As mentioned earlier there will be a congress on the Paleolithic part of Basque origins (loosely) that will be in the Auditorio FICOBA, Irun, Gipuzkoa, on March 18th. The so-called Atlantiar International Congress has the following contents (my translated synthesis, as I could only find the schedule in Spanish and Basque languages):
- 9:00 Documentation distribution
- 9:30 Presentation
- 9:45 Introduction of the Atlantiar project by Xabi Otero
- 10:00 Stephen Oppenheimer: The origin of man: ancient and modern humans, the exit from Africa and recolonization of Western Europe
- 10:45 Jean Clottes: Shamanism in the Paleolithic caves
- 11:30 (break)
- 11:45 Aude Labarge and Joëlle Darricau: The diversity of cultures of Upper Paleolithic based on the example of Isturitz
- 12:30 Bruce Bradley: Solutrean Solution: Origin of the population of North America in the Pleistocene
- 13:15 (main meal break)
- 15:00 Dennis Standford and Margaret Jodry: Evidence of a maritime Atlantic tradition between Europe and North America
- 15:45 José Antonio Mujica and Andoni Tarriño: The Western Pyrenees: a crossroads of Magdalenian routes: indications of mobility
- 16:30 Xabier Peñalver Praileaitz I in the Lower Magdalenian
- 17:00 (break)
- 17:15 Theo Vennemann: The Basque language substrate in Central Europe: an argumentation synthesis
- 18:00 Round table with the participation of Peter Bakker (linguist from Arhus University, Denmark), Javier Goitia (geographer, "archaeology of language") and Kleptin Stephen Agustine (curator of the Hull-Ottawa Museum of Civilizations, Mi'kmaq hereditary chieftain)
- 19:30 Closure with txalaparta
Organizing committee: Stepehen Oppenheimer, Xabier Otero, J.A. Muxika and Dennis Standford.
Disclaimer: I strongly disagree with even the presence of the Clovis-Solutrean hypothesis (it's a total nonsense), much less in such a prominent place. I believe it really damages the congress, which otherwise looks at least somewhat interesting.
