On the evening of December 5th, 2021, we lost a dear friend of the show & the Smoky Mountain Relic Room - David Dean. For over 65 years David did archaeological & paleontological work for institutions, government organizations, universities, & for himself. David was a Citizen Scientist, a person who collects and analysis data that is relative to a specific subject in collaboration with professional scientists. In this case paleontological and archaeological data.
Over the years David has done much to add to our understanding of the past. There are many vertebrate fossil species that were unknown to science until David came along and discovered them. There were prehistoric Native American sites that no one knew existed until David found them and recorded them. David also volunteered his time and knowledge to anyone that would ask for it. He was a great friend to us and the work that we are doing here at Chasing History. This episode chronicles some of the discoveries that he made, his life as well, and how you can get involved and become a citizen scientist yourself. We think that the greatest tribute to David's life would be to inspire others to pick up the flag and continue to further our knowledge of the past and become citizen scientists.
