Posted two very relevant book reviews today.
FINALLY published is the new revised third
edition of Stone
Artifacts of Texas! I also introduce
you to the Panhandle Archeological Society,
and their
new publication dedicated to two
important Texas archaeologists who passed
away in 2001. Click the links in the
sentence to be magically transported to the
relevant reviews. Both of these books (not
to mention the others in the review section)
would make great gifts! Click here
to see the latest Dirtbro
eBay listings-- unusual things for unusual
people!

Finally posted Part Two of Robert Turner's
excellent story of his backyard garden. This
segment is about the Romans and a great
read. Click here to
jump
to
the new page. I'll be adding a few more
pictures to the page, but the text is
complete. ENJOY!
Just put up a SIGNED copy of Bury My Heart
at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown
for sale on eBay... click here
...
a rare chance to own a signed copy of this
IMPORTANT book! Someone's going to snap this
one up, so check it out! (already have
one bid, this AM)
Do all of your holiday shopping with the
Dirtbrothers! I may even auction off some
of the only remaining stock of
t-shirts (less than 10 left). More
items posted for sale daily. Those
of you who have sent donated items THANKS,
but please do NOT send prehistoric items
to me... I will not sell any prehistoric items ...
they will be returned to you. My eBay name
is bob4676. If you win any of the auctions
and spend over $50, mention the
dirtbrothers in your invoice and I'll send
you a dirtbrothers bandanna--- that is
till I run out of them--> only a dozen
or so left. There will be no more printed!
If your total order is over
$150, you'll get a t-shirt, too.
More very soon! Bob

I've finally set up a Facebook page (look
for Bob Wishoff)--- I know you've been
bugging me to do this... not much there to
speak of right now... sign up as a friend!
I'm not using it much yet... there's too
much work for me to do here, on this
website!
I've posted a lot of new book reviews. If
you STILL have not visited this HUGE section
of the website, check it out! Lots of the
questions you send me can be answered by
reading a few good books!
Shop eBay,
HELP the Dirtbrothers and Get some cool
stuff!
I'm also trying to raise some funds for
tuition payback and this website's
maintenance--
if you eBay, check out my stuff...click here and
you'll find the unusual items I'm generally
putting up for sale. sometimes there's
nearly 100 auctions. Right now, I've got
some very rare books for sale---
Texas
History and Mayan books that go back to the
early 1900's.
Be sure to make me an offer on items that
have that option! I've got something for
everyone, so buy someone you care about a
great gift and help keep the Dirtbrothers
website alive. NO PREHISTORIC ARTIFACTS ARE
OFFERED FOR SALE!
On another note, we survived the Spicewood
fire here in Texas... whew... that was a
close one! However, much sorrow for the many
folks who lost their homes.
August 7, 2011
OK! I've been a little distracted lately...
the economy has hit me hard (as I'm sure it
did to many of my readers). Needless to say,
I've made promises aplenty about stories and
such I've planned to publish, but have not!
Well, I'm finally kind of dug out of my
financial hole (and some other hassles I'd
rather not burden you with), and can get
back to Dirtbrother business.
In truth, I
have a huge backlog of written materials to
share with y'all... be patient my friends
and it will appear here soon. In fact, the
always announced change to this site will
happen very soon!
MUCH THANKS
to all of you who keep urging me forward!
Bob

THE WAY:
Got a note the other day from TIM TAYLOR,
producer of the acclaimed UK archaeology
series TIME TEAM ... He notes that the
Time Team has a new video blog... it's
very cool... check it out here: timeteamdigital.com
Lots of
room to work and write in the new garage.
Here, Charles Swenson, Bob, and our
contractor/designer Todd Homerding chat,
write, and relax (photo by Chris R.L.

We don't often
promote links outside our site on the main
index, but Dr. Steve Black has produced a
fantastic article on the Texas Beyond
History website.
This article: Exploring
Burned
Rock Middens at Camp Bowie, is
perhaps
the most interesting
publication I've read online in ages. I
highly suggest
that all of you read
the article and send Dr. Black kudos for
it--- I, for one,
want to see more of
this kind of publication online
While you are there, be sure to peruse the
rest of the incredible Texas Beyond History
website!!
You might also be
interested in the Gault
School
website... we think this site will
prove to be the most inportant paleolithic
site in America! You can volunteer
to work here!

WE WANT YOUR
OPINION!
IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND
AGAINST THIS KIND OF CRAP
IT MAY BE LEGAL, BUT IS THIS
ETHICAL?
Let's "tell-it-like-it-is" and
stop working with people we do not respect!
ALL
Collectors' and Avocationals' reputations are at
risk!
