   I've had an informal interest in experimental archaeology. If you say to   
   yourself "I'm here in this environment, how do I make a living?" some of   
   the theories of armchair archaeologists don't make sense.   
      
   The hard part is viewing the scene with fresh eyes. I know how to make a   
   figure 4 trap or deadfall. Do I have to assume Ogg never figured it out?   
   I've ground corn with a mano and metate. Can I assume an early human   
   wouldn't have figured out rubbing hard seeds between two rocks didn't make   
   them easier to eat?
