and enthralling history of a great architectural marvel of the ancient world.
