I saw Wolter on a show that predated his AU show. He was asked to use his geological knowledge and he did a good job without all the mumbo jumbo. Once they gave him his own show, he saw dollar signs and jumped multiple sharks.
There's a near-infinity of difference between the disciplines of geologist, archaeologist and paleontologist. Apparently Wolter doesn't know that or doesn't care -- dollar signs as you say. The show's unwatchable.
History Channel screws up a lot of these shows IMHO — the one about the search for precolumbian giants (which would normally get my ‘uh-boy’ award) clearly gets pulled this way and that by the producers. Obviously they should take a uniform approach to these sites, but they don’t, in order I guess to keep viewers from tuning out. So, when they should be using ground penetrating radar, instead they drill a hole that, best case scenario, will tell them nothing.
