Guh. Feed me too much sloe gin (please! ha. ha!) and I will barf up more useless knoweldge about core tools and flakes and flint knapping and hafting and tying and don’t forget the mortars dug right into the ground, those are pretty cool, but mostly I could tell you how this one volcanic plume in Napa supplied most of the obsidian artifacts (esp. beads) you find from here to upstate NY. Trade and migration routes, trackable by soil science. Hoohah.

I’m glad you weren’t smushed like a, um, bug.
You know, if you opened the collar of your shirt another button or two, or maybe wore a blue sequin-y number with slits up to the hips, people would totally stop for you.

now that is using trigonometry, not pythagoras theorem. Pythagoras theorem only applies to right angled triangles.
