Not saying this article qualifies, but I hope everybody keeps in mind that pop sci reporting on pre-historic finds and archaeology is particularly bad in a lot of cases. We attach a lot of romanticism and supposition to scant data about our forbears, and that's reflected in the reporting.
- finiteseries 6y agoLuckily the research papers behind the articles are always very readable—especially in archaeology—and very easily accessed through libgen or email. Researchers also use Twitter more and more, it’s not difficult to just skip the reporting entirely for the source in some areas!
