mac warzonescum said:What period of history are you originally from? Paleolithic? Bronze Age? Biblical times? The Dark Ages?
beergoth said:what does Paleolithic mean anyway?
jane said:Ahem, not geology so much as archaeology. 'Stone Age' refers to to material used by humans, and not geological processes: 'archaeological time' as opposed to geological time, if you will.
I could go on. Believe me, I could go on.
mac warzonescum said:Indeed, but note how I never made a claim that these were geological time frames, just that they would be known to any geologists that may use Eirecore.
jane said:Possibly they would, but they are not geological terms, they are archaeological ones, although I guess most geologists would be aware of them, sure. But they have little to do with the discipline of geology.
nooly said:here's a geological timescale... humans started in the very last part of that tiny little strip at the top left, in the quaternary (the last 2 million years). so there ya have it. humans = boring crap
mac warzonescum said:My point was that I am aware that there are geologists one this board, and that they would be acquainted with such terms, whereas to the best of my knowledge there are no archeologists on the board. Those attcking me for an imagined identification of the various sub-divisions in the archeological concept of the stone ages are fighting a strawman.
jane said:There are at least three archaeologists on Thumped/Eirecore, including me, and several others who have worked in archaeology. And those are just the ones I know of personally.
jane said:Jeeeeesus, if correcting information in a smart-arsed manner that is clearly not all that pissy at all, is considered an 'attack', well, then, let's all hold hands and be wrong.
