I want know what life would have been like before the dawn of history. I want to know how one fitted in as a member of a community and of a family, female or male, young or old. I want to know how those people saw the world, how they thought, how they felt about things. In short, I want to know about those aspects of prehistory which archaeology is least able to tell us about. I approach this mainly through the study of reconstructed prehistoric languages, and what they suggest about the social organization of prehistoric societies, in the light of modern social anthropology. I try to do this objectively, neither projecting my hopes nor my fears onto the past.
In Studies in Linguistic
Paleontology, I plan to publish a series of books on this subject, and
perhaps on related matters such as the reconstruction of proto languages,
and the method and theory involved. These will mainly be my own research
results, though others with the same interests are also welcome to contribute
appropriate material.
Prehistoric Social Organization Before and After Agriculture: the lexically reconstructed story of Central Algonquian society, showing the transformation of a bilateral forager kindred into an agricultural patrilineal tribe in a resource rich natural environment.
