Oh, remember to check out the latest 4 Stone Hearth. This carnival of archaeology was posted at Our Cultural World last week, its 34th outing.
John Hawks has a post featured about Neandertal’s roaming habits, all determined from a tooth. Interesting archaeology, interesting anthropology, and just how can they tell all that from one tooth? Hawks’ blog has articles I’ll use in U.S. history, world history, psychology, and maybe economics. One of the best things about 4 Stone Hearth is the way it points to outstanding sources.

Also featured is an article about language development at a blog I only recently discovered, Not Exactly Rocket Science. It’s another blog worth watching.
