“…In other Remote Oceanic islands such as Fiji and New Caledonia in the central Pacific, the founding populations at 1000 BC lived in paleo-seashores that should not be conflated with modern-day settings (Nunn and Heorake 2009), contrary to the continued practice of surface-guided archaeological surveys. In a more extreme case, the migration routes of the first people entering the Americas prior to 12,000 BC, during the last ice age, need to be reframed in their paleo-landscape parameters (e.g., Anderson and Bissett 2015;Clark, Mitrovica, and Alder 2014;Faught and Gusick 2011;Madsen 2015).…”

“…Sequencing mitochondrial genomes from pre-Columbian South American skeletons 8,600-500 BP indicates that a small population entered the Americas through a costal route 16,000 BP (Reich et al, 2016). This date comes close to the earliest archaeological evidence of a human presence on the North American continent: 13,000 BP (Anderson and Bissett, 2015).…”

This is an attempt to describe and explain so-called timbre-based music as a special system of musicking, communication, and psychological and social usage, which along with its corresponding beliefs constitutes a viable alternative to "frequency-based" music. Unfortunately, the current scientific research into music has been skewed almost entirely in favor of the frequency-based music prevalent in the West. Subsequently, whenever samples of timbre-based music attract the attention of Western researchers, these are usually interpreted as "defective" implementations of frequency-based music. The presence of discrete pitch is often regarded as the structural criterion that distinguishes music from non-music. We would like to present evidence to the contrary-in support of the existence of indigenous music systems based on the discretization and patterning of aspects of timbre, rather than pitch. This evidence comes mainly from extensive ethnographic research systematically conducted in eastern European and Asian parts of Russia from the 1890s. It involved the efforts of thousands of specialists and was coordinated by dozens of research institutions, and it has included not just ethnomusicology but linguistics, philology, organology, archaeology, anthropology, geography, and religious, and social studies. Much of the data has not been translated into Western languages. Although some Soviet-era publications were tainted by Marxist ideology, many researchers strove to provide accurate information (despite at times having been prosecuted for their work), and post-1990 research undertook a substantial revision of ideologically compromised concepts. Timbre-based tonal organization (TO) differs from that based on frequency in its personal orientation: musicking here occurs primarily for oneself and/or for close relatives/friends. Collective music-making is rare and exceptional. The foundation of timbre-based music seems to have vocal roots and rests on "personal song"-a system of personal identification through individualized patterns of rhythm, timbre, and pitch contour, utilized like a "human voice"-whose sound enables

Archaeologists in 2015 engaged with critical anthropological topics in our search to understand humanity's story, including conflict and cooperation, materiality, ritual, food, environment, and heritage. New shifts in both our theory and our approaches are emerging; lines between traditional publication outlets and gray literature have blurred; open-source publications are now available; and social networking sites, along with blogs, crowdfunding, and data-sharing sites, are changing archaeological practices. At the same time, political challenges to archaeology's
