My name is Nathanael Fosaaen. I've been a professional archaeologist since I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2012, and I received my M.A. From UT Knoxville in 2022. I've worked on and occasionally supervised archaeological excavations from Alaska to Ireland, but most of my work has been concentrated in the Southeast of the United States. Over the years I've become increasingly frustrated by the lack of attention that the accomplishments of Native American Peoples get in both the global academic community, and ESPECIALLY the general public. So, this channel is designed to provide anyone who is interested in archaeology an easy starting point for as many subjects as I can think of to provide.

Excavating Archaeological Sites in Dungeons and Dragons
This is gonna be a weird one. I gave this presentation at the 80th meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference in Williamsburg VA this fall. It covers a system I designed for a group of players to excavate archaeological sites within the Dungeons and Dragons world, so that instead of the Dungeon Master just telling players lore based on dice rolls, the players have to uncover evidence and interpret it to figure out lore on their own.

This is a summary of a paper that had a lot of influence on the theoretical frameworks I use to interpret archaeological sites, as much for what it does right as for what I think it does very wrong. That's ok. Sometimes working through unfounded lines of evidence will guide you in a good direction. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan.

Ignoring the bandit in favour of 30 minutes focusing on some briefly mentioned rocks is such a relatable d&d experience.
A very interesting area that doesn't get much coverage. Thanks for doing it
You're definitely my favorite biker dude! Archaeologist😅😅😅
Great material, thank you.
The university's destroy brilliant minds!! This is more fake science my 7-year-old daughter knows better than this bologna
People who lack education have a reason to believe it's a scam they avoided, when the truth is it's an achievement they failed to acomplish. Get learnt.
I had the same thought about these PPO being game pieces.
Just because a population might reach another area of the world doesn't mean they gained a foothold, increased in number, and spread across the continent. As few as one party from Europe would be all that's necessary to pass a culture on to an already existing population in the Americas. The fact that the majority of clovis points are found in the northeast and then spread westward indicates a more than likely Eastern origin. Perhaps a later discovery of projectile points made with material from Europe could finally link Solutrean with Clovis.
For a pioneer culture to completely upend the technological base of a local population and not have sex with anyone is laughable. No such thing has ever happened, especially not in antiquity.
DUDE keep up the good work! This is the only dalton culture video on the whole site🙏 still looking for my clovis but daltons will always have my heart, first paleo point🫡
I realize you’re just commenting and you seem nice enough, but this is a TV SHOW not a classroom. OF COURSE some thing’s are dramatized. I had a family member who was interviewed by the HISTORY channel for a documentary and they wanted him to lie and stretch and put words in his mouth. He refused and so was used very little in the actual show, but this is how these shows work. You think anyone would watch if it was 100% textbook/classroom lecture? You all should applaud Graham for bringing more people into the field, honestly, because what other archeologist has a show on Netflix?? 😂
Nathanael, this was/is absolutely brilliant. What an amazing example of cross-pollination of ideas! Congratulations!
I agree that there was NO TRANSATLANTIC TRADE!!!! copper is very heavy and difficult to transport over land without the invetions of draft animals, the wheel or wagons. If? If this ever did happen? Where are the carts with wheels or draft animals? The only domesticated animals that natives had were dogs. Also if copper trade was going on with other parts of the world, where is the DNA evidence? Surely all humans breed with each other and their would be genetic markers to prove that two different groups were breeding. My examples: american slave owners and slaves, soldiers breeding with their enemies...ect. history has proven this cross-breeding of humans everywhere! Great video😃👍
You need alcoholic anonymous 😂😂
Are you still drunk 😂😂
Hey Nathanael, I have enjoyed your channel for a long time. As a child of the Tennessee River Valley in North Alabama , I am very familiar with our general understanding of the peoples of the pre-contact Southeast. I enjoyed your explanation of your work in my homeland. I currently live in North Georgia. Your rant episodes , I especially enjoy. Passionate truth is always a logical breath mint. So much of the popular belief about native people and their material culture, social structures, ect. are biased by a modern romantic cultural view. I would enjoy an episode on common myths and the truth revealed from archaeological evidence. Some food for thought... the prevalence of American Bison as a food source in the Eastern US, or not? The Use of quartz crystals as a status item, or religious items in the archaeological record versus contemporary pan-indian beliefs. Thank you for your work. I enjoy the channel.
You've been studying hard it looks like
Some authors assert it was the people known as the Phoenicians and the tribes of Israel (The ancient city state and the tribes that separated from Judea) who did the mining.
And they are incorrect for the reasons I explain in this video.
If your so good hbu get out of your computer room and stop suckin down all that booze and go start your own history channel show.
It's a tv show dude. As far as arsinical bronze thing who gives a shit if he fucked that up he's a tv show host doing a job the best he can. He is basically an investigative journalist with a geological degree. You can actually test a metal for its elemental composition using several different methods. One was developed by the United States military and aerospace agencies. It uses a lazzer. Sounds to me like you are just made dude had a show doing cool shit going to cool places like America's stone hinge. You need to stop throwing shade and trolling other people because you are unhappy with your own life and burying your sorrows in a bottle of whiskey. Some people I swear
Note that Russell Cave has cane torch stoke marks deep inside, especially if you go from the main entrance toward the Pig entrance, although they haven't been dated. A neighboring cave has even more deep cave torch material.
More layman terms
Google it.
I open my eyes when you found the crystal bolt. The scar bowl made out of his skull and in Duncan Freemasonry book it was them killing the Indians. They sacrificed them and performed witchcraft. That’s what that is and you found where they did it. I don’t know about all these bones you found but they could’ve faked that just too much of a coincidence. God will deal with them

I disagree. They were farmers and they were sacrificed.
It’s Dunkins laws of Freemasonry. That’s the one that talks about how they had a ritual with the skull.
Could they have been farmers and what is a band of Indians? The only people I ever heard say that was our government and the Egyptians in the Bible a band farmers band
Farming wasn't practiced at Poverty Point. It was present at sites like Pinson Mounds and everything after though.
Women in tribes did play a lot a huge role and they nurtured they knew have a nurture the men in the people in their drive and I think that’s amazing. I don’t think there’s nothing and savage about that.
They had to know astrology because on certain full moons and things are rocky changed lighting on the picture on the rock that I’m seeing and when I look into some of the Ohio Flint, I can actually feel like the ground on the stone is actually I can go into see it clearly I don’t know how to explain thisand you probably think I’m crazy so I’ll shut up and listen. I’m trying to learn what I wanna know. I’m sorry I’m gonna make sense. I’m sorry.utube I think the timelines mixed I think they’re mixing artifacts so we don’t know what went on there. It might be staging some of these because they don’t want us to know what they did, but if they did some kind of witchcraft spiritual thing, and that might be why I can read it in the stone .

Once I thought I wanted to be an archaeologist when I grow up and I started digging something just told me to start digging and searching, and I was digging, and I got a really dirty feelings spiritually, and then I thought about all the graves and all the people that were here before us and died dead man’s bones in there all of it so I quit digging because I really felt like a dirty feeling I would feeling something just pick up a rock and look at it I found, and I can see what happened there and I see A very sad picture. Then I found out the Indians made pictures in the rock and I have found a few of those, but this is a spiritual picture, but I’m seeing in that Flint in the Ohio Flint people. A lot of them are white. They are not American Indians, and they change.
The tribe some of them had their own Flint how is that?
Is there any possibility that they could’ve faked the site?
Me I’m not professional, but I wanna know something and when I wanna know something I school myself and I’m a fast learner so please teach me
The Indians were farmers. Why did they leave that out?
Dust Cave was much earlier than farming.
@ no they’re finding out that there were farms everywhere and vary ancient times even in South America
@KarenOtte not in Alabama.
Where are all the artifacts of the Indians? That’s all they show is as stone tools they destroyed a major mound that was even carved lying aren’t they? They knew about this place and there was a whole nation of people here that they wiped out so the mass genocide story is probably the truth. The ground became 15° colder. They wiped out so many Indians at once and when you read the poetry and the library of Congressand very sad and if I would’ve known that they did that come here I wouldn’t come, but I was born here. Indian for some reason I care about them very much sometimes when I look at their Ohio Flint and what I’m seeing in it, I cry dark.
Maybe they are hiding it
When they built the mouse house come the dirt had to be in from other places far away. I don’t understand what they were doing. The Aztec courtesies tell a lot about all this and I’m not real good at reading. Those the one really bothered me. It was like they were Conjuring some kind of spiritual beings or demons in their ritual or whatever what not I don’t understand. I’m not educated like you and I need help with those understanding them and I need help with what I’m seeing spiritually in these rock, especially the rock from Ohio and right in the Ohio valley in the places where they say that there were giants and things like that Show you some of the pieces I found. I thought the Indians were making that in the stone and then I realized that it seems like the rock is disturbed like something bad happened there and then when I started looking at what it was showing me it was almost like a photograph in this one stone. I feel like the Indians got this different kind of flint, especially Ohio flint
I live in the Ohio Valley. It seems like the rocks are disturbed. I collect flint and I can read the Ohio Flint. I guess that’s what you would say I can do when I look at it. I need your help. It seems like I have a neck for finding some very strange artifacts. It got to the point where I would just dig close to home in the yard searching for. they found two Aztec armor in Ohio to from two Warriors of Aztec. There were farmland in all kind of places all in South America and here in the United States. There was farming from long ago when I read the Bible Egypt never start from fam and they always had corn it one big Indian empire, and the Indians, their farmers and their sacrifices and they really mass genocide in Virginia that became 15° colder these because in that book I told you about and I wrote and sent a message on here that is one of the rituals in the book and something about Springwater drinking springwater from. I don’t know you know, how old was old because that could still be going on couldn’t it?
No, the kings and Queens and the poetry in the library of Congress from when they came over here is very dark very depressing
I know the pilgrims brought Roman masks, and if their wife would speak out of turn, they would make her wear that mask in front of the village and humiliate her to the pilgrims, and the Puritans were not such good people and I told you what was in that book that ritual I saw it
I would check every skull to make sure they were old !
Oh my God, there’s a Masonic ritual that they have to drink from a human skull !! Do you have the right dates
I am so glad I found this
I read the paper when it came out and found it lacking in several regards. Conflating deep cave activities with vestibule archaeology is problematic.
Well, it doesn't do that.
The comet strike drilled holes in the Lake Michigan lakebed and deposited A LOT of very pure copper and silver in and around Lake Supply. (Google Silver Islet in Lake Superior)
Overview Silver Islet refers to both a small rocky island and a small community located at the tip of the Sibley Peninsula in northwestern Ontario, Canada. A rich vein of pure silver was discovered on this small island in 1868 by the Montreal Mining Company. Wikipedia
Dear Nate, that is some very interesting evidence you have here. I only live around 30 miles from white sands,and was wondering if there was any other places around,that haven't been discovered yet.....? Ted
If they haven't been discovered yet, how would I know about them?
@NathanaelFosaaen Because I have found something once,and it's kinda like a long story,I'm not sure if you want to hear it and it might be just a piece of shale.
Oceans are highways not barriers.
Rivers are highways. Oceans are barriers until certain navigational and watercraft technologies are developed.
There’s some/lots of white people that hate! Calling Native Americans natives! They want to say “we’re all immigrants”. I do not believe these continents were with no humans and only Africa had the first humans. In Mexico there’s the story of Cynthia that found 250,00 year old human bones, but she was silenced.
A friend of mine has a piece of land 50-60 miles from dust cave and 75 miles from what i read as being "a cradle of civilization for native americans" as well as the "magic valley" and i believe ive found a plethora of stone tools at the base of a spring from a hillside and at the base of a bluff and adjacent to beautiful platforms halfway up the bluff. Its a tributary of "Indian Creek" and from there the Tennessee River. It may be an initial base for tool makin. Im hoping to get in touch with a professional eye so i can share some pics of the 100s of specimens ive found in this short stretch of creek bed. Especially before the layers are any more disturbed than theyve already been..i was never an artifact hunter of any sort but my eye peeked on a few rocks last year or two and its just exploded with possibilities since..i hope to hear from you or a local archaeologist 😀
Dr. Patty Jo Watson died in August 2024. R.I.P.
Stop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names. Bronze is made up of both copper & tin. The bronze age was based on the ancient tin mines in America. Without American tin, there'd be no European bronze. You sound like one of those idiots who refuses to believe in flying saucers. The ancient Europeans got their cocaine from South America & their tobacco from North America. We've known that for decades.
