J. Hutton Pulitzer: "Failed Blogger" Jason Colavito Wrong to Criticize Claims of Europeans in Medieval Arizona

6/7/2016

62 Comments

 
This week J. Hutton Pulitzer and Scott Wolter released their next commentary track on the 2012-2013 season of America Unearthed. It is the second in their series and the latest release from the pair’s new XpLrR partnership. It was, of course, more of the same conspiracy mongering, but Pulitzer’s Trumpian levels of blowhard ignorance make me feel embarrassed for Scott Wolter, and that takes some doing. This week’s commentary track covers S01E02 “Medieval Desert Mystery,” which I reviewed in 2012.
Pulitzer begins the latest podcast with a rant about how archaeologists aren’t really academically qualified to study the past because they have “a humanities degree,” which he says qualifies a person to become an archaeologist, an anthropologist, a pastor, a poet, a writer, etc. “Humanities degrees a lot of time aren’t subject to the scientific method,” Pulitzer said. I am not sure he understands how degrees work. At most schools, a bachelor’s degree contains a major, and these are not interchangeable. Some liberal arts colleges do not offer majors, and others don’t list them on their degrees but rather in their transcripts. However, regardless, (a) a major in archaeology is not the same as a major in poetry, and (b) a bachelor’s degree is not the same as a master’s or Ph.D., which are much more specific in their focus.
 
Regular readers will remember that the second episode of America Unearthed had Wolter examine a rock carved with runes in Arizona that allegedly was the grave marker for “Rough” Hurech, a fictional British person for whom the United Kingdom has no record. Despite confirmation from the relevant U.K. government offices that the show lied about there being records of Hurech, and despite expert analysis that the runes were incoherent fakes, and despite the confession of the hoaxer who carved them, Wolter maintains that “facts are facts” and the stone is legitimately medieval.
 
Wolter and Pulitzer commiserate over their mutual hatred of academics and their close-minded refusal to accept their claims. Pulitzer made a weird claim that when confronted with twenty confusing symbols, experts must concede that ambiguous “gibberish” (his words) could be real ancient writing because if only twelve of twenty symbols carved on a wall make sense, it’s unfair to call the whole inscription a fake.
 
Wolter is also upset that he has been called racist, and he says “this is one of their techniques” that academics and skeptics use to distract audiences from the “facts.” Pulitzer denies that racism is a real social problem, claiming it is “an academic word” used to make people “shut up.” Wolter, taking a page from Donald Trump, threatens violence against anyone who calls him racist. “The next person who calls me racist to my face, I’m not going to like what happens.”
 
Beyond this, Wolter also claims that “a woman” has driven a wedge between him and Henrik Williams, the runic scholar, arguing that personal disputes have prevented Williams from viewing Wolter’s claims objectively. Williams reviewed the “Rough Hurech” stone and determined that the inscription was modern, and he produced a paper about it. Wolter claims that “some debunker site” (that’s me!) “sprang” this on him unfairly and that “they wrote a blog saying what an idiot I am.” Pulitzer calls me “a failing blogger who writes horror fiction” and can’t correctly identify runes. I am not now nor have I ever claimed to be someone who can read runes. He specifically criticizes me for saying the runes looked like Latin letters. He’s making false claims about these sentences:
I’m not a runic expert, so I can’t read the text; nevertheless, at first glance the letters looked more like stylized Latin letters than the Northern European runic alphabets of Scandinavia (derived from Old Italic) I had seen before. This is because they are meant to be Anglo-Saxon runes, which look much more like Latin letters.
While Pulitzer rants about my review, Wolter chooses to consider research to be a personal affront to him, and he also chooses to conflate comments left on a blog post by readers with my own words. The article was not “sprung” on Wolter by me. It was reported, in Swedish, by Swedish Public Television, and Williams’ paper was published on the Uppsala University website in English before I ever wrote about it.
 
Wolter makes excuses for himself, claiming that he had nothing to do with the translation that America Unearthed commissioned from Mike Carr (Wolter says he does not know who translated the stone) but reiterating that the show “found” “Rough” Hurech in British records. I showed that the British have no such records through the expedience of simply asking for the records America Unearthed used. There were none. 

[Update: Henrik Williams informs me that records for a Peter de Hurech of 1200 do exist, though he was never named “Rough.” The 1984 edition of the A History of the County of Stafford lists him as a tenant of Philip de Kniver from the year 1200, as known from a deed of 1377, and suggests he might have been the Peter of Whittington active in the 1180s. According to the 1377 deed, he held the manor of Whittington during his life and passed it on to his heirs, who lived their until the 1500s, so it is entirely unlikely that he traveled to Arizona and died there in 1200. Now why was it that no one from America Unearthed ​knew where they supposedly got that information?]
 
“I stand behind the research we did,” Wolter said.
 
Pulitzer read my review of America Unearthed S01E02 but seems to have not understood it. He alleges that I tried to “prove” that the rune stone is “not old” because the site had been visited and documented in the 1980s. “Does that make this site not old?” he asks. Pulitzer asks whether the 1984 archaeological survey could have missed the stone. “And that’s what they use to say this is certainly a modern forgery, and to me that’s highly deceptive.” One explanation, and the one Williams found to be correct, is that they were carved after the 1980s. The lack of documentation for the runes in the 1980s doesn’t prove that they weren’t there, but it is suggestive. Pulitzer says that merely “documenting” the cave isn’t the same as having a full television crew there to videotape the damage that relic hunters did in digging up the site to reveal runes.
 
In my review I said that the lack of documentation was “almost certainly” proof they weren’t there—but not on my own accord! I cited that to archaeologist Steve Ross, who actually said this in the episode. In fact, Ross also disagreed with Wolter’s assessment, repeated here, that the rock was buried in 1984 and therefore invisible. Wolter and Pulitzer are mad at me for paraphrasing the actual episode in a review of it. The fault there lies with the producers, not with me, for allowing a non-fringe opinion to leak through.
 
“It’s like logic doesn’t matter,” Pulitzer said of the “later analysis” of the episode. Given that this later analysis is me and the Archaeological Fantasies blog, it’s not hard to figure out whom he’s talking about.
 
Running out of material to discuss about the episode, Pulitzer moves on to a different subject, arguing that archaeologists are trying to hide the truth by hiding evidence of diffusion under the category of “foreign goods” found in sites. Pulitzer says that the phrase is used by archaeologists to hide materials for which “there is no logical explanation.” I have no idea what he means about “foreign goods,” which generally refers to objects and materials not obtained in the local area.
 
Pulitzer also feels that carbon dating is unfair. “It’s probably not a valid way” to date a site, he said, because wood isn’t the same as stone. Clearly, Pulitzer doesn’t understand that archaeologists know that carbon dating can’t date stone directly. That’s why they tend to date organic material found beneath stone constructions, under the logic that newer material is unlikely to have been introduced underneath a preexisting foundation. Pulitzer introduces this argument because he wants to deny that the ancestral Puebloan peoples (Anasazi) lived when archaeologists said they do. Similarly, he dismisses dendrochronology as “counting the tree rings” without understanding anything about how those rings are fitted into a chronology based on patterns of wide and thin rings related to annual weather. For him it’s voodoo magic and something to scoff at as a humorous attempt to deny prehistoric European visitation. (Wolter, however, notes that it is a “scientific method.”)
 
Pulitzer says that archaeologists don’t want to admit that “Tucsonian white” (?) pottery dates to 800 CE because it would prove that Europeans colonized Arizona. “They’re basing it all on the Columbus myth!” he fumes, failing to recognize that no one has believed in “Columbus-first” since the 1830s.
 
Pulitzer says that “Tucsonian white” pottery—which I am not able to identify—was carbon dated to 800 CE but reassigned to 1300 CE because of Columbus, which makes no sense to me logically.  Is he referring to black-on-white pottery? Is he talking about the correction of radiocarbon dates?
 
Wolter then devotes part of the podcast to blasting the Smithsonian Institution for refusing to accept the Bat Creek Stone, and he rehearses various fringe history anti-Smithsonian conspiracies. He becomes quite angry: “This is the biggest fraud I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said, his voice becoming harsh. He starts to grow louder and angrier, sounding Trumpian in denunciation of “this corrupted attitude we have in archaeology today. It’s criminal in my opinion.”
 
Pulitzer next introduces a conspiracy theory by which he argues that murex (sea snail) shells used for making purple dye among the Phoenicians were found in Arizona mounds. He alleges that the Phoenicians brought the murex to Arizona and archaeologists are trying to hide it. He did not provide any references to this, and I was unable to find information, even among the fringe, of murex in Arizona. I can’t identify the origin of his claim, and Wolter, learning of it just now, declares it “evidence” of archaeological suppression. Pulitzer also claims that “ivory artifacts” have been uncovered in America, though he doesn’t say where. Ivory artifacts from Clovis-era sites (mammoth tusks) have been uncovered, and are widely reported. I think, though, he is referring to Victorian era reports like this one.
 
After this, Pulitzer returns to me again, saying that “some sci-fi writer out in the boondocks” is calling Wolter “racist” while I am in fact the actual racist for denying white people their accomplishments in colonizing America before Columbus. “No, this is your history!” Pulitzer says to his audience, assuming that they identify with the “your” in that sentence—seeing themselves as the Europeans making America great again. Wolter agrees that archaeologists are offensive to Native Americans by “telling them what their history is.” This is an ongoing conversation in archaeology, and a source of tension between scholars and native peoples who wish to control their own cultural heritage, but often do so in ways that reinforce traditional but not objectively true views. I couldn’t possibly do justice to the length conversation about cultural sensitivity and accommodation that you can find in the academic literature, and the arguments for and against challenging traditional narratives. Pulitzer, who knows nothing of this literature, says that modern scholars are worse than the Victorians because the Victorians “may have been racist, but at least they were intellectually honest most of the time.”
 
Honest racism. Now that’s a scientific standard Pulitzer can get behind!

I listened through the bit about "Tusconian white," and my best guess is that it's a badly garbled reference to Cibola White Ware. Assuming Pulitzer only heard about Cibola White Ware from someone, rather than reading about it, I can see why he might assume the word he was hearing was "Tusconian," especially if the story was set in Arizona. I'm not sure of any dating controversies re: Cibola White Ware, but 1300 CE is the largely accepted date for the tradition.

Its funny that JHP would mention "college degrees". About a week ago I tried to comment on the 'History Heretic' blog where I very politely stated that most scientists, contrary to his assertion, are always admitting that they are wrong when a better theory comes along.

I then pointed out that at least 'mainstream archaeologists' have spent 7-8 years in college studying the fundamentals of their field. I then asked him (again politely) what his historical and archaeological background and training included.

I didn't think the question was that bad, but the comment was never allowed to be posted. At the time, there were no other comments either.

I suspect now that there must have been many comments, mostly your readers, breaking his balls, and that somehow you put us up to it. So expect continuing vitriol.

Just a reminder, it’s less than 2 weeks to the official end of spring, being the point in time that JHP has promised his ‘white paper’ titled: “Multi discipline forensic history research group rewriting history of pre-Columbian contact in the Americas. A comprehensive report to rewrite the history of North America and the relation to pre-Columbus Trans Atlantic voyages.” As a further reminder this paper will be a: “....formal academic report and peer reviewed...”. As a further reminder it will be authored by: “Multiple PhDs.....Professors from: University of California, Berkley, University of Oregon, University of Wisconsin, Madison, South Dakota State University, Oklahoma State University, Pulitzer Prize Nominated Poet Laureate, ...Principal research scientists from Battelle Memorial Institute....”

The only two authors identified so far are James Scherz, UW, and Myron Paine, SDSU & OSU, both being emeritus, or in other words retired.

Just another reminder, his 200 page sword report has 80 pages copy and paste from a journal article of a PhD dissertation, another 20 pages of bibliography loaded with academic references, and text and references in the report itself as sourced from articles on academia.edu. All of the academic material in the sword report regarding Roman metallurgy actually proved the sword was and still is a fake, ironically.

Failed Blogger? Ironic considering SW an JHP couldn't keep trheir whack a doodle shows on the air.

A bachelor's degree, first 4 years, 120 units, is NOT a masters, another 120, narrower field, which comes 4 years later, and not a doctorate, eight years later, even narrower, subject of teaching or of science, or humanities. Holy cow. They should know that. But if they did, they would not be going on about it.

At least in California archeology is a science, as in an applied science using method and theory to come up with solutions. It is not a humanities major.

He may be confused because journalism is also considered an applied science, even though it is a division of mass communications, and is technically a hybrid of literature, but done with facts and editorials.

SW could claim to be a blogger. Ha.

JC is not a failed blogger. That doesn't make sense. It cannot be proven either way scientifically.

Why do these two even give a care what this blog says about them? It shows a genuine lack of tact to to harp on a blogger who does reviews. They must feel their shows don't have very good facts, so they have to go after those with different opinions in case they actually weed them out.

He does desperately want to be credited for more though.

I often wonder what our Founders would think of the First Amendment being used as a shield for idiots such as Wolter and Pulitzer/Philjaw to poison the well of knowledge with such bungling falsehoods, and all for pure profit.

That Wolter would double-down on the lies and misconceptions of his Arizona Desert Mystery is not surprising. He's currently double, triple and quadruple-downing on past lies in his current blog comments, insisting that he's peer reviewed, that Hooked X's as letter A's predate the KRS, and that the article highlighting Winchell's incompetence in regard to the paleoliths of Kansas is fake. Note to Bart on that last point... Wolter already had his nose rubbed in the lie that he continues to further in regard to the "fake" article. It was certainly no fake, and was revisited by its editor in the Kansas Anthropologist, Martin F. Hawley, who is very much alive.

I've always felt that some fringe theorists--particularly those whose theories are murky, ill-defined and ever-changing--don't particularly believe their own bullshit, even though they get genuinely offended when they're called out for it. They put so much time and effort into their imaginary narratives that to be dismissed so quickly and casually hurts their feelings. They don't necessarily want to be told their pet theory is true; they just want scholars and academics to say, "Hey, good job! You're smart and creative!" It must be frustrating to hear, instead, that they've overlooked a bunch of really obvious facts that make their hypotheses historically impossible.

At least, that's how I used to feel when I was about six, and my family never believed that stories I made up. And that's about the emotional level of the people we're talking about.

Scott, along with astute others, I have come to see the Dotted R as one of the best proofs that the KRS is not a modern forgery. How, indeed, would Olof or any other person possibly accused of hoaxing the artifact even know of the existence of a Dotted R, since it was apparently only recently discovered as a viable rune variant...unless I am mistaken. The Dotted R rises like cream to take its place of honor as one of the most important proofs to date that the stone document is what it purports to be...and the skeptics must now better respect this authentic runestone telling us about a short sketch of medieval European exploration and, apparently, attempted land up-taking.

Enemies of the KRS should not brace themselves, but rather instead prepare to make amends with this most American relic of old, and begin to acknowledge that the KRS was, IN FACT, "un-hoaxable" in the late 1800's American midwest, since no one was aware of a Dotted R being used during the general time-period of the KRS's discovery.

Good work on that one, Scott!

By the way, I notice from your last "Winchell" letter post in the blog heading (way above) that he thought the mysterious Lake With Two Skerries was Pelican Lake. As you know, Holand thought this lake was Cormorant Lake way, way, far north. The lake I have identified as this mysterious lake referenced in the inscription on the KRS, Davidson Lake, not only has two rocky islands presently, but if the water level were only about two feet higher back when this lake emptied into a series of lakes leading to the Chippewa River back in 1362 (nearly the same as today), the smaller of the present-day islands would disappear and the largest island today would become two islands, side-by-side. Also very oddly present as features on this small lake are two distinctive curving peninsulas. Could these possibly be shelters? Anyway, on the west bank of this lake is where the Erdahl Axe was found, and this lake is, in fact, about a day's actual travel away from Runestone Park. Bingo.

I'm not sure why Winchell focused on Pelican Lake, but Holand focused on Lake Cormorant because of his ill-defined King Magnus/Paul Knutsen notions--in association with stoneholes found way up there. Every time he heard about a new iron artifact or a new stonehole, he tried to make that location fit in with an across-land attempt to find the Lost Greenlanders. I think Robert Johnson and his daughter Janey Westin went along on that mythical adventure, too--kind of like following Haley's Coment, in their misguided book a few years ago. But, at least they believe in the KRS.

As far as David Kruger's recent attempt to run down the KRS, as a "Local Boy Does Bad," in his fairly new book, I think he will experience eventual shame for being so willing to throw Alex's history treasure into that sleepy hamlet's gutter. That home boy hoped to make a profit by ridiculing the KRS, and the region/people of the KRS, but all he did is go on public record as being an enemy to his home State's greatest historical artifact. Eventually, these naysayers will become sheepish and quiet, as the truth about the KRS's genuineness becomes more and more accepted.

By the way, Scott, I'm heartened to hear you say that we should take the date of the KRS at face value, even when considering possible Masonic numerology attached to the date, if that be the case.

Gunn,

Both Winchell and Holand, along with Bob Johnson and Janey Westin all fell into the trap of taking certain parts of the KRS inscription literally not realizing most of the message is actually allegory. Unless one has been initiated themselves, and realized the carver was also initiated into the Egyptian and Hebrew mysteries, they would never understand that trying to find the supposed "camp" or the “ten men red with blood and death” are exercises in futility. My paper on the "Ritual Code" has not been peer reviewed and is scheduled for publication on June 18 in the Rocky Mountain Mason. At that time I'll post a blog with the paper and explain the details of which parts of the inscription are to be taken literally and which are not.

Kruger’s book is a whole lot about nothing. His academic analysis of the cultural impact of the KRS sheds zero new light on the artifact. I attended his lecture at the U of M with a couple of Ohman Family members who were not very impressed when I had to correct him a couple of times on basic facts he had wrong. Only his peers found his “cultural impact” findings interesting and it was inappropriate to smugly intertwine his findings around his obvious belief the stone is a fake. His book will quickly fade into obscurity like so many others who tried their best to forward their negative beliefs without any facts to support them.

Why shouldn’t we take the “Year 1362” date at face value when it has been demonstrat

Harold Edwards had a wonderful insight in regard to Wolter that would be most apropos to this exchange John:

"How Mr. Wolter can deal with dotted R’s in a language he does not understand when he can barely deal with dotted I’s in one he can, I do not know."

In John's post above from comments under Wolter's blog, "Kensington Rune Stone: Theories Verses Facts" of Saturday, June 4, 2016, Wolter states:

"My paper on the "Ritual Code" has not been peer reviewed and is scheduled for publication on June 18 in the Rocky Mountain Mason."

Wait, WHAT??? What happened to:

Kensington Rune Stone Deception Disguised as "Scholarship"

Scott Wolter March 7, 2016 at 7:27 AM
"In any case, I presented my latest KRS research for the first time Saturday night and it was very well received. I'm almost done writing it up and will submit it for peer review to at two scholarly Masonic bodies."

The Unassuming Crown Jewel of Washington, D.C.

Scott Wolter May 5, 2016 at 8:22 AM
"I am also about to publish a lengthy paper about my discovery of the "Ritual Code" on the KRS."

It is currently being reviewed by Masonic scholars and will be published in a Masonic Journal later this month."

Scott Wolter May 22, 2016 at 5:37 PM
"My "Ritual Code" paper is currently being reviewed for publication in a scholarly Masonic journal in June."

So now we are going to be treated to a non peer reviewed article submitted a MAGAZINE.

Big surprise!

Wolter's complete lack of proper scientific methodology as applied to his fringe industry could never withstand academic peer review; that being submitting his work to a true scientific journal, affiliated with an academic institution with an editorial board of properly credentialed members with the necessary advanced degrees required for such work. His work cannot get passed Logic 101 to begin with. His conclusions are assumed within the premises and his findings manufactured entirely with confirmation bias. With no expertise in history, his dabbling within that realm fails completely whenever he ventures forth.

He is actively misleading his ignorant followers through equivocation in regard to his interpretation of "peer review", which he defines for them in an utterly disingenuous manner. That he continues to do this year after year after year despite being called out on it again and again, shows only that he must realize he doesn't measure up and never will. So he is left with creating a record of not "academic" fraud, as he often bemoans, just simply FRAUD.

Wolter issued a correction stating his coming June 18 "paper' in "Rocky Mountain Mason MAGAZINE", has been "peer" reviewed, blaming the error on an auto correct program.

Jerry Lutgen June 10, 2016 at 8:40 PM
""In a post yesterday you said your paper "has not been peered reviewed". I think you intended "has now been peer reviewed"".

Scott Wolter June 11, 2016 at 7:01 AM
"Jerry,
You're quite right. Auto correct changed "now" to "not", here's the corrected comment I had for Gunn.
.... My paper on the "Ritual Code" has now been peer reviewed and is scheduled for publication on June 18 in the Rocky Mountain Mason. ..."

Can't help but wonder how he defines "peer reviewed" in this instance.

Some of Wolter's past attempts at claiming he was peer reviewed were highly comical in nature. He once claimed he was beyond peer review because he abided by industry standards for building materials. Also because he testifies in court, what he says must be true. One time he made the mistake of posting rough drafts of his earlier KRS work where associates (including Alice Kehoe and Professor Henrik Williams) either provided him with written suggestions or wrote their notes directly on his manuscript. Wolter had the audacity... or stupidity, if you will... to call this "peer review" despite the fact that his reviewers more often than not disagreed with his assertions; which Wolter IGNORED for his final draft.

I suppose if you wished to find true peers of Wolter, you'd have to look to other poseurs from the world of entertainment who are wholly unqualified to pontificate as to matters which should pertain to education. Though I'm certain we could all imagine countless individuals that would qualify in such low regard, if you give it more thought in the opposite direction, Big Bird would surpass Wolter as beyond reproach in both act and intent.

The following is a site to help guide the review process....Masons are a very sharp group of men, and , will not promote anything that is not properly researched, besides , the Masons would tell you straight up "we are not academics by profession" a university archeology or history department should review this "paper" by SW.

It is my hope that Professor Williams will seek legal representation in the United States and file a lawsuit for defamation against Wolter for his baseless, careless, negligent, false and malicious accusations he continues to publish on his blog.

Scott Wolter doesn’t have the temperament to deal with anyone who disagrees with him and is tormented by those who counter his so-called evidence. He has no support from credible researchers and he is trying to get attention any way he can.

Sometimes I wonder what will actually lead to Wolter's career downfall, or at least a fall from grace in his fans eyes...

Christ was/is fully human, described as having the same temptations as all humans, and I honestly have never considered that part of any Templar treasure would be His physical remains. My belief system doesn't even allow for a bizarre scene involving Christ's bones in a box, since I also believe many witnesses saw Him after His resurrection...several hundred people saw Him ascend into the sky. His physical body went straight up out of this world, so His bones are gone from earth in that conversion. We will all undergo this conversion, when our spirits are separated from our bodies.

This is not a radical approach. Most Christians believe this, and I seriously question whether rank-and-file Crusaders thought their "cause to the death" involved a Savior's bones rather than a risen Savior. We need to remember that Christ was conceived immaculately, and this Model would not become carnal in the sense of sexual relations. He was conceived outside the usual manner of human conception, and He remained celibate, is my belief.

I don't necessary doubt that some in the Templar leadership may have believed in a Jesus Bloodline, but to do so would have been very awkward...pretending to be Christians, but living the lives of hypocrites, not believing in a risen Savior.

So, is the soul of the Kensington Runestone at stake?

Mr. Colavito,it's a shame that stuff like this is taken with ANY degree of seriousness. It would be great if there were proof for any of this stuff,but there isn't. Stuff like this would be found in novels,short stories,movies,or TV shows,not in real life. It might come one day,but right now,fiction is the ONLY place where this stuff will be found.
