Talk:Fort Ancient

message: As I was looking thru this article, and searching for stuff to spiff it up some, I found the website that the majority of the article was pasted over from. So I did some more research, sourced and cited, added sections on archaeology and social hierarchy, etc. I'd love to have a pic of Sunwatch village added, but it's one of the few place I haven't actually been and consequently don't have any of my own pics to add. If anyone has one they want to add that'd be great, just try to add it in so that the whole page still looks kinda pleasing(I've been editing some other pages lately just trying to make them look nicer and more interesting, I'm a professional visual artist and can't help myself, lolz). Any other pointers are also welcome!Heironymous Rowe (talk) 23:54, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I made multiple changes to the lead section, in an attempt to push towards a more "encyclopedic" tone, with less "may suggest that" (argumentative) and more "this culture is/this site shows" (statement of fact).  I'm new to this, so hope I made some improvements.  I also tried to improve the prose, and added a few specific details (to help someone new to the topic follow). Apologies for all the little edits in a row.
And, if I understand correctly, the Fort Ancient "culture" can be understand as:
* a community of people connected by cultural artifacts and physical sites (a concept of "cultural" beliefs, behavior, and perhaps shared DNA/ancestry)
* a collection of artifacts and sites used as evidence to connect a people (a concept of sorting)
I know this isn't a place to have a general discussion; but I did have trouble (as a novice) following the ideas without quite understanding how the concept of "archaeological culture" is somewhat distinct from "culture" in other senses; meaning, as an "organizing concept" for archaeology.  And how "evidence suggests" in this field might be a valid interpretation (pre-historic fact-finding involves theories)? not necessarily just "evidence shows conclusively"?  But I'm not an expert.
I also wonder if counter theories need more weight? (Are there any?)  Or the intro (after lead) needs a little more background (or context clues) for the novice?
The map was super helpful (as were all the other similar maps on related pages). Yogabear2020 (talk) 04:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
