And getting this information out, archaeology, as I've hinted at, and as you well know, is a discipline that requires a lot of interdisciplinary research and a lot of resources. But these sites are not easy to find either. Monty Berthie found me. I didn't find Monty Berthie. It came to me vis-a-vis this student. And a lot of sites are like that. Farmers and fishermen find sites and so forth.

But I think there needs to be, and I say that, more systematic archaeological survey and reconnaissance by archaeologists out across well-defined paleo landscapes. Because when we look out there at that landscape, as you alluded to earlier, that is very different in the past 12, 14, 15,000 years or more ago than it is today. And we need to learn that landscape and learn how to research it.

But, you know, times are exciting. There's more interdisciplinary data coming into view. Genetics is exciting. New techniques with LIDAR technology.

Yeah, exactly. And you get a better reading of what the landscape was like in addition to the archaeology. So I encourage young people to go into any discipline that relates to this theme or archaeology in general.

I enjoyed it a great deal. Thank you.
