I was reading the Wikipedia page on the Clovis culture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_culture) of ancient North America, as one does, when I came across a mention of the subsequent Folsom tradition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folsom_tradition). I'm used to streets in Boulder having Native American names like Arapaho, but I didn't realize that Folsom, which has our math department at the end of it, was such a street.
As you can read about at https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/2015/02/23/george-mcjunkin-and-the-discovery-that-changed-american-archaeology/, Folsom is the name of a New Mexico town where the first evidence of these people was found. The discovery was made by a George McJunkin, who was quite the Western character. In addition to a name that sounds classically Western to my ear, McJunkin was a Black cowboy who was born into slavery in Texas but went on to become a rancher, archaeologist, and historian.

I wonder if our neighbors over at #Palantir are turning off their computers...
