The beginning:

Overview of my lifetime in the field of archealogical research. My interest in the field began in high school, or at least that was the point that I could in retrospect identify as the beginning. It began with my high school major of General Science, and through various mentors and instructors who were interested in my field of research. I was guided into a focus on two specific fields, that of archealogy and palentology, both lumped under the field of history.

After reading and re-reading Darwin. I became disenchanted with Darwins theories, but was fascinated by the origin of man, specifically that of my own people the American Indians [the term Native American had not been coined in those early days] and Scots/Irish.

I suppose my imagination was ignited in my youth by my surroundings. I grew up during a period of transition from the old ways to the new. I was born at Ada the capitol of the Chickasaw Nation [just two blocks from the tribal council house] and first went to school at Post Oak Mission School at Fort Sill. This was the old Comanche Indian day school. I was fortunate to know the old people of the Comanche Nation. Those that were still alive and had rode with Quanah Parker.

By the time I was 12 years old I had lived on (8) Indian reservations.

After recovering from the initial infantil stumblings, in the early half of high school. I was able to narrow my research to a specific area. So I suppose you could say that my first ten years or so, were devoted to palentology.

I had yet to narrow it into a diffinitive exploration of the migration of man, but I was getting close. The southern end of the San Jouquin Valley in those days offered a plithera of material, permian to pleistocene. There was even the remains of a pleistocene lake still in existance in the western half of the valley. But it would prove to be many years before I would return to complete my research in this area.

As time passed I eventually conducted field surveys in 38 different countries, as team leader or as member of a team, recording numerous sites and features.

The timeline begins in Abt. Jul. of 1957.

Site location: Seven Sisters, NE of Bakersfield, California

It is Saturday, today I began work on a large mound NE of Oildale a suburb of Bakersfield. North of oilfield access road running east and west from North Chester Ln. I was able to date this site to between 80 - 60 million years (though some of the material such as; brachiapods, gastriopods, crynoids, etc. were present from the permian period which dates the site at 80 - 60 million, the majority of the site was much later). In late summer of 1957 - I uncovered the articulated backbone of prehistoric whale. But the most significate was the tooth of the Carcharodon Megalodon - Eocene shark.

This was a labor of love to the exclusion of friends and foes. I spent all of my spare time on this project.

Journal entry dated - Aug. 1957:

Site location: Bakersfield, California

Today, I read a book from the school library pertaining to: Darwin's Theory of Evolution; After reading it several times. I found I was in disagreement with his theory, in some respects. I feel, farther investigation is warranted in regards to American Indians, and their evolution and migration. Since reading this book, I have found that much of what is written is based on the Darwin Theory. I believe this will change in the future, with additional research.

Conducting research in the area of the "Seven Sisters," a series of folding permian intrusions of metamorphic shale with exposed diafrus overlay. With pockets of decomposed flura and fauna which has under pressure and time developed into petroleum products (oil). I have found fossil evidence of a possible Permian site. It is only logical, with the oil fields and all.

Great days; it's Sat. and I have found the site - I was able to wrangle the information out of a fellow student. He was able to tell me where he found a specimen of [black fossilized] sharks tooth [example of petroleum fossilization]. Will begin preliminary excavation this weekend.

Sept. 1957

Today I read a book from the school library, writen by a British Anthropologist; where he inferred that neandertal was a descendant of cro-magnon. Again I disagree - I feel that a more logical conclusion would be parallel evolution.

Have filled three - three pound folger coffee cans full of fossilized sharks teeth, dated 80+ million years. They measure from 5cm up to about 15cm. The largest, which I have presented to the Bakersfield Museum of Natural History, measures; 14.5cm X 11.25cm, black in color and is the jaw tooth of a pre-historic shark.

I am continuing to develop my therory of evolution and migration.

1960

Further developments only re-inforce my hypothesis of parallel evolution - perhaps even the exchange of genetic material!! Published works of narrow mind scientists only tend to frustrate me. I think in time archaeologists will find and finally admit that evidence found in "Southern France" will reveal evidence of material which will support my theories.
