Comments: Dear Professor Hoopes,

My name is Bo Ernstson, a ph.d student in social anthropology, School of Global Studies, Gothenburg University, Sweden.

My project, which will be finished in a couple of months or so, is an outlook of the culture history of the south american indians seen from the perspective of Erland Nordenskiöld, his students, and friend Kaj Birket-Smith.

When this project is finished my plan will be to follow up some of the distribution studies presented by the Nordenskiöld school (or perhaps more rightly - a Scandinavian school of culture history) which focus on a cultural continuity between the Amazon area, Northern South America, and lower Central America. The thing which I would like get a clearer grip on is the relationships between Chibcha and Arawak. Nordenskiölds distribution maps visualize a cultural continuity over large areas - especially within the area of northwestern South America and Central America. (Karl-Gustav Izikowitz comparative study will be given priority in my future investigations).

Since Nordenskiöld, Birket-Smith, Kroeber and other american cultural anthropologists, anthropologists no longer care for culture history. Dough Jones article in American Anthropologist a couple of years a go showed that anthropologists are not willing to take part in the overall project of "deep-history".

We have, of course, Helms, Carneiro, Hornborg, Whitehead, Sherzer, and a couple of other anthropologists with a special interest in culture areas, culture history and evolution.

My intention is to continue and follow up the work of the Nordenskiöld/Scandinavian School.

I have read some of your work with great interest. I really like the way you (Cooke, Marcus& Flannery, Neves, modern archaeology if you will) handle the evolutionary process and culture history. The Dumbarton oaks publication on Chibcha and Gold is a real pleasure to read.

Yours

Bo Ernstson

Comments: Dear Mr John W. Hoopes
I only wanted to divert your attention to the existence of stone balls in Europe, just like those in Costa Rica.

Nice site and impressive work on our family! We are quite distant, probably 8th or 9th cousins. Just doing some research and stumbled onto your site.
Thanks!
