Talk:Johan Kamminga

Notability

The du Cros book is the definitive text on the practice of archaeology in Australia and is clear on the importance of Kamminga's role in stone tool analysis. The documentary 'The Incredible Human Journey' in DVD and book form shows the importance of Kamminga's role in establishing the antiquity of human settlement in Australia. There do not seem to be online versions, but both can be purchased through Amazon. Garyvines (talk) 15:01, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

• I have removed the tags. However, none of these references can be checked. The fact that those references that can be checked mostly do not support the claims made, does not instil much confidence that the rest is accurate either... It is surprising that someone who has such an apparent prominent role in Australian archaeology is not the subject of more frequent coverage (archaeological stuff is often of interest for science journalists of major newspapers). --Randykitty (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

• some improvement suggestions - "search on JSTOR easily finds a bunch of book reviews, making him pass WP:AUTHOR. A search on Google Scholar shows that he is highly cited (especially for a low-citation density field like archaeology), making him pass WP:ACADEMIC#1. "
