After winning a discussion with a student: "I'm into teaching for the power... and the free White-Out."
Talking about visiting another classroom: "If someone acted like that in my class I'd just beat him with a femur."
Describing why a study that would be used to evaluate prehistory civilizations in France was done in Alaska: "30,000 years ago France was more like Alaska is now. There was no Disneyland-France, no Eiffel Tower, no chocolate croissants. And if there's no chocolate croissants, why go on?" (gestures with back of hand on forehead)
Describing the techniques used in ethnoarchaeology: "We can use graduate students for sea lion bait. Graduate students will do anything for a letter of recommendation."
Holding up fertility goddess key chain for class to see, "Thank god plastic doesn't work."
On a career in archaeology: "Archaeology is a bitch for your back but then so is typing."
