I am a person who everyday rediscovers myself and the world. As in past, today archaeology is
also an essential part of my social biography, but I would not say that it is more important than
others like teaching cultural anthropology, researching anthropology of everydayness, genealogy,
prehistoric anthropology of Eurasia, or our Bulgarian parties, art shows, the celebrations of the
living traditions in Salt Lake and many other events. On the whole the human society is an example
of the progress thanks to many micro- mezo- and macro-social groups, most of which do not have
access to funds for culture, but they are respected because of their honest behavior and
humanistic view on the world. I am proud to be a member of such formal and non-formal groups
believing that with every cell of my body I do communicate humanity. One of them is the World
Archaeological Congress - the fastest growing global organization of archaeologists and their
friends.
My archaeological research interest has been transformed from searching for the past itself in
searching for our ancestral past as an integral part of our everydayness. Then, I cannot be a
non-globalist and non-moralist - these were some of the most essential values of our distant
ancestors, who actually discovered the blood of our social life - how to live together, how to
reproduce ourselves as humans, how to develop as human society and possibly how to live in our
everydayness. Unfortunately, my distant researched unknown heroes (I all feel them as exceptional
and extraordinary personalities) did not need to record their lives, so we have only their material
culture. But in many cases the last is even more communicative than the written records, because
you can also feel it and the vision perception is incompatible in our understanding of the world.
Since April 2009 I have a precious gift - my students at the Art Institute of Salt lake City. Every
moment with my students is unforgettable and makes me feel that the future of the USA is in very
strong hands. To be committed to my students is my most serious and responsible project that I
have ever had.
I believe that the visitors of the websites of the International Institute of Anthropology, which I
founded in 2001 will find something worth for them, and if you want to contact me, you can just
