Flint Dibble is an American archaeologist and science communicator, whose research focuses on foodways in ancient Greece, and whose science communication promotes the field of archaeology and debunks pseudoarchaeology. He teaches at Cardiff University, where he is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow leading the ZOOCRETE project. He is the son of archaeologist Harold L. Dibble.
He debated author and promoter of pseudoarchaeology Graham Hancock on The Joe Rogan Experience, and he produces an archaeology focused YouTube channel.[1][2][3][4]
Education
Dibble received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. In 2010, he received an M.A. in Classical Archaeology from University of Cincinnati. He did postgraduate work at University of Sheffield, Department of Archaeology under Paul Halstead. He received his PhD in 2017 from University of Cincinnati.[5]
Dibble was a senior associate member of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.[5]
Archaeological work
His research touches on topics of urbanism, climate change, religious ritual, and everyday life. His current project, ZOOCRETE: The Zooarchaeology of Historical Crete: A Multiscalar Approach to Animals in Ancient Greece, combines archaeological, textual, and biomolecular evidence for the human management and consumption of animals.[5]
Fieldwork
In 2015, Dibble and Alison Fields uncovered a Mycenaean grave in Greece which was described as "among the most spectacular archaeological discoveries in Greece in more than half a century".[6]
Debating Graham Hancock
In 2024, Dibble appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast opposite Graham Hancock, who is a popular promotor of the pseudoarchaeological theory that there once existed an advanced Ice Age civilization that was destroyed in a global cataclysm, as popularized on Ancient Apocalypse, a 2022 documentary series produced by Netflix. Dibble had criticized Hancock on X/Twitter and was brought onto the podcast to debate Hancock. The episode lasted for four and a half hours.[4][7]
Archaeology Review published a review of the debate, finding that Hancock's assumptions were "remarkably short-sighted and ignorant", and that Dibble made a thorough job of reviewing the state of the evidence.[8]
Plans for an earlier debate in January 2023 had to be cancelled when Dibble was told his cancer had returned.[9]
