We talk a lot about human origins, so we thought this would be a good time time to do an overview of paleoanthropology, and the human evolutionary tree. In this first episode of the series we start with some of the oldest human ancestors including Sahelanthropus tchadensis and Ardipithecus ramidus.

Chelsea Colwell-Pasch has developed an awesome, powerful, and quick digging machine for archaeological prospection - aka, automated shovel testing! Well, not automated. You still need to run it. But, it’s fast and gentle on the artifacts. We talk to her about how she came up with the idea, using the device over the last few years, and the patenting process across multiple borders.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the lads sail themselves into the tempest that is the hoaxes, pseudoscience, and popular culture of Vikings in North America. We start off by going into the history and timing of the Viking Age and their settlements in Iceland, Greenland, and their short stay in Newfoundland. Then we get into hoaxes like the Vinland Map, the Kensington Rune Stone, and the recent nonsense of Vikings making their way up the Mississippi River and then to Oklahoma.

It’s a news episode again! This week we talk about a shipwreck from the 1800s that washed up on the shore in Massachusetts in the US. Then we head over to the other side of the world and see what was so important it had to be written on a comb. And finally, we look at some experimental archaeology that cracked some skulls with ancient stone tools.

We had some interviews fall through this week so we’re presenting you with an episode of The Archaeology Show. We think it’s mostly relevant but either way we hope you like it. Here’s the show description:
We're taking a deep dive on ancient writing on this episode! After talking about the recent deciphering of Linear Elamite on the last episode we just wanted more. We'll talk about what writing means and mention other undeciphered languages. In the last two segments we'll talk about first written scripts in China and Mesoamerica. And for members, we've got a cool bonus segment about a curious artifact found in Mexico in the 1990s.

Chris is sick this week and needs to let his voice rest so we are playing a really awesome episode of Archaeotech with Chris and his co-host Paul Zimmerman. Recently an article came out in CNN featuring the work that the team Paul is part of is doing in Iraq, so it was the perfect opportunity to talk about that article and play the episode that they recorded a couple months ago about how they use Magnetometry at Lagash.

Conferences have pretty much never changed in the archaeology world. We’re still doing the same things we’ve done for decades. Sure, the abstract station is gone and now there is often an app to see what’s up next, but, there’s a lot more that could be done to make the travel to the venue more “worth it”. On this episode we toss out a few ideas and a few crazy ideas for conference organizers to consider.

You would think that dating the Sphinx would be pretty easy, especially since the Sphinx’s face is that of an Old Kingdom pharaoh, and it’s right in front of an Old Kingdom pyramid. Simple man that I am, I’m going with Old Kingdom. But wait right there! What about the water erosion? Could the Sphinx actually be thousands of years older than previously thought? Does water erosion on the Sphinx expose a secret that Big Archaeology doesn’t want you to know? I’m guessing you know the answer to this one…

In this episode, Carlton goes rogue and does an episode by himself. No co-hosts, no guest, just Carlton letting out his thoughts. For episode 143, Carlton delves into People of the Americas, Clovis vs Pre-Clovis, and Pleistocene Megafauna extinctions. What starts off as a lecture in the first two segments definitely turns into a rant by the time he gets to talking about the “overkill” hypothesis. If you enjoy this type of podcast format, please be sure to email us and let us know; Carlton said he’d be happy to do episodes like this more often.

On today’s news episode we start with another Maya Kingdom found just sitting under some bushes in the jungle. OK, it’s a LOT of bushes. Then we move over to the UK and learn more about a skeleton that’s been in the University of Sheffield’s collection since the early 2000’s. Finally we talk about why the people of Miami keep letting developers dig up and pave over their most important cultural resources.

In order to begin to understand the symbols we see on the rocks and the people that made them we need to understand their environment. Carlos Gallinger has spent a lifetime studying the habits of the Bighorn Sheep in order to understand the people that live with, and off, off them. For example, it’s not feasible to take down a Bighorn sheep ten miles from your family. You need to be where the sheep are and understand them. Native people had this ability and Carlos wants to understand that ability.

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we delve into the post-Boas anthropological theorists. We begin with an overview of four of Boas’s most well known students: Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Edward Sapir and Alfred Kroeber. We then just focus on the history of archaeological theory beginning with the Culture Historical approach, New Archaeology, and the Post-Processual Critique.

There's some "mind-blowing" news in archaeology this week! We start with early hominids in Ethiopia using tools 500,000 years earlier than anything thought. Then we move to a possible 20,000 year old writing system in rock art. Finally, the oldest mummy ever found in Egypt was covered in gold! What else will they find there?

Though excavation is pretty much synonymous with archaeological fieldwork in the popular and professional imagination, the bulk of the work that we, as archaeologists, do is survey. In the decades that Chris and Paul have been doing archaeological survey we’ve seen great improvements in how they can be planned and carried out, in large part do to tech that’s more ubiquitous, robust, and cheaper than it was when we started. Today we discuss what we’ve already gained and what we hope the future brings.

Tonight we tackle the highly annoying idea of electric guitar “tonewood.” Does the wood that your electric guitar is made out of affect the sound? Many guitar manufacturers and guitar pros say yes, but science says no. You’ll never guess which side I’m on….
While this topic is more pseudoscience than pseudoarchaeology, I figure it counts because I have an electric guitar in my office on campus…

After we address that, we take a deep dive into a history of North American archaeological/anthropological thought and practice. This podcast is a little heavy but worth your listen!

We’re in Lake Havasu City, AZ this week so naturally we’re talking about the London Bridge! Did you know that one of the three stone versions of the bridge to exist in the last 1500 years is here in Arizona? We talk about this history of the bridge and what led to this version being moved to an Arizona tourist town that was literally built around it.

Have you ever had a big, angry mob of anonymous keyboard warriors tell you the same wrong thing over and over again? Where they typed the same foolishness so many times that you got tired of replying and decided to make a podcast about it instead? Maybe it’s just me.
On tonight’s episode, we explore the great non-debate of “Clovis First,” an idea that archaeologists let go of decades ago, but pseudoarchaeologists hold onto as tightly as the pearls that they clutch every time I point out that they are wrong. Enjoy!

On today's episode, Jessica hosts a conversation with Dr. Antoinette Jackson and Delande Justinavil about Black cemeteries. We talk about their work and how their efforts fit into larger efforts to learn more about and protect Black cemeteries. We talk about the importance of using a variety of methods and disciplines to understand this important topic, as well as the necessity of including living people and art to inform this work and speak to the general public. The discussion includes the importance of reframing away from the idea of Black cemeteries as “abandoned” and the many layered efforts necessary to protect Black cemeteries holistically.

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories! First up, after a 2 year hiatus, underwater excavations of the HMS Erebus have resumed with some amazing new findings. Next, we head over to Scandinavia where genetic studies of the ancient remains tell a new story about the movement of people in and out of the area in the Viking era. And finally, how Nazis 'whitewashed' a shaman's prehistoric remains.

Did you survive the Maya apocalypse of 2012? Are you still putting your life back together after the supervolcano covered your home in lava just before the Tsunami washed it away? Is your equilibrium still unequal after the close call with Planet X? Does the Earth’s gravity still feel “not quite right” in the years since?
The renegade few of us who survived need to stick together. Let’s analyze the fallout of that fateful day on the 10 year anniversary of December 21, 2012, a day that will be long remembered…for nothing at all!

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the three lads are joined by Dr. Jesse Tune and Dr. Shane Miller to review Episode 6 of Graham Hancock's new show: Ancient Apocalypse. Before recording this podcast, the five of us watched the show together, took notes, and immediately recorded this episode. We outline the show's narrative, the sites Graham covers to support the disproven theories he perpetuates, and the "data" used to support Graham's Ice Age civilization. This show wraps up by discussing our thoughts about the show and the implications of Grahamcock's latest attack on science, archaeology, and public interest of the past.

Was Pacal the Great actually “Pacal the Great…Astronaut?” Of course not! On today’s podcast, I destroy whatever good humor you may have acquired during the holidays by forcing you down into the muck of what is possibly The Single Dumbest Story in all of Pseudoarchaeology! I’m very sorry.

In this episode, Carlton interviews Dr. Jayne-Leigh Thomas, the Director of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act at Indiana University. We start with a conversation about their education and background in Anthropology and how they ended up with a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh. For the remainder of the episode, we delve into the mechanics of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), why it's still essential in the field three decades after being passed, and how the law has created more meaningful, inclusive and collaborative research in archaeology and museology. We close out the interview with a critical discussion regarding the upcoming NAGPRA revisions and their potential impact on Indigenous Communities and Tribal NAGPRA officers.

This week we happened to find 3 news stories about evidence for eating and cooking food in the ancient world. First up is the first evidence of Homo Erectus cooking fish 780,000 years ago. Then, we fast forward to 70,000 years ago and leftover evidence of a Neanderthal meal gives us insight into how they prepared food. And finally, in Rome new excavations under the coliseum reveal the kind of snacks that spectators would have enjoyed.
For our members, we have a bonus segment describing how one journalist attempted to recreate the Neanderthal meal that we discussed in segment 2!

Paul spent two months in Iraq this fall (2022). The first was working at Ur, in Iraq. The second was back to Lagash, just down the street. One of the things they did on this trip was a fresh magnetometry survey of the entire site. After catching up with Paul we talk about how that went and what the results showed them.

Peer review is defined as “a process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field”. Like the academic world, peer reviews in CRM are intended to ensure high quality research and to improve the quality of reports; they are also intended to ensure proper regulatory application and compliance. However, peer reviews are at times used for nefarious purposes' this is having a negative impact on the effectiveness of the process. Today’s podcast explores how peer reviews are being employed in CRM and what can be done to get back to the original intent.

The discovery of the Tomb of Pharoah Tutankhamun is one of the most celebrated discoveries in Egyptology and perhaps archaeology in general. This month is a significant anniversary of that discovery and we at The Flipside are privileged to be able to explore this topic with Dr. Daniela Rosenow and Prof. Richard Parkinson, who are both educators at the University of Oxford and custodians/researchers of the Griffith Archive. For those who are not already aware the Griffith Institute Archive is one of the most significant UK-based collections to explore the cultures of Ancient Egypt. In particular the Archive houses the complete excavation records including journals, reports, object cards, drawings and photographs of Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Working with these materials Dr. Rosenow and Prof. Parkinson have curated an exhibition entitled Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive, this provides an exceptional exploration of previously neglected aspects of the Archive and asks questions about how the Archive itself came to be and highlights the absence from the narrative of the Egyptian people. The discussion this month was truly exceptional and insightful and I for one am sure that it will influence my future practice and the way in which I think about archaeology. Links

In this episode, Carlton has a solo interview with Ashleigh Thompson, a Tribal Citizen of the Red Lake Ojibwe and Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology at the University of Arizona. The episode begins with Carlton asking about Ashleigh's background in Anthropology: where she went to school, what degrees she obtained, and how her multidisciplinary background has become advantageous in her work. We then dive into a discussion on Indigenous Archaeology and her experiences as an Indigenous scholar in the discipline of Anthropology. Then we round out the episode on Ashleigh's work with the Save History Campaign - an anti-looting and anti-vandalism campaign designed to educate the public on Cultural Resource protection. From their website, here's a quote: "SaveHistory.Org is a collaborative effort of Tribal organizations, archaeologists, federal and state law enforcement, and countless supporters dedicated to ending the theft and destruction of archaeological resources on Tribal and public lands."

CORRECTION: Graham Hancock wrote Fingerprints of the Gods NOT Chariots of the Gods which was written by Erich von Däniken. Our apologies for mixing up the two titles! The latest archaeological injustice from Graham Hancock is in the form of a brand new, and popular, Netflix series called Ancient Apocalypse. We talk about the eight-episode series, what we liked and what we didn't. Is Graham Hancock right? Is there evidence of an ancient civilization that lived during the last ice age that some how didn't make it through the ice age but did have time to reboot civilization in the people that were left? We'll see. Contact

Honestly, Carlton is writing this episode description the night before the episode releases and he completely forgot most of what we talked about. Generally, the three fill each other in on what they've been up to since September, why the APN went on hiatus in October, how Carlton is handling being a new professor (spoiler alert: he's still considering buying a boat and becoming a "Sea Person"), and the list of guests appearing on the show. This is definitely a laid-back episode with minimal archaeology, but it'll make you chuckle.

This week we get back to archaeology in the news and talk about 3 recent news stories. First, a high elevation, hard to reach archaeology site in Peru with llama rock art. Then, we head over to Italy where a cache of Etruscan bronzes has been discovered in a 2,300 year old spa. And finally, it’s the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, so of course we had to look at a few recent articles about that discovery!

The author of Dracula, Bram Stoker, like many of his peers and subsequent literary generations took significant inspiration from the more gruesome details of our histories, surprisingly this extends beyond folkloric influence to a core of archaeological examples, broadly referred to as 'deviant burials'. From actual exemplar of these 'victims' comes our tendency towards monster-making. This episode is inspired by the 125th Anniversary of the publishing of the standard vampire-literature text, the one everyone has heard of... Dracula, on 26th May 1897. How close is this text to a historical reality of the 'Vampire', reality I should clarify in regard to actual belief resulting in pre- and post- mortem persecutions of real people... people who were often othered and scapegoated to sooth the real everyday realities of fear... varying from disease, political control, war, famine, rebellion against societal normalcy. Joining me this episode is Dr. Sorcha Ni Fhlainn a senior lecturer in Film Studies and American Studies at the Manchester Metropolitan University, the puzzles presented by cultural media are endlessly fascinating and Dr. Ni Fhlainn is an expert at decoding them! NOTE: Keep your eyes (...and ears) peeled for an October Bonus Episode on Vampire Studies, the rest of this episode and reading recommendations for Spooky Season!

On today's episode, Jessica hosts Deniss Martinez (Tutunaku descendant), PhD candidate in Ecology at UC Davis. Deniss’ dissertation research focuses on Indigenous cultural burning, so we explore what cultural burning is, the diversity within cultural burning, how federal and state agencies can better collaborate with cultural burning practitioners, as well as how practitioners are facing the threat of climate change. Throughout the episode we talk about centering Indigenous voices and utilizing Community Based Participatory Research practices in the field of Ecology, as well as all the ways that culture and the land are inextricably linked.

Just a heads-up, this episode was recorded back in September before the APN went on a brief recording hiatus. Chris and Rachel deserved the time off. This episode was recorded after Carlton and David had watched episode 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Since then, the show has wrapped up. In this episode, Carlton and David try to talk about the archaeology of Middle Earth. But they soon realize that archaeology may be pointless since elves are immortal and are living history tomes. So they review the show, nerd out about Tolkien's Middle Earth, and Carlton discusses the dystopian futurism themes in Lord of the Rings.

On this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast Connor and David sit down with Matt Stirn, a professional archaeologist, photographer and journalist. After catching up, the podcast as usual begins with how Matt got into archaeology. And as you might’ve guessed, he’s involved with Wyoming archaeology, and got his start when he was only 13 years old. Matt ended up doing fieldwork in Colorado with Dr. Richard Adams in Colorado State University doing high altitude archaeology. He also was Connor‘s TA on his field school. Matt elaborates on his research and the importance of pinenuts two people living at high altitudes in Wyoming, and his masters thesis on predictive modeling regarding pine nuts and high altitude. We end the show with a conversation about Matt‘s current career and the state of archaeology. Matt took an interesting route becoming a journalist after becoming a scientist, and he discusses how that really benefits what he does now. Matt also gives advice to students looking to do something similar.

New York City has had a long and varied history. From the time of the Native Americans to the late 1800s when the boroughs were folded into the city limits many people, cultures, and events have left their mark. That mark leaves a material culture that has been excavated by teams of archaeologists over the last half-century or more. That artifact collection now has a home and as a result, this book was written to tell the story OF that collection. We bring on two of the four authors in this episode to talk about the book and the city. Nan A. Rothschild is an urban social archaeologist who was Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College and is adjunct professor at Columbia University. H. Arthur Bankoff is the advisor to the chair for archaeology at the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and is a professor emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.

Truly we are talking ancient history, since “Cladh Hallan: A Story in Several Parts” was episode 18, way back in 2018 when we still had no idea what we were doing and long before the content that was migrated to the APN feed. This may be the first time some longtime listeners (including you?) have heard this story, and we’ll round it out with some additional context for the subject matter.

On this episode Dr. Stefani Crabtree and Dr. Jennifer Dunne join us to discuss their recent paper on the new field of Archaeoecology. While it is often acknowledged that there is an overlap between the fields of archaeology and ecology, it has not been defined as a separate area of study until now. The study of Archaeoecology aims to show not only how humans impact nature, but also how the ecosystems they lived within shaped human culture and dynamics. **Coprolites were recovered nearby in Paisley Cave. Luther Cressman recovered sagebrush sandals from Fort Rock Cave, but noted that Paisley Cave was likely "one of the most important sites for Early [humans] in the whole West" where the coprolites were later recovered by Dennis Jenkins and his team.

On this episode of the podcast, Connor and David sit down and chat with veteran guests Drs. Jesse Tune and Shane Miller to discuss the recent LSE mounds paper. They first dive into how Jesse and Shane have been on the show multiple times, and that they always have an educated and constructive conversation. Beginning with an overview of Southeastern archaeology and mound history, they then dive into the mounds. The hosts and guests discuss how the paper was published by geologists in a journal that isn’t known for archaeology. They also discuss how the dating and geology in the paper is a little odd.

There have been an awful lot of news stories lately featuring “lost” sites or structures “revealed” by the effects of drought and climate change. Way to look on the positive side, I guess! We’ll take a look at some of these sites and more broadly, the effects of climate change on current archaeology. Both of your tired hosts were a bit punchy during recording, so this episode is ever so slightly goofy despite the gravity of the topic. But we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, Carlton is joined by Chance Ward, an M.A. student in Museum and Field Studies at CU Boulder and a Tribal Citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The two start the episode with a discussion on how Chance got into Anthropology at Fort Lewis College. We then delve into his post-undergrad career in CRM and working for the Southern Ute Tribe. Carlton investigates why Chance chose CU Boulder and they get into a dialogue about how Chance's grad school experiences have shaped the direction of his career. In the final segment, Carlton and Chance talk about their recent media experiences together such as being interviewed for a PBS documentary on horses and a conversation they had with Mel B's (Yes, the one from the Spice Girls) agent.

In the subfield of experimental archaeology, researchers use historic and pre-historic methods and materials to recreate different artifacts and items in the archaeological record. By doing this we learn how peoples of the past made the things we find during excavation, which adds to the context of the life people lived at that particular time period. This week we discuss 3 examples of experimental archaeology in the news including the boomerang as a multi-use tool, how large pots were created in Crete, and the reinterpretation of an artifact found at Sutton Hoo.

The Benin Bronzes have received media attention lately in a series of newsworthy announcements to repatriate them from various museums in North America and Europe to Nigeria.

We recently spent some time in Glacier National Park, and while we were there we took a tour of the park lead by Jack Gladstone, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. We were blown away by not only his cultural knowledge of the area, but also his amazing singing and songwriting! We just had to share (with Jack's permission of course!) some of the tour, plus some information on the prehistoric peoples of the area, the historic development of Glacier into a national park, and some of the recent archaeology they have found in the park.

This month Matilda focuses on the prehistory of Scotland, and specifically that enigmatic carved stone symbol known as the Pictish Beastie. Is it a dolphin? Is it an elephant? Is it a unicorn? To help uncover the mystery of this symbol and provide some background context about Pictish society is guest Hamish Findley Lamley, owner of Pictavia Leather. Join the journey to hear all about the different cultures in Scottish prehistory, the significance of standing stones, and why you would make a zebra-skin sporran. Links

On this episode, we are back with new content! We talk with Beth Potter, who is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Anthropology at the University of Kansas. We talk about Beth first's archaeological conference at age 13 and her experience there. Beth then describes her experience going to a small state-school called Harvard University. We delve into her experience in French Canada and what brought her there. She then deep dives into her scientific research and how one gets aDNA from stone tools.

On today's episode, Jessica interviews Dr. Kelly Fayard (Poarch Band of Creek Indians), Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Denver. Jessica and Kelly dive into Poarch identity from a variety of different angles. She discusses how different historic events influenced Poarch identity in sometimes unexpected ways and where the Poarch Creek fit in with larger conversations about Indigenous identity. We also talk about strategies for creating an inclusive and safe classroom, as well as the classroom approaches and good trouble needed to move the discipline of Anthropology forward.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins, we provide information about undergraduate and graduate school. We start off joking about our favorite episodes (all of them are our favorite) and then dive into things to consider when applying to undergraduate and graduate programs. We talk about our differing experiences in undergrad and the positives and negatives of each of our experiences. Importantly, we dive into how to research graduate programs, and factors surrounding how to choose a school are then discussed. We then wrap it up with other ridiculous conversations.

This week, Anna and Amber debut a new (occasional) series: Site-Seeing! There are so many archaeological sites out there, and some of them tend to overshadow others. In order to learn about and showcase some lesser-known sites, your hosts will each present a brief exploration of a site previously unknown to either of them. This time, we feature Djenné, an ancient city in what is today Mali, and Ban Chiang, in what is today Thailand. Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business?

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Maddy McAllister, a maritime archaeologist with the Museum of Tropical Queensland. Dr. McAllister is known for her educational Instagram account, @shipwreckmermaid. As Dr. McAllister is an Aussie, we naturally first have a conversation about the differences between our endemic wildlife and the hazards of working in the wild. This is followed by a discussion of how Dr. McAllister, and other underwater archaeologists, plan out their projects, record data, and conduct their research. We also have some salty discussions of sailing stories, shipwrecks, and other things that blow Connors and Carlton's minds. David was literally born on an island -he gets it.

This week we discuss three recent archaeology news articles. First up is the recent discovery of 12,000 year old human footprints in the salt flat of UT. Then, we head over to Israel where a Roman coin with a zodiac symbol on it was found under water. And finally, researchers believe they have deciphered the ancient Iranian script, Linear Elamite.

Dr. Ed Gonzalez-Tennant joins us again in Paul's absence to tell us about the site he's been working on for many years now: The Rosewood Cemetery in Florida. Situated on private land, the Rosewood cemetery is difficult to get to and difficult to maintain. Without some sort of official support it's likely to stay that way. Ed has been documenting the cemetery using a number of recording means. This work has culminated in the virtual Rosewood Cemetery. We talk about that process and the implications regarding virtual archaeology in the near future. Start your own podcast with Zencastr and get 30% off your first three months with code TAS.

Welcome to one of the creepiest nights of my life. Alone on a desert highway one evening in 1998, I decided to pull over into a deserted parking lot.

ENCORE: Something's afoot. There is, yet again, another controversial preclovis find. This time, away from the West Coast and in New Mexico. The controversy surrounds human footprints found in White Sands National Park that are dated between 23 and 21 kya. To discuss these possible pre-Clovis footprints, we invited Dr. Jesse Tune and Dr. Shane Miller on the show to contextualize the data. We begin with an open discussion about the recent published report and try to understand what the researches found at the site. We then chat about their controversy, how it’s hit the mainstream media, and what the ramifications of the repaint are for archaeology. The conversation then turns into a open dialogue about scientific biases, as well as the role of Indigenous oral traditions and their incorporation into scientific theories.

To wrap up our inaugural Summer Blockbuster series, Amber leads us on a mission to Pandora with Avatar (2009). Rather than exploration of the culture of the indigenous Na’vi population (or maybe in addition to), we’ll examine some of the philosophical underpinnings of the franchise and discuss the book that completely changed Amber's intellectual trajectory.

The trowel is generally considered to be the essential piece in any archaeologist's toolkit, but how long have trowels been around and what kinds of trowels can you use in excavations? In this episode, Matilda chats with professional archaeologist and blacksmith Dr Zechariah Jinks-Fredrick about why we choose the tools that we do, but also the development of metal tools and metalworking in the past. What's the difference between a cow bone and a trowel? Very little apparently... Links

On this episode, we are taking our first vacation. We are going to leave you with a classic episode of ours. Enjoy! On Episode 27 of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Robert L. Kelly. Dr. Kelly was all the cohosts thesis advisor at the University of Wyoming. Dr. Robert L. Kelly wrote the book, The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum, on hunter-gatherer archaeology and the mathematical proofs behind it. He was involved in early research at Gatecliff Rockshelter and then he continued on to influence archaeological theory for the rest of his career. He writes a regular textbook with Dr. David Hurst Thomas named “Archaeology” (latest edition). He has also written a book on the future of archaeology called The Fifth Beginning. We have a super interesting philosophical conversation about archaeology and its meaning. Bob recounts his early life and how he found his way out in the desert with David Hurst Thomas during his first days as an archaeologist. We then discuss his transition from Cornell to the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan, and have a lengthy discussion about his mentor, Lewis Binford and his eccentric life. The majority of the podcast however, is an in-depth conversation about anthropology, how the field has changed over the years, and what it means to be human.

We've all heard of "The Crystal Skulls," but this crystal skull in particular is near and dear to my heart.

In 210 BCE Qin Shi Huangdi, the self-proclaimed first emperor of China was laid to rest surrounded by a terra cotta version of his army and court. But what was going on at the same time in other places in the world? In this episode we talk about the terra cotta army in China. Then we move over to Europe/Northern Africa because the end of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage was coming to an end at the exact same time. Finally, we take a look at the one of the first unified empires in India, the Mauryan. Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business? Zencastr makes it really easy!

The Coso Range in the eastern Mojave Desert is a place we've talked about a lot. Now, Dr. Garfinkel, with help from two other researchers, is releasing a new book this fall about the pointed petroglyphs of the Coso range. He talks about what they look like, what they mean for our understanding of the area, and how they dated the images. Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business?

Welcome to a month of Summer Blockbusters, where we talk about the archaeology in movies that aren't Indiana Jones! This week, it's the 2021 film The Dig, starring Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. We'll talk a bit about the film, but mostly about the real site portrayed in it--the Anglo Saxon burial at Sutton Hoo. This site was key to rewriting the understanding of post-Roman Britain, and was especially meaningful as a symbol of English national identity during WWII.

News from the English Countryside is dominating the podcast today! We've got a 4,800 year old stone circle on top of a henge and two from Stonehenge. The first is about the parasites that the early builders of Stonehenge suffered from and the second is about ancient pits, lots of them, found in the area around Stonehenge. Those ancients really DID love their stones in circles! Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business? Zencastr makes it really easy! Click this message for more info.

Found in a shipwreck off the coast of Greece in 1901, the Antikythera Mechanism has been the subject of all sorts of claims, some outlandish, some simply false, and some true. Is this really the “World’s First Computer?” Is the technology needed to make it simply too advanced for the ancient Greeks? Join me as we sort it all out!

“The Sea Peoples” is a term that refers to a seafaring culture of unclear origin that bopped around the eastern Mediterranean and adjoining areas around 1200-900 BCE. There are ancient Egyptian murals and reliefs that depict battles against these unnamed adversaries, but no definitive labels or helpful texts. So who were the Sea Peoples? We’ll discuss some theories, and probably not reach any conclusions apart from “wow people really care a lot about this, huh?” Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business?

This week we interview Dr. Spencer Pelton, the Wyoming State Archaeologist, about his work on the Powers II red ochre quarry site. He recently co-authored a paper about that site, and in it they reveal that the dating results make the Powers Site potentially the oldest quarry site in North America. It's a fascinating and unique site and Dr. Pelton graciously shares his expertise on red ochre, how it was mined, and how it was potentially used by Paleoindian people in Wyoming.

Y'all, it has been a TOUGH WEEK. You can tell because Anna somehow manages to get the episode intro WRONG after doing it correctly nearly 200 times. But we're just gonna keep swimming! We couldn’t do a month-at-sea theme without talking about shipwrecks. And it’s not just pirate ships and the Titanic, either. We’ll discuss all kinds of underwater assemblages and the ways in which shipwreck archaeology helps us understand travel, life, commerce, connectivity, and more.

In this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast, Connor and David chat with Vincent Battista, a Postdoctoral Researcher specializing in genetics. Vincent got his PhD at the University of Michigan where he studied under Milford Wolpoff, who is also the teacher of Dr. Jim Ahern, Connor and David‘s biological anthropology teacher. Connor and David chat with Vincent about his Italian ancestry, and how that formulated his interest in culture and anthropology, and they later get into his early educational career in anthropology Like most episodes with PhD‘s, the conversation gets heavy discussing the quagmire that is academia and whether it is right for some people or not. We end with a discussion about Neanderthals, as Vincent is a wealth of knowledge the subject. Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business? Zencastr makes it really easy!

Archaeologists have been 3D scanning artifacts for a while now. But, what do you do with those scans? We post them on websites, use them in reports, and try to do some analysis, but, it's not consistent. This new paper from PLOS ONE is from the architects of a new software, Artifact 3D, that intends to take those scans and perform some high-level, detailed, analytical algorithms that are consistent and repeatable. We talk about it on this week's episode. Interested in learning about how to use X-Rays and similar technology in archaeology? Check out the linked PaleoImaging course from James Elliot!

On today's episode, Jessica interviews Dr. Clint Carroll, Associate Professor of Native American and Indigenous Studies in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ ᎡᎲᎢ (Cherokee Nation Citizen). Jessica and Clint discuss his interdisciplinary community based work with the Cherokee Nation. He describes how the history of colonialism has challenged Cherokee relationships with the land, but also how the Cherokee Nation has sustained or reformed relationships to the land despite that painful legacy. Finally, Clint describes his efforts in conjunction with the Cherokee Nation Medicine Keepers to continue to support Cherokee connections to the land in the face of climate change through technologies of care, education, land management policy, and access.

Carlton and Connor then pepper her with questions about her new book, "Pirates and Privateers from Long Island Sound to Delaware Bay" which was released in May 2022. She details the differences in pirating between the Chesapeake Bay and the more northern bays/sounds. She helps us understand pirates personal lives and tells us that they even got married. Carlton and Connor then keep asking her questions because they are nerds and love pirate history.

Terra nullius is a Latin phrase meaning “nobody’s land,” but historically it has tended to mean something closer to grabby hands. What does it mean when a place is considered no one’s? Are there still places where people aren’t? Are there places where we've never been? The answers may surprise you. Members, check out an extended edition of this episode here.

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Back to the mediaeval period, to see the earliest printing press or spinning wheel? To the Bronze Age, watching from the sidelines as a blacksmith hammers out a beautiful leaf -shaped blade? How about the early Neolithic, to learn how to knap that perfect stone hand axe? Or even all the way back to the Palaeolithic, to witness the creation of the earliest ever clay object? Well, you’re in luck! My name is Matilda Siebrecht and I will be hosting a brand-new monthly series called Tea-break Time Travel. Every episode I will be joined on my tea break by a guest with expert knowledge on a particular archaeological object. Together, we will travel back in time, discussing the object itself as well as the cultures and environments surrounding its creation and use. So plug in your headphones, grab your hot beverage of choice, and settle down for a journey back in time! Contact the Host

On this episode we bring back Dr. Devin Pettigrew to discuss a paper that came out in 2021. The name of that paper is "On the efficacy of Clovis fluted points for hunting proboscideans" by Eren et. al. Dr. Pettigrew is an experimental archaeologist and together we discuss the pitfalls/successes of this study. We really dive deep into the article and the data they are using to summarize their argument. Dr. Pettigrew also gives us a background in the ballistics of atlatls as well as information around the use of ballistics gel/ceramics to interpret penetration effectiveness. Dr. Pettigrew then tell us about some of his current research and things he is studying.

MEMBERS CHECK YOUR BONUS PAGE FOR A GREAT BONUS SEGMENT! We talk a lot about how to get archaeologists to learn more outside the field of archaeology in order to better understand archaeology. On this episode we talk to JD Calvelli from the University of Chicago's Center for Radical Innovation and Social Change (RISC) about gamifying the learning of data science. However, this isn't for adults; it's for 4th-6th graders! Adults are able to learn as well, though. Learn something new and do it in a fun way.

Welcome to episode one of our themed month: The Dirt at Sea! The oceans (and seas and lagoons and fjords and so on) have provided people with food and other resources for hundreds of thousands of years. We’ll be discussing some examples of this from the archaeological record. We’ll also investigate how archaeology can get at the relationship between people and the big blue – and it’s much more than just reconstructing ancient coastlines.

ENCORE: We recently had the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico. It was an incredible experience, but, being archaeologists, we of course came away with more questions than were answered! In this episode we give a brief overview Mayan civilization, including Chichen Itza, and then talk about our experience on an incredibly touristy tour! The take away is, do a little research ahead of time (like listening to this podcast!) to help prepare yourself before visiting the site! Links

There are surprising intersections between video game creation and archaeology, and that, of course, comes along with the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of mining ancient history for content creation. Neither Anna nor Amber really grew up playing video games, so we are extremely lucky to have a guest expert, Dr. Bill Farley, Associate Professor of Anthropology at South Connecticut State University.

On this episode of A Life in Ruins podcast, we have back on one of our favorite guests Dr. David S. Anderson. We start out with a huge announcement (listen to this episode, we will not spoil it here). We then hit the when, where, what and why of the Maya. Dr. Anderson explains how we know that the Maya city-states "collapsed" and also talks about issues with the ideas around the word "Collapse". We finish talking about Carlton's experience at Chichen Itza and cultural tourism as a whole.

An important component of scientific research is reproducibility. In other scientific fields like medicine, protocols (step-by-step instructions) help ensure that another lab or another researcher can test our results. Lately, protocols for various technical aspects of archaeological research have been published, so Chris and Paul discuss the value of these publications.

First used to describe religious movements that emerged in Melanesia following contact with Allied military personnel in World War II, cargo cults are sects and ritualized behaviors intended to summon outsiders (and their stuff) back and bring about a new age. We’ll explore theories for why they come about, discuss some examples of cargo cults in the traditional definition, and consider what parallels might exist in other cultures.

We’ve had plenty of instances on the show (in the main feed and especially in Old News) of archaeological research bearing out information that existed already in the historical and oral traditions of Indigenous groups. We’ll discuss some examples of this, and we’ll also examine the relationship of Indigenous science and knowledge with the Western systems that actively invalidate and exclude them.

MEMBERS - Check the ad-free page for a bonus segment! The incredible discovery in March 2022 of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance on the Antarctic sea floor leads to a discussion about the exciting future of underwater archaeology in CRM. Underwater archaeologist, Bill Burns, joins us to shed light on the incredible recent discovery of the Endurance and how it was made possible by new technology, archival research and the skillful navigation skills of Shackleton’s crew. Bill also shares his path and experiences of working as an underwater archaeologist in CRM and how, although it is highly specialized, the subdiscipline is finding a growing market in CRM. In the members only segment, Andrew and Bill “nerd out” on SCUBA technology and methods. If you aren’t a member but are a SCUBA enthusiast or just curious, the bonus segment is definitely worth the price of admission!

We've got a few articles that are all over the place - literally - this week. The first is about a re-analysis of what was thought was an ancient harbor in Italy. Turns out there's more to it. Next we talk about, well, the prehistoric world in general as it pertains the role of women. As with everything, there's more to that story and it's way more complex than early researchers would have liked. Finally we have a story of massive cave art in a hard-to-access area in Alabama. The figures are massive and would have been difficult to see in their entirety. Interested in learning about how to use X-Rays and similar technology in archaeology?

We love it when archaeologists look at other technologies that on first glance are not appropriate for archaeology. However, they're willing to give it a try and report on the results! The researches in the article we discuss used an indoor positioning system (IPS) to map an outdoor site in Israel. Their results are encouraging for this emerging technology.

This week, Amber's under the weather, so Anna goes solo with special guest Dr. Naomi Martisius. Naomi tells us how she deciphers clues about human behavior by looking at tiny tiny VERY tiny portions of animal bone surfaces under a microscope. We’ll get into her undergraduate discovery that re-wrote a part of prehistory (no, really), and her work on the extremely cool bone artifacts and ornaments from Bacho Kiro Cave, in what is today Bulgaria.

BONUS Hello, friends! We’re moving our episode schedule slightly—episodes will now be coming out on Wednesdays!! But in the meantime—This is a shortened version of a much longer chat that's available to our Patreon members (link below to join and support the show)! Anna and Amber chat about some changes in their personal lives, plus some updates to The Dirt. We also FINALLY answer our own interview questions: 1. What's the best thing about anthropology? 2. What moment from human history/prehistory or the history of anthropology would you want to go back in time to see? This is a departure from our usual episodes, so if you're not a big fan of parts of the show where we get chatty...this one might not be for you!

Settle in for a HEFTY episode, folks! This week, Amber and Anna examine the world of the Neo-Assyrian empire. This means some substantial time spent context-setting, thanks to the complex nature of early Mesopotamian politics, religion, warfare, and state propaganda. Then we look further at that carefully crafted state propaganda and its influence on Assyriology. THEN we get into a bit of archaeology, and finally, discuss the Neo-Assyrian legacy and descendant communities. What a ride!

2022 marks the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of Tutankamun's tomb, and in celebration Dr Daniela Rosenow and Oxford Professor Richard Parkinson have helped create a museum exhibit that tells the story of its discovery and excavation. This unique approach highlights the people that did the excavation rather than the artifacts themselves for a unique approach to one of the most famous Egyptian archaeological discoveries. Join us for a conversation with Dr Rosenow and Professor Parkinson about the people responsible for excavating Tutankamun's tomb.

On this episode of A Life In Ruins Podcast, we have our good friend and frequent collaborator Stefan Milo on the podcast. Stefan is in the process of researching for a video on human brain size, and we talk about what he has found. Researchers have noted a decrease in brain size in humans within the last 30,000 years. We take a deep dive into how brain size has changed throughout the evolution of the genus Homo and potential reasons for the decrease in brain size. We talk about the possibility of human self-domestication and the theories surrounding it.

On a listener-sponsored episode, Anna and Amber tackle the archaeology and historical context of maroon communities. These are societies formed by self-liberated Africans during the period when the slave trade was a huge part of the world economy. We discuss some archaeological case studies, and then really think long and hard about what it means to reconstruct these lives, and who has historically done so.

On this special 4 segment episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we are lucky to be joined Trevor Creighton, a project archaeologist at Butser Ancient Farm. Butser Ancient Farm is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company with a focus on education and research, located just north of Portsmouth in the UK. They have a series of buildings at the farm, which are constructed based on evidence from archaeological excavations. They test theories about the technologies, building techniques and ways of life of ancient people by reconstructing parts of their homes and lives. They have constructed buildings from the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Roman period in Britain and a house from the Anglo-Saxon era. Trevor explained his very interesting journey from doing Radiography to getting an M.A. in Visual Arts and eventually getting an M.A. in Archaeology from the University of Leicester. He then delves into the history of Butser Ancient Farm, what they do and what time periods are represented. We then discuss more broadly about experimental archaeology and experiential archaeology. We finish off by discussing if their is an equivalent to Butser Farm in North America. Butser Plus is a way you can view how the folks at Butser Ancient Farm explore the ancient past. Butser Plus contains behind-the-scenes mini documentaries of the farm. Go check it out for a remote way to observe experimental archaeology.

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, David and Connor talk to Dr. Angela Perri about her lengthy CV and her academic/professional career. Dr. Perri is currently the top researcher in the world in terms of understanding the relationship between humans and dogs in the ancient world. So clearly, David's ears perked up. As usual, we first dive into Angela's early life and career in anthropology, and talk about her interesting transition from a Las Vegas bartender and Oregonian undergrad, to being a PhD student in the UK. We then discuss her time at Durham University and her dissertation research, which took her to Japan, Mongolia, and the American Southeast. We also talk about her time and research at the Max Planck Institute studying dog genomics and DNA. David and Connor also ask Angela multiple questions about dogs, dog domestication, and the human/dog relationship. We then end on Angela's career advice and have a heart to heart conversation about mental health, Academia, and CRM.

Steve Waller is an expert in the study of ArchaeoAcoustics. ArchaeoAcoustics is the study of sound in the prehistoric environment. Mr. Waller got his start in the caves of France while pursuing a passion for rock art study. One idea that Mr. Waller pursued was the idea that rock art was actually inspired by sound - specifically the sound in a cave. What Mr. Waller found was that the acoustic impacts of a location on rock art happen more often than anyone could have suspected.

For our first live show and in celebration of our 100th episode, we had originally planned for a dynamic and audience-interactive experience full of bits, challenges, and guest appearances. However, due to the recent invasion of Ukraine by Putin’s Russia, we wanted to use our platform to support the people of Ukraine. We were joined by Simon Radchenko, a Ph.D. candidate in Archaeology at the University of Turin, in Turin Italy. Simon is a Ukrainian archaeologist that first appeared in Episode 34, and joined us live from Italy. Originally recorded live on March 12th, 2022 In this episode, we chat with Simon about cultural differences between Ukraine and Russia, the history between the two countries, and his personal story about leaving Kyiv and getting to Italy. During the show, we took live questions from the audience. Interested in learning about how to use X-Rays and similar technology in archaeology?

To help out he developed a new machine that can basically do an auger test down to 7 meters, log the levels along the way, and there's an attached mechanized screen. It's a pretty cool system and we hear how he developed it and what he hopes to do in the future with this new system. Brian’s Bio Brian L. Fritz is the Principle Archaeological Investigator for Quemahoning, LLC, a cultural resources consulting business that specializes in geoarchaeology, soil geomorphology, and GIS solutions for archaeological problems. Mr. Fritz has earned a B.S. in geology and a B.A. in Anthropology from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and M.S. in Geology at the University of Akron.

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Kara Vetter, Director of Cultural Resources at the Museum of Us, and Eva Trujillo (Siny ‘Iipay, Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians), UCSD’s Repatriation Coordinator and Museum of Us Board Trustee). This conversation is a deep dive into the Museum of Us’ Decolonization efforts. First, we talk about the colonial history of the museum and the impetus of the decolonization efforts. Then we move into the four guiding principles they are using to do this work and how they have incorporated them at the museum. Finally we talk about advice they’d give to other museums trying to make similar efforts and their dream visions for the future of the museum.

A field school is usually required to get a job in Cultural Resources Management. A lot of professionals went to a field school that filled an interested and didn't really prepare them for a career in CRM. There are a few CRM field schools out there and another is starting in May of 2022. The Center for American Archaeology has created a four-week program of intense study and on today's episode, we talk to one of the directors of the program, Dr. Jason King. Field School Description APPLIED ARCHAEOLOGY FOR CRM CAREERS (CRMFS) is a four-week, intensive field school experience designed to provide students with job-ready skills to enter the workforce as archaeological field technicians at the Cultural Resource Management (CRM) industry. Students will learn key skills necessary for CRM jobs, including survey, surface collection, shovel-testing, excavation, laboratory techniques, relevant laws, and reporting. Students will learn the entire process of CRM practices, from data collection to data reporting and mitigation. Practical field and laboratory activities are supplemented by relevant readings and formal lectures. About Dr. Jason King Dr. Jason L King is the Executive Director of the Center for American Archeology in Kampsville, IL. He earned his BA from the University of South Carolina and MA and PhD from the University of New Mexico. Since 2001 he has directed CAA fieldwork & field schools at several Lower Illinois Valley sites, including Mound House, Golden Eagle, Kampsville Lock, and German sites. His primary research interests focus on the formation and maintenance of social groups during the Woodland period.

Dr. Shane Miller is back on the podcast to talk about a new paper that just came out. The Hopewell airbust event, published about in Nature Scientific Reports, is believed to be a series of near-Earth comets that are hypothesized to have had impacts on cultures living around 1600 years ago (252-383 CE). We dive into this paper and discuss its argument, the pitfalls/questions we have about the paper and where we want to see the research go in the future.

We've got FOUR news articles for you today. The first is about the oldest ear surgery that took place over 5,000 years ago. She lived! For a little while anyway. Then we go to London where one of the best Roman mosaics to be found in the last century was uncovered. They had all the best things! Finally (sort of) we go to China and look at the oldest pants, or trousers, ever found. We have a fourth article about a new rock art dating technique but that's in our bonus content for members of the APN.

This week we have three super interesting news stories that grabbed our attention. First, a beautiful carved chalk drum was found with a Neolithic child burial in the UK. Second, new evidence shows the entry of Homo Sapiens into Europe may have been 10,000 years early than researchers previously realized. And finally, an archaeologist in Arizona claims to have found evidence that re-maps the route taken by the Coronado Expedition in 1540.

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Dr. Ayana Omilade Flewellen (they/she), Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Riverside. Through Dr. Flewellen’s work in historical archaeology of the African Diaspora focusing on the era of Enslavement and post-emancipation, we talk about how the way people, in this case Black women, dress and adorn themselves and how those practices are shaped by larger factors, including racism and sexism. We also dive into the work of the Society of Black Archaeologists and Diving With a Purpose to tell a larger story of Black history in the field of Anthropology and to the general public, as well as to provide opportunities for the next generation of Black scholars and maritime archaeologists.

We dive into Dr. Samuel Redman’s latest book, Prophets and Ghosts: The Story of Salvage Anthropology. Amber and Anna (mostly Amber) have lots of questions about the seemingly paradoxical 19th- and 20th- century urge by American scholars to “rescue” objects and even human remains from “disappearing” Indigenous groups. It’s a fascinating window into anthropology viewed as a moral and academic obligation, and the social underpinnings of the development of the discipline in the US. And!

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news articles. First, spines excavated in the Chincha valley of Peru are threaded on reeds posthumously. Archaeologist speculate this may have been done by the family members of the data after looting by the Spanish occurred. In segment 2 we take a look at a cemetery in the UK with an unusually high number of decapitated bodies. And finally, it turns out that ancient Egyptians used broken pot sherds as a type of notepad that school children used to practice script writing.

This week, we explore yet another place that’s not a backwater or influenced by aliens! In 1986, two pits were excavated at the site of Sanxingdui (Three Stars Mound) in what is today China’s Sichuan province. These two pits, and six more uncovered in 2021, were full of bronze, jade, gold, and ivory objects that appear to have been “sacrificed” (burned or broken) before burial. The artifacts were made in a style never before seen in Chinese material culture. What was going on at Sanxingdui, and why was the site abruptly abandoned thousands of years ago? We can tell you right off the bat that it wasn’t aliens, but you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out more!

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we talk to our arch-nemesis, co-founder of the Archaeology Podcast Network, and host of the Modern Myth Podcast Tristan Boyle. We start out talking about our terrible impersonations of him and talk about where he is from and where he currently lives in the UK. We then delve into his formative years and how he got into archaeology. Tristan then nerds out about heavy metals in hair samples. We then ask him to recall the APN origin story. Tristan then talks about Unarchaeology as a response to inaccessibility within archaeology as a discipline. He then talks about his favorite "Modern Myth" Podcast and we finish talking about the CRM career field and how it needs to change.

Everyone knows that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE buried the Roman town of Pompeii in volcanic ash, abruptly ending its time as a flourishing port city on the Bay of Napes. But, what what else was happening in the ancient world at the same time? In this Timelines episode, we begin by chatting about Pompeii and it's unfortunate demise in segment one. Then we move over to Central America, where Teotihuacán is entering its monumental architecture building phase at the same time. And finally, in segment three we look at the Kingdom of Aksum, which was growing into a thriving trade town on the route between Rome, the middle east and India. These three very similar, yet very different stories were taking place at the same time of approximately 79 CE around the world!

We’ve all seen other archaeologists use strange tools that are not part of any normal recommendation list. Sometimes they are just odd, but other times turn out to be incredibly useful. What are these tools that we have seen? How were they used? We’re they so good that you bought one for yourself, or so weird that you just chalked it up to another wacky story from the field? Let’s talk about these tools from excavation to survey to lab work. Start your own podcast with Zencastr and get 30% off your first three months with code CRMARCH.

In this episode, we are joined by Megan Kumorek who is a writer and creative partner for the Middle East, North Africa, and Mediterranean Archaeology Publication Group and Promotional and Academic Partner for the Save Cultural Heritage Group. We start off by talking with Megan about her educational background in Archaeology, beginning with her undergraduate in Anthropology at Northern Arizona University and then Megan's M.A. program in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool in the U.K. We then dive into Megan's experiences in working on graffiti in Egyptian archaeology and what the transition was like from researching North and South American archaeology to studying the Egyptian Archaeological Record. We tie up the episode with a very fun and entertaining conversation about depictions of archaeology in video games. Turns out, Megan is a huge gamer! We cover a gambit of video games and how they represent archaeology. The video games that we cover include Tomb Raider, the Assassin's Creed games, World of Warcraft, Sims 4, Zelda, Jedi Fallen Order, Dragon Age Origins, and more!

This episode centers on the concept of resource depression and its relationship to the proliferation of religious intensification that includes the production (sometimes) of rock art. We take you on an intellectual journey of research into the dynamics of the habits and habitat of the bighorn sheep, the technology of big game hunting, the controversies surrounding human ecology and Native cosmology. Dr. Garfinkel has published on these topics in several articles in the Journal of Archaeological Science and also in the Annual Rock Art Research volumes from the American Rock Art Research Association.

We've talked extensively about non-destructive techniques for looking into the ground. But, what about this human body or ancient collections? What about other materials? Our guest this week talks about the use of x-rays and other similar technologies in archaeology and how they're used to look inside ancient remains and artifacts to determine what's inside, how's it made, and in the case of bones, pathology and other indicators.

In this episode, we are joined by Chris Johnston who is the Operations Director and Project Archaeologist for the Paleocultural Research Group. As always, we kick off the episode investigating Chris's introduction to archaeology and how he turned in his Buffalo horns for Ram horns. We delve into the Paleocultural Research Group (PCRG), what it does, how it operates, and what it is like to work for them. We tie up the episode talking about how archaeology can often focus on the "micro-scale" of that past on how we, as archaeologists, can better bring back the "people-ness" to older archaeological components in our research and in the literature.

With the recent release of The Dig, a Netflix film focused on the excavation of an incredible burial ship at Sutton Hoo, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at this site! Sutton Hoo is extremely important and interesting for many reasons and we dive into those as well as review the movie. Did we like it? Join us and find out!

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First, researchers have discovered 2 well preserved shipwrecks off the coast of Ceasarea that are from two different time periods, but very close together on the sea floor. Second, a forgotten African American cemetery has been re-discovered under a parking lot and building in Clearwater Florida. And finally, new research shows that Neanderthals may have had a bigger impact on the Pleistocene landscape than we previously thought. Links

ENCORE: On this episode we talk to Dr. Tirtha Mukhopadhyay about his career in rock art. From his homeland of Calcutta, India, to continued graduate studies in Texas, and his current research working out of Guanajuato University in Mexico. They take a deep dive into the mysteries surrounding the relationships of science and religion. Our guest scholar provides up to date thinking on how our minds process images and create emotions relating to our understanding of deities. We delve into just what rock art images mean and how they affect the emotional states of its viewers. Finally, we provide some working hypotheses on what those animal-human figures depicted in prehistoric rock art communicate in terms of their compound metaphors as shamans, ancestors, and deities.

20th December - Episode 7 - 95th Anniversary, Agatha Christie Disappears For 11 Days. (3rd December 1926) It is quite common for mystery to be associated with the festive season, in particular, adaptions of Agatha Christie's famous work have had a place as Christmas reading or nowadays watching since they were first published. This is a tradition which holds today with my own family and in honor of the season we want to share it with you! This episode is luckily then inspired by the 95th Anniversary of the most mysterious event in Christie's own life, her disappearance for 11 days whereupon she reappeared with apparent amnesia, on 3rd December 1926. But how is archaeology involved... well, in quite a few ways actually, Christie was a pretty brilliant archaeologist-in-training, was married to a professional archaeologist, was a fixture at many Middle and Near Eastern sites, and wrote quite a bit of insightful narrative surrounding archaeology in her fiction novels. Joining me this episode is Dr. Rebecca Mills a lecturer in Communications and English at the University of Bournemouth, also Agatha Christie aficionado. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Yule, or simply Happy Holiday Season, may next year be utterly brilliant for all of you! Dr. Mills has rather brilliantly also provided a further reading list below: Graphic biography: The Real Life of Agatha Christie, by Anne Martinetti and Guillaume Lebeau, illustrated by Alexandre Franc, translated by Edward Gauvin (SelfMadeHero, 2016) J.C.

Chris and Paul discuss a couple recent articles. One describes the use of muons as a non-invasive technique for looking inside solid objects, and the other discusses the authors’ R project for visualizing chronology. They might not seem related, but both articles predict exciting advancements in archaeology. Links

On today’s podcast Jessica catches up with Heritage Voices Episode 8 guest Anna Cordova, Lead Archaeologist for the city of Colorado Springs (although, to be clear, she is not representing the city with this interview). Anna is also Chairman on the Board of Trustees of the non-profit Jessica co-founded, Living Heritage Research Council. First, we talk about what Anna has been up to since her episode, including her role on the award winning Palmer trash discovery archaeology project at Garden of the Gods. Then we move into Land Acknowledgements. What are they, how can they be improved, and how important are they? We close out by talking about various ways you can make a positive impact with Indigenous communities regardless of whether you do a land acknowledgement, including donating, board or volunteer service, buying from tribal enterprises, visiting and financially supporting tribal parks, museums, and community centers, etc. Links

This week we discuss three very different archaeological news stories! First, archaeologists in China plan to use Muons to “see” inside the unopened and presumably un-looted tomb of China’s first Emperor Qin Shi Huang. His tomb is protected by the famed Terracotta Army, but has remained unopened due to preservation concerns. The second article is about a European Mesolithic baby burial, and the great care with which she was buried. Finally, we head over to Jordan to learn about recent research that was twisted to “prove” the story of the city of Sodom in the Bible, and how this is dangerous pseudoscience that damages the archaeology of the area.

Archaeology & Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host Matthew Roberts from Sheffield Hallam University speaking on "A People's History of Sheffield from the French Revolution to Chartism". This talk took place on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2021, online via Google Meets. Sheffield has a rich tradition of ‘history from below’, in the sense of a long established assertive and proud group of working people who created a rich occupational, social and political culture. From the time of the French Revolution in the 1790s through to the 1850s and beyond, working people increasingly fought for recognition, dignity, protection in the workplace and their rights of citizens. At the centre of these struggles were Sheffield’s metal workers, the cutlers and ‘little mesters’, as well as women and not just as wives but in their own right. What was life like for the working classes of Sheffield during this period? What changes and continuities marked their lives? Why did Sheffield become a centre of radical politics? These are some of the questions we’ll explore in this talk. Matthew Roberts from Sheffield Hallam University Matthew Roberts is Associate Professor in Modern British History at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. He is an historian of nineteenth-century Britain and the Anglophone Atlantic World, and works mainly on the history of popular politics and protest, the visual and material culture of politics, and more recently the history of emotions. His book Chartism, Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero was published by Routledge in 2020, and is now available in paperback.

This week, we bring you another episode from behind the Patreon paywall. Sure, the title is a stretch, but it's hard coming up with a topical joke about portraiture! This month we dive into some early examples of representing individuals in ancient art from several times and places. Amber inexplicably takes umbrage with the entirety of Byzantine art, and both hosts question what is a face and what is a couple of lines that sorta look like a face. Links

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Heather Rockwell, who is an Assistant Professor at Salve Regina University. Big surprise, she is another fellow University of Wyoming alum. We begin by asking about her developing years in archaeology and then delve into her choice of undergraduate and graduate programs. She explains how having a diverse committee for her Ph.D. at UW was ultimately helpful for her. We then ask Dr. Rockwell to do a deep dive into Northeastern Paleoindian Archaeology. We finish off talking about the academic job market and her upcoming paper with Dr. Madeline Mackie. Literature Recommendations

In segment 1 we discuss a recent article about 25 burials found at the Chan Chan archaeological site in Peru, and the textile objects they were buried with. Segment 2 is all about new evidence for the type of material used to weave cloth at Çatalhöyük, 8000-9000 years ago. And finally, archaeological evidence in Britain shows how Neolithic weavers joined bast fibers using a splicing technique that has been developed at many times and in many places around the world.

We’re shaking things up this year, and instead of doing a ThanksViking episode, we’re peeking into the world of Maya and Aztec art and writing. The Maya wrote using a system of around 800 glyphs--the Aztecs used as many as 2,000. We won’t get to ALL of these, but we’ll talk about how these writing systems developed, how they were used, and the role they played in the lives of the Aztec and Maya people.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Gillian Wong, who is an Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, Missouri, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tuebingen. Dr. Wong chats with us about her early outdoor days, experiences at UC Davis, and how learning French has been useful for her in archaeology. We then delve into her thesis/dissertation work at the University of Utah and then in Germany. She pronounces the name of the site she worked on and Connor/Carlton fails to replicate her pronunciation. Dr. Wong then talks about her experiences being a military spouse and also some advice for those who are military spouses. Literature Recommendations

We've got three news stories for you again this week. The first is about a find at Pompeii, where they are always finding cool things, that's different from most. Archaeologists have found what they think are slave's quarters, an underrepresented group in the archaeological assemblage. Next we have some new thoughts after a recent reconstruction of the 300kyo Homo naledi. Finally, archaeologists get really excited about 2000 year old toilets in Turkey. Links

This episode is extremely scientific, and inspired by the 162nd Anniversary of the publishing of Charles Darwin's epic tome 'On The Origin Of Species', which hit the public on the 24th November 1859 and caused quite a stir. Everyone of you has probably already heard of this book, but what relevance does this research have on archaeology, well, it impacted how we see the developmental processes of societies, material culture and archaeological environments. So it's a pretty big deal! Everything from human niche construction, developments in pottery, a new exciting interdisciplinary project, population thinking vs typological thinking and so much more! Joining me this episode is Prof. S. Shennan a lecturer in Theoretical Archaeology at University College London.

Archaeology & Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host David Price from the University of Sheffield speaking on "Sheffield Troublemakers: Rebels and Radicals in Sheffield History ". This talk took place on Thursday, October 28th, 2021, online via Google Meets. David Price David Price studied history at Cambridge. He then went into the civil service. He was private secretary to Willie Whitelaw who later became Deputy Prime Minister. For some years, he worked on the transformation of old employment exchanges into modern Job Centres. In 1980, he moved with the Manpower Services Commission from London to Sheffield. On his retirement he took up history again. His first book was called Office of Hope and was the history of the Job Centres in the UK - originally founded by Winston Churchill and William Beveridge in 1910. Recently, he has been interested in helping asylum seekers in the city which has led him to write a book about migration to Sheffield called 'Welcome to Sheffield: A Migration History'. However, his best known book is about the radical tradition in Sheffield and is called 'Sheffield Troublemakers'. This is the subject of today's talk. In his talk, David will trace Sheffield's long history of radicalism and the important role that Sheffield has played on the national stage. This is a story of dissenting middle classes, independent minded artisans, champions of the weak and an unwillingness to be pushed around. Links

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Dr. Edward Jolie (Oglala Lakota and Hodulgee Muscogee), the new Clara Lee Tanner Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum and Associate Professor at School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. We talk about perishable materials, such as textiles, baskets, nets, and footwear, and why they are understudied, how they offer unique insights into the past, and what they can teach us about diversity and continuity both within and across regions. Throughout the podcast we continually return to the human element of perishable artifacts and associated research, including the movement to tribally driven archaeology. Links

In this episode, we are chatting with Dr. Alex Garcia-Putnam who is the Assistant State Physical Anthropologist for the Department of Archaeology and History Preservation in Washington State. And how did we come across Dr. Garcia-Putnam? Well he is a UW graduate of course! We start out by recapping how we know each other and talk about Alex's awesome experience returning to US from Canada. Alex talks about his experience growing up as a professors kid and how he got hooked on archaeology. We then discuss Alex's change of dissertation topic caused by the COVID19 pandemic and also discuss how bioarcheology can be used to talk about very relevant and interesting topics. We finish off talking about all the places he has worked as a bioarcheologist. Literature Recommendations

Anna and Amber are joined by wonderful Special Guest, Kyle Jordan! Kyle is a disabled Egyptologist interested in themes of religion, magic and identity in the Egyptian world, with a specific focus on the appearance and interpretation of disability in Ancient Egypt and Egyptology as a discipline. We had a wonderful-- and long-- conversation with Kyle about how Egyptians viewed the embodiment of disability, how perception of disability in archaeology has changed (and how it still needs to change), and more. Listener note, we mistakenly discuss the dialogue of a man and his ka, which was in fact between a man and his ba. This dialogue is on the subject of suicidal ideation, so please take care or skip forward at about [41:04.000]. Links

In this episode, we are joined again by Duel Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology and Cognitive Science, Lana Ruck. Lana first appeared on Episode 16, then Episode 41, and recently appeared on Episode 79. But on this episode, rather than talk about pseudoscientists or nerd out over paleo-anth with Ella, we’re going to catch up with Lana about her dissertation and the academic job market and why each pot and pan needs its own shelf in the kitchen. We recap her dissertation topic and talk about the effect the pandemic had on her data collection. Lana then talks about having to return money from the NSF and we finish out by talking about the academic job market and Lana's future trajectory. Literature recommendations: Professor Is In Contact

We've got three news articles for you this week. We start in Turkey with a discovery of a Roman mausoleum. We then head to Scotland and the Culloden Battlefield. Archaeologists hope to find out more personal details of some of the soldiers involved and to do some 3D mapping. Finally, it's back to Romans. This time their presence is found under a Norman church in England. Links

Thanks to everyone who came out to our virtual live show! This is the edited audio of that event. We talk about the role of ritual in daily life, how our big round human brains have evolved the ability to think about abstract meaning and ritual significance, and the theory underpinning all of this. We also take a trip to two incredible archaeological sites to think about how the people living there might have thought about the unknown and unseen in their lives. Whoa. Links

For this episode, we are joined again by Dr. William Taylor, who first appeared on the podcast in episode 25. We start out by discussing Dr. Taylor's COVID experience as a new professor and how his museum projects had to change to adapt to the new COVID landscape. We then delve into the research surrounding the Lehi horse. Dr. Taylor explains his methods of analysis and how they can be used to tell us about individual specimens, while also contributing to the larger discipline. We then talk about his research on early horse domestication at the Botai site. Literature Recommendations

Paul and Chris talk about a Heritage Daily article that seems a bit starry-eyed about the role of archaeology in current and future technological innovations and use. The article linked below broadly discusses a number of technologies and we take a few of them and break them down. Links

We explore the evolutionary roots of fear, and the science of how it works. Why do some people love thrills and chills, while others don't? Why does fear make us stinky? And how can we think about something as personal and ephemeral as fear in the archaeological record? Links

In this episode of A Life in Ruins (originally recorded in the summer of 2020), Carlton chats with Rock Art Specialist Emily Van Alst and Lana Ruck, who teaches a course in Pseudoarchaeology. The three take a deep dive into Episode 14 - Our Ruined Lives with Bernie Taylor, to deconstruct Mr. Taylor's arguments and claims he made on the show. We review the individuals whom Mr. Taylor "name-drops" throughout his interview to sus-out their expertise and contextualize how they're being used in Mr. Taylor's arguments. Lana illustrates the pseudoscience techniques and tactics that he employs, such as appeals to authority, inciting skepticism of the scientific process, and deflection of topics. Emily brings her expertise on Rock Art research to provide background and contemporary thought and method to the topic. The broad point that Carlton, Emily, and Lana make is that CONTEXT is important, and the purpose of this conversation is to respectfully provide context to Episode 14 and the claims that were made.

With the definitive dating of the “human” footprints at White Sands pushing back the earliest human occupation of North America to 21,000 to 23,000 years BP, we decided to take a look at several well known pre-Clovis sites. These sites are often controversial and heavily debated amongst archaeologists. We’ll discuss the findings from each site, why they are controversial, and what we think. Links

This Spooky Season episode is inspired by the 405th Anniversary of Ben Johnson's Comedy 'The Devil is an Ass', which appeared first on stage on the 1st October 1616. This play was and is rather special, as it mocks superstition and witchcraft belief, and makes The Devil himself and his lesser demons appear rather behind the times. In the Enlightened Age of the 1600s, the denizens of hell just don't know how to tempt like they once did. This discussion contains everything from the Witchcraft Trials including mention of Pendle, landscapes of superstition, the folklore of archaeology, symbolism within the persecution, and much, much more! Joining me this episode is Prof. D. Purkiss a lecturer in English Literature and History at the University of Oxford. WARNING: This episode does discuss the witchcraft persecution and some aspects of ritual sacrifice. It goes with the topic, but some people might find these aspects a little disturbing.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins, Connor does a solo interview with Dr. Bryon Schroeder. Dr. Schroeder was originally on Episode 15, where he discussed his career in archaeology and regaled us with tales about Texas archaeology that were sometimes, quite disturbing. Connor wanted to continue to talk with him about his research because it is very interesting. We talk about some of the work in caves he has been doing, his work with sloths, and catch up about the mummy we discussed in the original episode. This episode was originally recorded in July of 2020. Contact for Guest

Archaeologists have been using digital technologies to augment traditional field archaeology for several decades (GPS and mapping mostly). However, as modern technologies continue to enter the archaeological space, most researchers are using these techniques almost as a second thought. The authors of this case study argue for development of a digital strategy that will allow researchers to plan and develop questions that are answered by a suite of techniques. Links

In this episode, we are chatting with Dr. Robert Lassen, a Principal Investigator for AmaTerra Environmental. Robert received his Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee where he specialized in lithic technology and studied Clovis and Folsom archaeological cultures. He has worked at a multitude of sites throughout the Republic of Texas, including Gault. He's also worked at the Topper site in South Carolina. Robert is an expert flintknapper and was also David’s Human origins TA at the University of Tennessee. We talk about his inspiration from the goonies and his early years digging in the playground. Robert tells us about his experience with Texas archaeology and his love of lithic technology. We then delve deeply into why Texas archaeology is so cool and underappreciated and then close out with his experiences at the Gault site.

This week, we're taking a turn for the cryptid and spooking local with the legend of West Virginia native son, the Mothman. For a little over a year leading up to December 1967, sightings of a winged humanoid with glowing eyes were reported in and around Point Pleasant, WV. Since then, Mothman has evolved from evil omen to legend to meme. In this episode, we’ll explore the legend, collective memory, and the power of portents. Links

Released on Hulu in 2020, Ammonite is a fictionalized movie that portrays a few years at the end of Mary Anning's life. She was an amateur paleontologist and with her family discovered the first ichthyosaur fossils in England. We talk about the movie, what it got right and what it didn't, and about the real Mary Anning and her life, work, and discoveries. Links

Something's afoot. There is, yet again, another controversial preclovis find. This time, away from the West Coast and in New Mexico. The controversy surrounds human footprints found in White Sands National Park that are dated between 23 and 21 kya. To discuss these possible pre-Clovis footprints, we invited Dr. Jesse Tune and Dr. Shane Miller on the show to contextualize the data. We begin with an open discussion about the recent published report and try to understand what the researches found at the site. We then chat about their controversy, how it’s hit the mainstream media, and what the ramifications of the repaint are for archaeology. The conversation then turns into a open dialogue about scientific biases, as well as the role of Indigenous oral traditions and their incorporation into scientific theories.

SPOOKTOBER HAS BEGUN! This week, we discuss the trope in myth, legend, horror, and adjacent genres of feral children. We won't be directly discussing actual cases of trauma, neglect, or child abuse, but rather the place of the bestial feral child in the mythology of different ancient cultures all the way up to a more recent timeline. Why do these stories interest us, spook us, and who's the real monster here? Links

In this episode we interview Dr. Randy Daniel of East Carolina University about his new book: Time, Typology, and Point Traditions in North Carolina Archaeology. His research interests include the archaeology of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the Southeastern United States, particularly hunter-gatherer adaptations at the end of the last Ice Age. Dr. Daniel recognized the need to update, revise and add to the previous point typology definitions in North Carolina, which lead to the book published earlier this year. We chat with Dr. Daniel about why the update was needed, as well as his methodology and approach towards working with private land owners and amateur collectors.

A recent paper discussing footprints found years ago in New Mexico is shaking up the archaeological community. The footprints were dated to between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago - problematic because concrete evidence for the earliest sites sits at around 14,000 years ago. There are older sites, but, the evidence isn't great. This new research, however, could change everything. Links

Dr. Devin Pettigrew comes back on the show to talk about his doctoral dissertation on atlatl and bow weapon system ballistics. Devin first appeared on the show as a guest host back in episode 18.2 and then again as a guest for episode 19. You may also recognize him if you've checked out our YouTube channel. We start off by talking about the dissertation process, what Devin's research question was, the methods behind his experiments, and data collection. We have an interesting conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of controlled vs uncontrolled experiments. Of course, that disgusting goat carcass gets brought up, but, Carlton is able to control his gag reflex. We close out the episode with a discussion on the results of Devin's doctoral research and how they relate to modern-day hunting practices in the West as well as raw material collection in the "Pre-white" times.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins, we provide information about undergraduate and graduate school. We start off joking about our favorite episodes (all of them are our favorite) and then dive into things to consider when applying to undergraduate and graduate programs. We talk about our differing experiences in undergrad and the positives and negatives of each of our experiences. Importantly, we dive into how to research graduate programs, and factors surrounding how to choose a school are then discussed. We then wrap it up with other ridiculous conversations. Contact

On this episode of A Life In Ruins Podcast, we are joined by an early A Life in Ruins guest, Dr. David S. Anderson, to talk about the Origins of early states in Mesoamerica. Dr. Anderson first appeared on our show in episode 11 to talk about pseudoscience in archaeology, and we are excited to have him back on the show to discuss with us the real perpetrators of Central American megalithic structures and ceremonial centers. Dr. Anderson enlightens us about theories surrounding the emergence of complex civilization in Central America and then we delve into the Olmec and other Preclassic civilizations. We then get our minds blown about the size/scope of the El Tigre Pyramid and discuss some other Late Preclassic Maya sites. Dr. Anderson then teaches us about all things Maya.

We start with a site that was found in Croatia by basically looking at satellite maps and looking for interesting shapes in the water. We then go to Michigan in the USA and look at a Clovis site that was found by a self-taught researcher. Finally, we head to Poland where a farmer found, and reported, a unique hoard of metal artifacts. Links

Statement from University of Worcester: “Following a declining interest in studying Archaeology, which has been seen UK-wide, the University of Worcester has very regretfully taken the decision to close the remaining offer in this subject. Applicant numbers have been very low for several years and have now declined to the level where a course in Archaeology at the University is simply unviable. We have made strenuous efforts to attract applicants but, despite all the efforts of the colleagues concerned and the work of the University as a whole, the trend away from studying Archaeology has proved to be deep seated and there is no alternative but to close the offer of our Archaeology courses. The small number of students who are currently completing their studies will continue to be supported to gain their qualifications. The number of staff affected is very small and the University will make every effort to find other ways of using their teaching expertise. Teaching staff concerned are being fully consulted.”

Maggie Barry didn't even know what CRM Archaeology was when she was in college at the University of Davis. Upon graduation with a degree in American Studies and a focus on Culture and Consumption, Maggie joined the Peace Corps and spent over two years in Botswana. When she came home she hiked the Pacific Crest Trail - a 2000+ hike along the west coast of the United States. She landed a few jobs in CRM some time later and is still working as an archaeologist. We talk to Maggie about her journey, what it taught her, and what it can teach others about their path to this unique lifestyle.

There have been some amazing new discoveries in the human fossil record since that series dropped, so we're here to update you on what our family shrubbery looks like now. We journey to Siberia, the Philippines, China, and other places, and our story gets a whole lot more complicated! We love to see it. Links

This week we interview Jason Cooper, an archaeologist with the Washington DOT, the current president of the Association for Washington Archaeology, and former archaeologist with the environmental firm, AMEC. In 2008 we were lucky enough to work on an Olcott excavation with Jason, and now he has co-written a book about those findings. We discuss the significance of the Olcott tradition in Washington, as well as how our findings on the CRM project in 2008 contributed to our knowledge of the Olcott people. Links

On today’s episode we focus on one article from the Studies in Digital Heritage online and open-access journal. The latest issue was a special issue on 3D methodologies in Mediterranean archaeology. The article we discuss was written by Miriam Clinton and is called Online Gaming as Digital Heuristics. We thought this was interesting because it’s not about online gaming, per se, but the researchers did develop a game of sorts and had random people from the internet play this game in order to study movements through a reconstructed ancient house.

On this episode of ALiRP, we interview our friend and colleague, Dr. Madeline Mackie. Dr. Mackie just began her position as an assistant professor at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Dr. Mackie studies Paleoindian lifeways and big game hunting, as well as ochre hand sprays. We met Dr. Mackie at the University of Wyoming, where she dealt with our numerous shenanigans. We start off by talking about her experiences growing up in Southern California and then delve into her MA research on hand sprays in Wyoming. Dr. Mackie then talks about the La Prele Mammoth site and we kind of nerd out about the finds. She then talks about post-doc life and the jobs market. Literature Recommendations:

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Zion White, Charles Arrow, and Aaron Wright from Archaeology Southwest, a 501c3 based in Tucson, Arizona. Archaeology Southwest is working with several Tribes in southern Arizona to establish permanent protection for the Great Bend of the Gila, a rich cultural landscape nestled between Yuma and Phoenix. Today’s guests have been documenting the Great Bend of the Gila landscape together over the past several years. They talk about the significance of this landscape both culturally and archaeologically, how they’d like to see the place treated, and what it means to them to be working collaboratively on documenting this cultural landscape.

Stefan Milo is a popular Youtuber who has appeared on episodes 20 and 43. He made a video on an Indus Valley Civilization where he discusses the interesting lack of social hierarchy found in this civilization (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxP1zornb-w). We struggle with geography, time periods, and basically everything in this episode but also discuss social hierarchy/structure. Guest Contact Stefan Milo Email: hello@stefanmilo.com

Statement from Worcester University: “Following a declining interest in studying Archaeology, which has been seen UK-wide, the University of Worcester has very regretfully taken the decision to close the remaining offer in this subject. Applicant numbers have been very low for several years and have now declined to the level where a course in Archaeology at the University is simply unviable. We have made strenuous efforts to attract applicants but, despite all the efforts of the colleagues concerned and the work of the University as a whole, the trend away from studying Archaeology has proved to be deep seated and there is no alternative but to close the offer of our Archaeology courses. The small number of students who are currently completing their studies will continue to be supported to gain their qualifications. The number of staff affected is very small and the University will make every effort to find other ways of using their teaching expertise. Teaching staff concerned are being fully consulted.”

Archaeology & Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host John R. Collis from the University of Sheffield speaking on "Teaching and Training in Archaeology: a Historical Perspective with John Collis." This talk took place on Wednesday, June 30th, 2021, online via Google Meets. John Collis, the University of Sheffield John Collis studied archaeology in Cambridge in the 1960s, but also briefly in Prague, Tübingen and Frankfurt. He was an advisor at the research centre in Mont Beuvray in Burgundy for 17 years, and led excavations and field work in the Auvergne and in central Spain as well as England. He lectured in Sheffield from 1972 to 2005 and was one of the founding members of the department in 1975. He lectured on the European and the British Iron Age, and is mainly known for his writings on the Iron Age, urbanisation and the problems of the Celts. He also lectured on excavation techniques, and wrote Digging up the Past based on his lectures. However he was also writing about the training of archaeologists, and was chair of the Teaching and Training Committee of the Chartered Institute of Archaeologists (of which he was as a founding member), and helped introduce Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for archaeologists. He also set up the Teaching Committee of the European Association of Archaeologists to discuss the impact of the ‘Bologna’ structure on university degree courses and its impact on archaeology. He was advisor to the first European ‘Profiling the Profession’ led by Kenny Aitchison. He has written several articles on the ways in which training is given and different European traditions of teaching, digging and defining archaeologists.

When you fly your drone over a landscape or use satellite images in your research, do you ever thing about the people that live on and use the land that you're studying? Because of the scale of the images you might not be able to see actual people, but they're there. In a recent paper, Dylan Davis and Tanambelo Rasolondrainy, two of the authors and our guests today, explore the ethics of remote sensing and collaboration with stakeholders. Links

This discussion which occurred this episode is sure to keep anyone thinking for quite some time, inspired by the 58th Anniversary of the US, UK and Soviet Union Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, when any nuclear testing with the exception of that underground was by agreement ceased. This episode discusses nuclear archaeology... which includes everything from nuclear techniques to commentary on the ethics of nuclear to the rather intriguing notion of a 'curated nuclear archaeological site'. Perhaps most importantly this episode we find out that all archaeologists are essentially experts on past societies, wait for it... waste products! And it always sounded so glamorous too. All of this is discussed with Prof. R. Joyce, whose book certainly inspired the direction of this discussion. In advance, thanks for listening!

It's our 150th episode! Wow! This week we're starting our Back To School series with a short primer on stratigraphy. How do archaeologists divide a site into time periods? How did people first figure out that layers of sediment accumulate over time through different processes? How many dirt/soil/sediment puns is Anna capable of making in roughly forty minutes?

In this week’s episode of The Archaeology Show, we take a look at 3 recent archaeology news articles. First, a Roman graveyard containing an unusually high number of decapitated burials, indicating they may have been executed criminals. Second, lava tubes in Saudi Arabia with thousands of bones deposited by hyenas representing many different animals, including humans. Finally, we discuss spade shaped coins made in a 2500 year old Chinese mint. Links

Buckle up for an episode on the theory of the rise of early states and ancient civilizations. Episode 68 sets the stage for a series investigating early civilizations across the globe. We break down Elman Service and Lewis Henry Morgan's theories on cultural complexity and go through a couple of definitions for "civilization". Think that's going to be boring? Well just wait, we even talk about primary vs secondary civilizations and the four classic theories on how early complex civilizations rise. Of course, any episode involving the great mistake of neothilization wouldn't be complete without poking fun of our friend Stefan Milo. Literature Recommendations

This week, we’ve got an episode that started off as a funny title and became a topic. There are many possible reasons for abandoning a site, and there are plenty of examples from the archaeological record. We’ll look into evidence for climate change, conflict, natural disaster, and other reasons for abandonment (not all at once; that sounds like a really bad place to live). Plus, Anna and Amber do Dickens. Links

On today’s show we start with an article that claims to “debunk” the Paleo Diet. However, what it really does is just talk about a lot of really cool food-related things in history. Next we go to Turkey and learn about a headless statue that was recently discovered. Finally, we end in an Iranian salt mine where naturally mummified sheep were found. Links

Albert Knight traces his associations with rock art studies throughout his lengthy career and focuses on the nature of discovery and the most remarkable sites he has had the joy of working on. Burro Flats in the Simi Valley of southern California in Los Angeles County is akin to the Chumash rock art painted pictograph traditions. The site exhibits polychrome paintings within a rock shelter that some believe are documentation of the oral traditions and ritual activities associated with the movements and timing of the sun. There is a sun dagger that appears at the solstice and pierces a concentric circle element. The elements have been interpreted as representing the various deities and their interactions as represented in the Native sacred narrative. Links California Rock Art Foundation Contact

Dr. Jarrod Burks of Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc joins us on the show today to talk about his pioneering geophysical work in Ohio. Dr. Jarrod Burks specializes in geophysically detecting the unseen archaeological record that surrounds us. He is also president of Heartland Earthworks Conservancy, an organization that works to study and save Ohio earthworks. Dr. Burks’ day job takes him all over the country, and beyond, to survey archaeology sites, cemeteries, and even look for lost WWII soldiers. Back home, he fell in love with Ohio’s Woodland period mounds and earthwork sites more than 25 years ago when he moved to Columbus to pursue his doctorate in Hopewell settlement research at The Ohio State University. He now spends a good amount of time each year surveying earthworks, retracing the footsteps of the 19th century mappers and travelers…as well as discovering previously undocumented sites. Links

In this episode of the A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Kelly Brown, the Archives Lab Manager at the Augusta Veterans Curation Program. Her main job component is managing archives, her secondary responsibility is being David's workplace babysitter. She recently graduated with a Master's Degree in Library and Information science (MLIS) and has accepted a position at the Savannah River Site Museum in Aiken, South Carolina. We discuss Kelly’s background in archaeology from the University of Georgia and her field school on the Georgia coast. Kelly provides the three hosts a glimpse into the world of archives and documentation and discusses why information science is important in all fields, especially in archaeology Most of the episode, however, is the roast of David Howe’s illiteracy.

Today, Dr. Garfinkel takes to Stephen O'Neil. He is a cultural and social anthropologist and archaeologist. He has been working with the Juaneno, the Native people in Orange County and around Mission San Juan Capistrano for 50 years. His efforts have preserved priceless oral histories and made discoveries through his meticulous analysis of the sacramental registries of the mission. Further, he has used this information to help deconstruct the native rock art of the region. You don't want to miss his reflections on his life, research, and discoveries.

There has been quite a bit of talk on social media recently centering on pay scales for archaeologists and how the average rate should be/can be increased to meet a threshold that is livable and commensurate with experience and skills. There are some that assume that upper management is out to cheat the average arch tech. Although that may be true in some cases, the subject is much more complex than just an arbitrary decision or pay. The only way to improve the current climate with respect to pay is to understand the driving forces behind pay rates. Understanding the nuances may not only improve your chances of being paid more, it will improve your overall professional well-being.

We cover llamas, guinea pigs (so startled), turkey's and a few other domesticates that the three hosts didn't know about.

This episode turned out to be rather the diverse discussion, inspired by the 76th Anniversary of the WWII Potsdam Meeting, where the fate of Germany was decided by the Allied Powers and a whole country was physically divided. This includes everything from trying to define the differences between a border, boundary or frontier, to modern vs archaeological comparison, is Trump's Wall in anyway comparable to Hadrien's Wall... or is it just the disappointing cousin at the metaphorical dinner party? All of this is discussed with Prof R. Hingley, whose name has become quite synonymous with any and all research into the most famous frontier of all time, Hadrien's Wall.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins podcast, The hosts have another off the rails discussion about domesticates. This time however, talking llamas, guinea pigs, camels, horses, goats, and dogs. You might notice that not all of them are Old World Domesticates. Honestly, you’ll just have to listen to the episode understand. It is actually a very thoughtful and funny conversation about the idiosyncrasies of domestication, animal behavior, and how humans interact with animals.

Archaeology & Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. It's our honour to welcome Professor John Barrett speaking on the 'The Importance and Future of Archaeology: a personal view.' This talk took place on June 16th in-person and online via Google Meets. John is an accomplished archaeologist with many decades of experience. He graduated from the University of Wales (University College Cardiff) and taught at the Universities of Leeds and Glasgow before joining the University of Sheffield in 1995. John was appointed to a Chair in Archaeology in 2001, was Head of Archaeology 2002-2006, Dean of Arts 2007-2008, and Acting Head of Department of Biblical Studies 2009-2011. In 2005, he was invited as a Visiting Professor to the University of Heidelberg and has served on the various UK and overseas advisory boards in connection with commercial, museum and university-based archaeology. He is currently an Emeritus Professor at Sheffield's Department of Archaeology. John is currently involved in several research projects and writing programmes. John continues to be interested in designing new archaeological methodologies that are theoretically sound and capable of empowering field archaeologists. He hopes that this will engage the wider community to participate in the archaeological investigation of historical processes. In this talk, John will speak on his views about the future of commercial, academic, and community archaeology. In addition, he discusses the study's history and the contribution that archaeology can make to the ongoing climate crisis.

In this episode, we continue talking about the Revolutionary War, aka the War for American Freedom, aka ‘Merica War’. We hope this one is more factual and just as hilarious as Episode 57. We recount the events following the Crossing of the Delaware River, highlight Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga, the winter at Valley Forge, the alliance between France and the US, and how this alliance changed the outcome of the war, with some archaeological case studies sprinkled throughout the narrative. We get into a discussion about the traitorous Benedict Arnold and his relationship to Eggs Benedict, the Articles of Confederation, and the end of the war. We spend some time promoting the importance of battlefield archaeology and its importance for learning more about the War for American Independance. We end the snoozer with some ridiculous banter.

This episode turned out to be rather the diverse discussion, inspired by the 108th Anniversary of the death of Emily Wilding Davison, suffragette, teacher and martyr in her last act of defiance. Everything from the lady herself to the wider suffragette movement, women's rights reception, our own personal heroes in the fields of history, archaeology and heritage and well... what exactly is the state of the situation now.

All the history we read in the history books can begin to seem a little mundane, but history also has a Flipside. Each month we take an historical event anniversary and, admittedly sometimes tenuously, extract a discussion topic from it, then we ask guests from the history, archaeology and heritage spheres to sit down and have a chat with us about it... no holds barred; these discussions could head off in any number of tangents. Ever wondered how suffragette martyr Emily Wilding Davison, a little-known hieroglyph specialist and the modern gender pay-gap are linked, well except from all being in one single episode of Flipside that is... listen and find out! And as always, stay safe, and we'll see you on the Flipside! #OnTheFlipside MusicIntro/Outro Music - Creative Commons - "Fantasia Fantasia" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

Today’s podcast features Dr. Neha Gupta, Assistant Professor in Anthropology at The University of British Columbia, Okanagan. We talk about how archaeology in both India and Canada is shaped by colonialism in different and similar ways. Dr. Gupta explains how she is perceived working in the two different settings as a South Asian woman and how she uses digital tools towards an anti-colonial archaeology in both India and Canada. This discussion focuses on varied topics ranging from the MINA | Map Indian Archaeology project and how to balance open research with the rights of Indigenous people. Links

Listeners, once again, life has come at us like a poorly written simile, so we're releasing a previous Patreon episode. And once again, we are so deeply grateful for your patience and support. Thank you for sticking with us. As an extension of March Madagascarness, we head back to the island with our (ill-fitting) primatology hats on. Anna put together a fun script about giant extinct lemurs, tiny not-extinct lemurs, and even creepy aye-aye fingers, but somehow Amber managed to have a full on meltdown about a lemur named Maki.

We have three articles for you today. The first is about current climate models and how they don't take archaeological information into consideration. For example, how many acres of food were grown per person in 1500 Europe verses China? Next we look at why pig and fish remains were in abundance in some ancient Judean settlements? Weren't they supposed to be Kosher? Finally, a paper that's still just an abstract suggests that coin makers in ancient Greece and Rome found it hard to make bronze dies. Links

For this episode of Just the Boyz, the hosts attempt to discuss the events leading up to the American Revolution and the first year of the fight for America's Independence from the English Crown. Early on in this episode, you can tell that hosts have a lot to say without a really coherent plan as to how to say it. The guys are all over the place with this episode, but you can definitely get a sense of their passion for this topic. And yes, Carlton did mix up King George III with King George V. He's been binging The Crown recently. Literature recommendations:

She is the director of the American Indian Studies Program and the 2019-2023 Chancellor's Fellow of Indigenous Research & Ethics. We get in depth on language revitalization, including the importance of context, resources for people interested in language revitalization, the challenge of evaluating results, and how the way we frame discussions of language revitalizations matters. Finally, we talk about how language intersects first with gender and sexuality and also with NAGPRA and repatriation. Links

Archaeology and Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host Maureen Carroll speaking on "Making Wine for the Emperor on the Roman Imperial Estate at Vagnari (Italy) with Maureen Carroll". This talk took place on Thursday, April 29th, 2021, online via Google Meets. Maureen is a Roman archaeologist whose key research interests are Roman burial practices, funerary commemoration, and Roman childhood and family studies. She headed up the British team participating in a large EU-funded multi-national project (DressID) on Roman textiles and clothing, her focus being on dress and identity in funerary portraits on the Rhine and Danube frontiers. A further area of interest is the topic of Roman garden archaeology, on which she has published extensively. More recently, Maureen has studied the role of women in votive religion in early Roman Italy. She has directed excavations in Germany, Italy, Tunisia, and Britain. Her current fieldwork project, funded by the British Academy/Leverhulme Trust, the Roman Society, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Rust Family Foundation, is the exploration of a Roman rural estate in imperial possession from the first to the third century A.D. at Vagnari in Puglia (Italy).

In this edition of Our Ruined Lives, Morgan Kinney, a graduate student at Adams State University, joins the hosts to talk about his career in cultural resources management. Morgan is pursuing an M.A. in CRM, which provided an opportunity for the hosts to discuss the differences between a CRM-based M.A. and a general Anthropology M.A. We close the episode with a discussion on Morgan's experiences in Archaeology Sci-Comm through TikTok. Morgan's TikTok, archaeowolf, is one of the most engaged archaeology-centered accounts on the platform, and the hosts are curious about how Morgan combats against pseudo-science and how he addresses questions from the public. Also, Carlton goes on a tangent about Morgan's aircraft content.

We haven’t covered much archaeology from the Amazon Basin on the show, but this week, that changes! Instead of being the primitive groups early European explorers reported on, people lived in the Amazon Basin region for thousands of years by adapting to their landscape as well as modifying their environment to suit their needs! Somehow, we suspect that you, listeners, are not shocked. Links

This week on The Archaeology show, we discuss 3 recently published Archaeology Articles and stories in the news. First, Neanderthals are back in the news, again! It seems like there is something new about Neanderthals, and this time it is the discovery of 9 individuals with gnawed bones found in an Italian cave. Second, new research uses chemistry to identify beer and wine residue in ancient Sicilian jars. And finally, new research looking at the diet composition of ancient humans, as compared with modern humans. Links

Dr. Jesse Tune joins Chris and Paul to talk about their favorite subject: Drones! Don't play the drinking game on this one. We can't be held responsible! Anyway, Dr. Tune has a fantastic program that actually prepares his students to pass the FAA Part 107 exam and teaches them about using the right tool for the right job. Dr. Tune is a prehistoric archaeologist who studies Ice Age human migrations and the colonization of new landscapes. His research focuses on investigating the relationships between humans and the environment – specifically how humans adapt to new or changing environments. His current research involves documenting the early human occupation of the Colorado Plateau, investigating lithic technology in the Southeast United States, and studying how humans adapt to resource accessibility.

This episode is a bit different. Dr. Garfinkel discusses and sketches his latest unpublished research into some new and rather revolutionary interpretations of Coso rock art. Coso rock art is located in eastern California and represents some of the greatest concentrations of rock art in the entire Western Hemisphere. It is surprisingly realistic and representational. We will dive into ancient archaic Utoaztecan religious thought and look at the relationships between Coso the American Southwest and into Mesoamerica! Links California Rock Art Foundation Contact

This episode dives into the world of the British Empire - as it is viewed in Britain and the lingering narratives that surround it. Today's guest is Kim A Wagner, Professor of Global and Imperial History, who discusses the reality of the British Empire and challanges the "balance sheet" view of history which sees historical events as simply "good" or "bad".
We also get on to the topic of the culture war that seems to be happening in the UK when it comes its own colonial legacy and in particular adherence to the reminders of that past in the forms of statues and names of buildings and colleges.

Dr. Pelton first appeared on the show as the featured guest for Episode 1, almost two years ago! We dive into the responsibilities of being the Wyoming State Archaeologist and how it differs from most other State Archaeology Offices. Following up on that conversation, we discuss Spencer's current research projects as the State Archaeologist, and some of the more interesting calls he receives from the Wyoming public. The episode concludes with a dialogue about the late Dr. George Frison. We talk about why he was so significant to the field of archaeology and his legacy at the University of Wyoming and Plains Archaeology. Dr. Pelton's media recommendations:

In this special edition of the A Life in Ruins Podcast, Carlton co-hosts an episode with Emily Van Alst, Ash Boydston-Schmidt, and Kay Mattena. The four discuss the recent SAA controversy surrounding the "Curation, Repatriation, and Accessibility: Vital Ethical Conversations" session. Specifically, the “Has Creationism Crept Back into Archaeology?” presentation. The four Indigenous scholars discuss their thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the content of the presentation, their disappointment in the SAA for platforming the talk, the future of the SAA, and how the society can improve its ethics and better support its Indigenous scholars. Lastly, they discuss the fallout from the presentation and how some non-Indigenous scholars are taking advantage of Indigenous trauma to further their own careers, and how non-Indigenous scholars can truly be allies to Indigenous people.

The ghost dance was a revitalistic movement that was most popular in the 1870s and 1890s. The religious leaders of the ghost dance movement were religious specialists who dreamed a prophetic vision. That vision included that the world was to be remade over and that the dead would come back to life and the world would returnTo the way it was before your Americans entered their lands. To usher in that New World native people were to dance around dance for several days day and night and that by praying and dancing and singing this would bring in a new world of peace and prosperity. Anthropologist and archaeologist have identified about two dozen rock art sites that appear to commemorate or document this time of the religious movement of the ghost dance. He’s historic paintings are in many colors and depict dancers and the return of animals and plants and the return of the dead. The paintings also document and portray the principal religious beliefs of now the participants in the movement which include a layered cosmos a depiction of the Thunderbird BighornSheep and other animals and a central white horse image.

First, an extremely well preserved city in Luxor Egypt has been discovered and dated to the reign of Amenhotep III. Next, LiDAR helps researchers discover a new monument in Tikal that appears to be influenced by the people of Teotihuacan, the future conquerers of Tikal. And finally, archaeologists in Maryland believe they have found the home of Ben Ross, Harriet Tubman's father. Links

But for now, we're all horses, all the time. Amber gives you an unbridled (har!) look at the Hittite Horse Training Texts, which are much more than just Kikkuli (remember him?). After that, we veer from horsemanship to horse-man-’ship. First there’s a glimpse into the legal mind of the Hittites, and then some interesting commonalities across Indo-European societies and an overview of equine lives in antiquity. Ohhh neigh. Links

The hosts discuss four hypotheses for the arrival of humans into the New World: Beringian Land Bridge, Coastal Highway, Solutrean, and Oceanic. They discuss the early Paleoindian site complexes such as Folsom and Clovis in which David (allegedly) reveals the existence of the Clovis Organized Crime Syndicate. A large part of the episode centers around "pre-Clovis" sites and whether they would belong to the Coastal Highway or Solutrean hypotheses. According to Carlton, the Solutreans crossed the Atlantic to get that sweet, sweet Old Bay seasoning. #OldBayAllDay We wrap up the show with a discussion about which hypotheses each host believes explains the archaeological record best.

This is a special episode of The Archaeology Show hosted by Tristan Boyle. Recently it was announced that a Benin Bronze, a statue head of an "Oba" or king, would be returned from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland to Nigeria. Head of Special Collections, Neil Curtis describes the process of repatriating the item as well as what that means for other items in the collection. Recently a number of books have been published that talk about the punitive expedition of 1897, where the British razed the city of Benin (modern day Nigeria) and looted various items from the people of Benin. Over the years, these cultural items were bought or taken into many museums, including the British Museum, National Museum of Scotland and Berlin Museum. Dan Hicks' recent book The Brutish Museums (Interviewed on Modern Myth) and Barnaby Philip's Loot both describe the violent removal of the Benin Bronzes by the British and where they are held today. Neil, however, makes the point that repatriating items back to communities is not a reactive process, and that this item in question had been in discussion for a while. Links

Archaeology and Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host Chris Corker speaking on "Making the Armaments Centre of the World (1860-1914)". This talk took place on Thursday, March 25th, 2021, online via Google Meets. Chris is a business historian and lecturer in Management at the York Management School. He has researched the steel and armaments industry in Sheffield for over a decade and is now branching into research on the metalworking industries in the Hallamshire area from the late 13th Century to the present. He completed his PhD in business history at Sheffield Hallam University in December 2016, titled ‘The Business and Technology of the Sheffield Armaments Industry 1900-1930’. The following year he was awarded the annual Coleman Prize for excellence in new business history research by the Association of Business Historians for his doctoral work. In 2019 he was awarded an Emerald Literati award for his work in the Journal of Management History, and in 2020 was awarded a Vice Chancellors Teaching Award from the University of York for an outstanding contribution to teaching and learning. On Remembrance Sunday in 2018 Chris curated the ‘Sheffield’s Great War’ event at the Sheffield City Hall Memorial Hall in aid of the Royal British Legion, and also worked as an advisor to the ‘Made in Great Britain’ series which aired the same year on BBC2. In the last two years Chris has presented research on Sheffield steel and armaments companies at international business and economic history conferences in Montreal, Canada; Oklahoma City, USA; Detroit, USA; Jyvaskyla, Finland; and across the UK.

Is it necessary or beneficial to get a phD? A masters degree is often required to advance your career in CRM, but is it necessary to go all the way to a PhD? On this episode, the crew discusses PhD programs for CRM professionals; their shortcomings, as well as the beneficial skills that can be learned. Join Masters Heather and Stephen as they discuss this topic with Doctors Bill and Doug.

In this week’s archaeology news, we discuss three articles that captured our attention! The first is all about the ancient Dahka fabric, how it was produced, and how that knowledge has been lost to time. The second is an article about a Bohemian grave in the Czech Republic with unique grave goods. And the final story is about an ancient bone tool found in Australia. Links

Today's epsiode is all about mutual aid, anarchism and archaeology. I sat down recently with Aris Politopolis and Colleen Morgan, both of whom are members of The Black Trowel Collective. We discuss what the BTC does and in particular the function of its microgrants, which provide $5-$300 in grants to students of archaeology, with no questions asked. We also talk about the ways in which anarchism has influenced this kind of work and what "anarchaeology" may mean in terms of working with others. You can find out more about Black Trowel Collective by visiting the website https://blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/ or their Twitter http://twitter.com/blacktrowel Dr. Aris Politopoulos - Twitter Dr. Colleen Morgan - Twitter
Amber and Anna examine how different ancient cultures viewed children and childhood. We’ll also discuss how the archaeological interpretation of the lives of children in the ancient past has shifted as we’ve gained more and more evidence. Links

This week in archaeology news we discuss three archaeology stories int he news. First up is an ancient hazelnut shell found in Scotland that has been radiocarbon dated to more than 10,000 years ago. Second, we discuss the growing evidence for Neandertal, Denisovan and early Homo Sapien collaborations and sharing of ideas that contributed to an explosion of creativity and art. Finally, Pompeii is back in the news! This time an intact ceremonial chariot was discovered, and we discuss this contribution to what we know about Pompeiian society in 79 CE. Links

Archaeology and Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host David Templeman speaking on "An Exploration of Sheffield's Ancient Village Suburbs with David Templeman". This talk took place on Thursday, February 25th, 2021, online via Google Meets. David is a retired businessman, having worked in the leisure trade most of his working life. With a lifelong interest in history, on retirement, he indulged that passion by joining Sheffield Manor Lodge initially as a guide. Since then he has become an accomplished speaker giving talks all over the country on Elizabethan history with local connotations. In 2016, he became an author when his book “Mary, Queen of Scots the Captive Queen in England 1568-87” was launched to critical acclaim. The book has now sold just under 3,000 copies and has become recognised as the definitive version of the English captivity of Mary, Queen of Scots. David is a Member of the Marie Stuart society of which he has developed close links. He is also chair of the Friends of Sheffield Manor Lodge, which has almost 400 Members, with the current Earl of Shrewsbury as their patron. Over the last few years, David has devoted his research into bringing the old Sheffield- the one prior to the 19th century back into the public domain with a number of very popular talks, none more so than the Ancient Suburbs series.

In this edition of Our Ruined Lives, we are pleased to have Erina Baci return to the Podcast. Erina first appeared on Episode 7, way back in October 2019. We begin the show by catching up with her on what she has been up to since she first appeared on the podcast. We then delve into a discussion on the importance of geography and resources to people in the past, modern geopolitics, and how modern issues affect our current understanding of the past. This leads us to discuss an upcoming Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Albania and the potential implications of the MoU for Balkan Cultural Preservation. We close out the episode with Erina serving up some awesome advice for future and current graduate students. Erina's Literature Recommendations:

The 2020 field season was largely shortened by COVID - field schools were almost completely shut down. Even though we all played along like 2021 was going to be different, it looks like many field schools are already canceled. While this is happening CRM firms are demanding that university programs train students to know what CRM firms want them to know. The answer is obvious: CRM firms should train students in CRM though internships and partner programs. This week...on the CRM Archaeology Podcast.

In this episode, we are pleased to introduce Maria Diget Sletterød, a Danish archaeologist studying the Pre-pottery Neolithic in the Near East at the University of Copenhagen. We start off with a brief introduction as to how the hosts found Maria which was through an Archaeologists in Quarantine episode with Carlton hosted by Tash. Then we delve into her diverse archaeological research and excavation projects and how she has worked all across the Near East and Europe. David and Maria swap stories about visiting/working in Israel. We follow up with a discussion on Maria's thesis work and where the discipline of archaeology fits in the Danish educational system and what exactly is the "Pre-pottery Neolithic". We close the episode out by asking Maria about what it's like to work in the Near East, a region that is known in the American media for being geopolitically tenuous. Contact For Guest:

This week, we're exploring Arthurian legend, and some of the...unique legacies it has left behind. We firmly establish that Arthur had TWO different swords. We also confirm that no, Robin Hood was not a Knight of the Round Table. Plus, the Yelp review that made Amber laugh until she cried. Links

For the last few months we’ve been talking about a new type of episode and here’s the first one: welcome to Timelines. This idea is all about taking an anchor event or time period that pretty much everyone has heard about and then looking at what was happening in other parts of the world at the same time. The idea is that sometimes these big anchor events can overshadow other really important things. Our first episode has the building of the pyramids at Giza in Egypt as the anchor. We also talk about what’s happening in Peru and China at the same time. Links

David Sucec is Director of the Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) Rock Art of Utah. BCS is one of the more remarkable rock art expressions in North America. It dates from as early as 7,000 to 2,000 years ago and is mainly a polychrome painted style. The patterned expressions adorn the dramatic canyons of the spectacular Utah topography. The images are haunting and consist of very small but many times very large images of decorated and "floating" spirit figures. Sucec has dedicated over 30 years to the proper recording of this world class rock art tradition through detailed photographic imaging. Our discussion will focus on why has Barrier Canyon rock been so evocative and intriguing. We are honored to have Sucec share the story of his odyssey with BCS!

We are now uploading video versions of the podcast to our YouTube channel thanks to Zencastr's new video podcast component. You can find the video version of this episode by going to our YouTube Channel "A Life in Ruins" A Life In Ruins Youtube In this episode, the guys gather around their mics and webcams to talk about a recent email they received at the beginning of the new year and the impact it had on them. In the second segment, they actually begin to talk about archaeology through a conversation about the PC game Dawn of Man. This leads the guys down a path to talking about how cultural evolution is portrayed in popular gaming and a hypothetical discussion regarding what would the Americas have looked like if Europeans hadn't arrived in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Welcome to another archaeology news episode! We have three stories to discuss this week. We start with what’s basically an ancient beer factory in Egypt. Then we travel to Stonehenge in England to talk about the origin of the inside circle of stones called the Bluestones. Finally, we look at an ancient Chinese City that archaeologists have spent many years excavation. We discuss these articles from the perspective of an archaeologist to show how a skeptical and scientific perspective can clear up what journalists think is important about recent discoveries. Links

Today’s podcast features returning guest Dr. Antoinette Jackson, Professor Department of Anthropology Chair at the University of South Florida. We go in depth about her new book Heritage, Tourism, and Race: The Other Side of Leisure. This book was written in response to the common question, “Why are there so few minority visitors to National Parks?”. In response, Dr. Jackson challenges mainstream beliefs about leisure and race, as well as highlighting African American active and diverse pursuits of leisure in spite of the legal and social exclusion. We explore the original enslaved African caving history at Mammoth Cave, the Green Book, Black entrepreneurship, and Black beaches during segregation. We close out by discussing how COVID-19 reframes the concepts of space and exclusion for those who have maybe never had to think about it before, as well as where Dr. Jackson sees the Black Lives Matter movement taking the conversations and hopes present within the book.

On this episode of A Life in Ruins podcast, we have a bonfire chat with YouTuber and Neolithic advocate, Stefan Milo. If you’re not familiar with Stefan, we introduced him in Episode 20. Or you may know him from his popular YouTube channel, “Stefan Milo.” We talk about the recent growth of Stefan’s channel and how he has now become the first full-time anthropology YouTuber! We then quickly get into the Great Paleolithic-Neolithic War of 2020. This began as a meme and took off. It was fun for both our followers to follow and share along with. We later have a serious discussion about the differences between the two periods and what it means for human history. Contact For Stefan Milo

This week's episode is a listener-sponsored one! Ancient hunter-gatherers are often painted as egalitarian, with all members contributing to the needs of the group. But what does evidence from prehistory say about things like access to nutrition, or care for the sick or injured? Are there cases where some individuals were clearly treated differently from others?

On this month’s podcast we have Dorothy FireCloud, J.D. Ms. FireCloud is the National Park Service’s Native American Affairs Liaison, Assistant to the Director in the Washington DC office, and a member of the Sicangu Lakota [Rosebud Sioux Tribe]. Ms. FireCloud describes her career ladder in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Forest Service, and the National Park Service leading to where she is today. She gives her perspective on continuing the Lakota role of caretaker in her previous positions as Acting Deputy Forest Supervisor at Black Hills National Forest and Superintendent at Devils Tower National Monument. We also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted tribal consultations, what she would like to accomplish in her current position, and paths people can take if they are interested in federal careers. We end out the interview with a few stories about how the National Park Service has improved when it comes to making Indigenous guests feel welcome and how that only takes two simple words: Welcome Home.

For this episode, the two co-hosts sit down with Dr. Steve Lekson to discuss the legacy and impact of Chaco after the peak of its influence in the Southwest around A.D./C.E. 1050. We hear about the famed “Chaco Meridian” and the role of archaeology as part of the “Colonial Package”. We explore interpretations regarding where Chacoan peoples moved to after Chaco and where they went after that too. Dr. Lekson stresses the importance of inter-regional archaeological investigation and thinking about the big picture when it comes to archaeological research. Finally, Dr. Lekson makes a prediction on the future of Southwest archaeology and the legacy of his research. Links

In this episode of Site Bite’s Season 1, we bring on Paul Reed to spar with Rob Weiner over varying interpretations of Chacoan archaeology. Paul starts off by reflecting on his early career working with the Navajo Nation from the late 80’s to early 2000’s and how that has shaped his perspectives on the need for Indigenous collaboration in archaeological research. The major debates we discuss are: the productivity of agriculture, population density, and the role of Great Houses at Chaco. After our professional debate, Paul talks to us about his ongoing activist work with Indigenous Groups, Federal agencies, and archaeological groups on protecting our archaeological heritage, such as Chaco, from energy development projects.

On the second episode of Site Bite’s Podcast season one, Carlton and Rob talk with Dr. Cathy Cameron about the origins of Chaco. We dive into the contemporary interpretations of where the people came from behind the monumental structures at Chaco as well as what the area was like before Chaco became a center of ritual and political influence. We discuss the broader Chacoan world such as Mesoamerican relations and Chacoan outlying settlements in the Southwest. We conclude this conversation with Dr. Cameron with her research on captive taking in small-scale societies and how that relates to Chacoan population demographics. Links

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Maddy McAllister, a maritime archaeologist with the Museum of Tropical Queensland. Dr. McAllister is known for her educational Instagram account, @shipwreckmermaid. As Dr. McAllister is an Aussie, we naturally first have a conversation about the differences between our endemic wildlife and the hazards of working in the wild. This is followed by a discussion of how Dr. McAllister, and other underwater archaeologists, plan out their projects, record data, and conduct their research. We also have some salty discussions of sailing stories, shipwrecks, and other things that blow Connors and Carlton's minds. David was literally born on an island -he gets it.

Seasons greetings! And by that we mean we're wrapping up 2020 by sitting down with Dr. Chris Stantis, who uses stable isotope analyses to learn how people lived in the ancient past. We discuss the real story of the Hyksos Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period in Egypt. Were they the pushy invaders they've been made out to be? Or is there more to the story? (There's more to the story). Not only ALL THIS, but Dr. Stantis convinces Amber and Anna to love those pesky little atoms--stable isotopes! Links

This week, Amber takes Anna on a guided tour of her beloved Arabia. Learn about the varied mountains, deserts, and oases that are nowhere near as empty or inactive as Western explorers might have you believe. We examine the archaeology of Tell Abraq, get scammed by a guy named Ea-Nasir, solve the mystery of Magan (hint: not actually a mystery), and share insights from skeletal remains about community care and compassion thousands of years ago. Disappointingly, we still don't know what Dilmun onions are. Links

Dr. Jonathan Marks has written numerous books on anthropology, genetics, and has begun to write about racism and similar topics in science. Chris talks to him about his last book on scientific racism and his upcoming book about creationism. This is a great discussion about things that we don't talk about much in anthropology and the sciences, but should. Jonathan Marks is Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he has taught since the beginning of the present millennium, after brief stretches at Yale and Berkeley. His primary training is in biological anthropology and genetics, but his interests are broad, and he has published on the topics of human origins and human diversity across the sciences and humanities from American Anthropologist to Zygon. In 2006 he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2012 he was awarded the First Citizen’s Bank Scholar’s Medal from UNC Charlotte. In recent years he has been a Visiting Research Fellow at the ESRC Genomics Forum in Edinburgh, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, and a Templeton Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Notre Dame. His work has received the W. W. Howells Book Prize and the General Anthropology Division Prize for Exemplary Cross-Field Scholarship from the American Anthropological Association, and the J. I. Staley Prize from the School for Advanced Research. His most recent book is called Is Science Racist? (Polity Press), and next one is called Why Are There Still Creationists?. And although he has written books called What it Means to be 98% Chimpanzee and Why I am Not a Scientist, he is somewhat paradoxically about 98% scientist, and not a chimpanzee. Links

This week, Amber and Anna delve into the massive site of the first Chinese Emperor's burial complex. Were there flowing rivers of mercury? Maybe. Are there thousands of terra cotta soldiers? Definitely. Do we understand how metal detectors work? Kind of! Plus, some thumb-related Art Crime, and Anna finally apologizes for attributing Hey Ya to Snoop Dogg when it is absolutely by Outkast. How embarrassing. WARNING: Episode contains spoilers for Waiting for Godot. Links

Grey literature is the term for CRM reports that languish behind restrictions in agency file cabinets. How do we change that? How do we talk about archaeology while maintaining confidentiality for our clients and native peoples who’s land we’re working on and exploring?

When people think of Space Archaeology, and many of us do, our thoughts often drift towards the moon landing sites or the numerous rovers on Mars. And while those are of archaeological interested there are other sites we may not have thought about. Our guest, Dr. Justin Walsh, talks to us today about space law and ownership and about the project he’s working on with Dr. Alice Gorman (Dr. Space Junk) regarding the International Space Station.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Jacqueline Paul (Ngapuhi, Ngati Tuwharetoa, and Ngati Kahungunu ki Heretaunga), Māori Landscape Architect, Lecturer at the School of Architecture and Researcher at Ngā Wai a Te Tūi Māori and Indigenous Research Centre at Unitec. We talk about representation and including diverse perspectives into your work (and not forgetting to include young people!). We also talk about the Maori concept of home and how Maori and Western perspectives are coming together. Also, how to advocate for change, including homelessness and it’s disparate effects. Finally, this episode was recorded in early April 2020, so naturally we were talking about COVID-19. We talked about culture and home, as well as how privilege affects your experience and structural violence within a pandemic. Links

This week, Anna and Amber engage in some light speleology to give you a glimpse of the Ellora Caves--a shared Hindu, Buddhist and Jain sacred site in India. What makes a place feel sacred and special, and why are so many caves viewed as sacred places around the world and throughout time? Plus, Amber's review of Werner Herzog's opus In the Cave of Forgotten Dreams. We are all crocodiles looking back into the abyss of time, friends. Links

Recently, new evidence for Neolithic fabric was found impressed on a sherd in the Orkney Islands. In an area where the environment is not conducive to preservation of textile, archaeologists must look for evidence in unconventional ways. Recently, a team from The University of the Highlands and the Islands in Scotland used Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) to identify the impression of woven fabric on a sherd. Chris and Rachel discuss the fabric impression, how it could have been made, and what the broader implication are of this discovery. Links

On this episode of A Life in Ruins podcast, we interview Dr. Marissa Molinar. She studies the practices, and products of prehistoric art, through an evolutionary, social, and aesthetic lens. She gave an excellent talk at the APN Educational Expo (APN AEX 2020) about her work and she also had a pretty sweet zoom background. We get deep into her research on rock art and her methods of comparing different rock art panels. She details the complicated process of getting permission to survey on military lands and also how she got into anthropology and archaeology. We also have a discussion about representation in archaeology and the effects of colonialism in public education. Contact

This week, Anna and Amber have dealt you an excellent hand of examples of gambling, and the archaeology and anthropology thereof! Listeners, we hope you'll bear with us on this episode. We recorded on day three of the 2020 electoral vote counts, and we've both lost our minds. Come along on this ride with us as we explore what evidence we have for gambling in the archaeological record, and what we can learn from the types of games people play. Links

Here's one that is a bit different. Did you know that Native California Indians were part of a basketry boom? From about 1890 to 1940 Native people produced some of the most spectacular basketry ever crafted in the world. These masterpiece baskets include imagery and embedded metaphor that is also recognized in our rock art record throughout California and the Great Basin. Gene Meieran one of the authors of an upcoming book by Sunbelt Press will be our guest to discuss how such a volume was created and the treasures produced by California Indians and where these artistic treasures can be seen. The interview will spotlight what it means to Native people to see their ancestors stories, photographs, and art showcased in such a magnificent visual feast! Tune in.

Today's episode is in response to a listener question in which the listener asked why we continue to do CRM even though we always talk about the hardships. What drives you? Is it a passion for history? A love of the outdoors? What drives you to settle for low per diem, bad pay, no benefits, and double-occupancy hotel room? Let us know in the comments. Listener question: From James at NASA...As to what I would like to hear in CRM, as a member of the public, I would like to understand more of the reason people continue to work in the field despite the hardships. I mean, is there knowledge before they get a degree that this is hard when they do the field work? What is the dropout rate? Is it just in people’s blood to do this, like sailors who need to be on the ocean despite the risk? Also, fundamentally, is CRM just trying to meet regulations (do a job and get paid) or is it actually resulting in stopping/relocating the ventures that initiated them (highway, shopping mall, homes)?

This week, we look at the roots of the phenomenon, the history behind some of the most famous instances, and Indigenous responses to the trope. Plus, Amber serves the worst Maine accent while trying to explain the plot of Pet Sematary, and bullies you all into checking out her Book Club recs. Links

It is always important to be open to hearing both when things go well and also when there are serious issues. In the UK, there is a feeling that systemic racism is either overemphasised or poses no real threat. However this ignorance leads to those who experience racism having to be suffer and work harder in order to have a normal life or employment.
In this conversation I am speaking to Phoenix Archer who gained a certification in Conservation with Historic Environment Scotland, a traineeship facilitated by the Next Step Initiative. Next Step provide opportunities for BAME individuals for traineeships and training in Scotland.
Phoenix tells me about her experiences at HES, based at the Engine Shed in Stirling, Scotland. She tells me about the difficulties of moving to a new city, living in a hostel before find accommodation as well as experiencing harassment at work. Despite writing letters to her managers, and making it known that she felt uncomfortable, it all seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Phoenix works for several organisations, including St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen, Ahead of the Game - Application and CV services and new in October BIPOC and them some, which seeks to highlight BIPOC representation in arts and Media.

Dr. Ed Krupp is Director of the Griffith Astronomical Observatory in Los Angeles, California. He is a world class scholar and is a pioneer in the study of how indigenous people, the world over, relate to the cosmos, saw the celestial realm and provided prehistoric astronomical observatories as sun, moon, and star watchers. These activities are of course memorialized in rock art and in rock features constructed on the land to view the heavens and predict important seasonal changes in the sky world. Links

Universities are in trouble in 2020. There were generally no field schools over the summer and in-person classes are a thing of the past. Also, many universities are not excepting graduate students until further notice. To continue to be a for-profit institution some are turning to field archaeology and CRM. What will that do to the business of archaeology? Doug Rocks-Macqueen leads the crew on that discussion this week.

On this month’s podcast we have Dr. Ashley Spivey, Executive Director of Kenah Consulting and enrolled member of the Pamukey Indian Tribe. We start out talking about Ashley continuing her family legacy of maintaining her community’s heritage through material culture. Dr. Spivey also talks about the recent recognition of 7 Virginia tribes despite Virginia’s paper genocide and their historic erasure. While normally only recognized related to the first English settlements in America as the Powhatan Chiefdom, she discusses Virginia tidewater Indigenous communities’ long and vibrant role throughout American history. Finally we discuss her current work through Kenah Consulting to build tribal capacity in Virginia and across the US to support sovereignty and self-determination. They assist in building lasting capacity through federal acknowledgement, land claims, natural resource rights, cultural resource management planning, program development, and grant writing. Photos include a photo of Dr. Spivey, a photo of the front façade of the Pamunkey Indian Museum and Cultural Center, and two photos from archaeological excavations at the Raymond Bush Site on the Reservation. This research was funded through the Society for American Archaeology Native America Graduate Student Scholarship and formed the foundation of her dissertation research. The two photos from this excavation include one of Dr. Spivey and her grandfather, Warren Cook, and one of the excavation team comprised of Pamunkey and Mattaponi tribal members and a William and Mary colleague.

On this episode we talk to Dr. Tirtha Mukhopadhyay about his career in rock art. From his homeland of Calcutta, India, to continued graduate studies in Texas, and his current research working out of Guanajuato University in Mexico. They take a deep dive into the mysteries surrounding the relationships of science and religion. Our guest scholar provides up to date thinking on how our minds process images and create emotions relating to our understanding of deities. We delve into just what rock art images mean and how they affect the emotional states of its viewers. Finally, we provide some working hypotheses on what those animal-human figures depicted in prehistoric rock art communicate in terms of their compound metaphors as shamans, ancestors, and deities.

A half-a-million-year-old internationally significant archaeological site in Sussex, England, offers unprecedented insights into the life of a poorly understood extinct human species, according to new UCL research. The findings of a meticulous study led by UCL Institute of Archaeology are detailed in a ground-breaking new book ‘The Horse Butchery Site’, published by UCL Archaeology South-East’s ‘Spoilheap Publications’. The study pieces together the activities and movements of a group of early humans as they made tools, including the oldest bone tools documented in Europe, and extensively butchered a large horse 480,000 years ago. Project lead, Dr Matthew Pope (UCL Institute of Archaeology) is our guest today. Links The Horse Butchery Site: a high resolution record of Lower Palaeolithic hominin behaviour at Boxgrove, UK.

In this episode Dr. Alan Garfinkel talks with Peter W. Merlin - an acclaimed author, researcher, rock art explorer, adventurer, freelance journalist, and historian. Merlin has extensive and personal knowledge of rock art resources world-wide and is the author of books for both general and technical audiences. Merlin has appeared in more than a dozen television documentaries on the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, and his public speaking includes numerous presentations. Merlin will trace his personal background in archaeology, anthropology, and rock art studies and will do a quick overview of his world-wide travels in rock art visitation, discovery, and documentation. We will focus in on his visits and reflections on the UNESCO world heritage rock art sites in the Tassili n'Ajjer - a vast desert plateau in southern Algeria, stretching from the borders with Niger and Libya and covering an area of 72,000 sq. km. Since their discovery, more than 15,000 petroglyphs and paintings have been identified representing 10,000 years of human history and environmental change.

This episode was a privileged to record, I sat down with Ajayi Boluwaji, an archaeology based in Nigeria to talk about the similarities and differences when working in that part of the world. We discuss the colonial hangover that has greatly affected the perception of archaeology as well as the perceived economic disadvantage to doing archaeology. Ajayi describes how community archaeology is the way forward, in order to unravel and better interpret the past in Nigeria, by connecting people to their heritage and demonstrate the capability of the populations who lived in Nigeria, hundreds or thousands of years ago.
He describes how his Yoruba heritage informs the work he does and where his passion for archaeology comes from. We also discuss what archaeologists around the world can do to help and support their colleagues in Nigeria. For more information you can find
I ask about regional differences in archaeology and about conferences that happen in Nigeria for archaeologists.

This is a crossover episode with Rachel Roden and Historical Yarns! Recently, evidence of twisted cord was discovered on a Neanderthal archaeological site. While the exact use of this cord is unknown, we discuss our theories for how Neanderthals could have applied this technology to everyday life. Most importantly, this discovery contributes to breaking down the myth that Neanderthals were technologically inferior to their human contemporaries. Links

On Episode 27 of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Robert L. Kelly. Dr. Kelly was all the cohosts thesis advisor at the University of Wyoming. Dr. Robert L. Kelly wrote the book, The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum, on hunter-gatherer archaeology and the mathematical proofs behind it. He was involved in early research at Gatecliff Rockshelter and then he continued on to influence archaeological theory for the rest of his career. He writes a regular textbook with Dr. David Hurst Thomas named “Archaeology” (latest edition). He has also written a book on the future of archaeology called The Fifth Beginning. We have a super interesting philosophical conversation about archaeology and its meaning. Bob recounts his early life and how he found his way out in the desert with David Hurst Thomas during his first days as an archaeologist. We then discuss his transition from Cornell to the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan, and have a lengthy discussion about his mentor, Lewis Binford and his eccentric life. The majority of the podcast however, is an in-depth conversation about anthropology, how the field has changed over the years, and what it means to be human.

Welcome to a special episode of the CRM Archaeology Podcast. On this episode, host of the show Dr. Bill White brings on a panel of career archaeologists to talk about diversity in archaeology. Not just diversity and the current situation, though, but what we, as a profession, can do about it.

It's your lucky day, punk. It's time to tear down walls and explore what the meaning of Punk Archaeology is and see what its perspective has to offer archaeology as a whole. I talk to Bill Caraher, who maintains the blog, Archaeology of the Mediterranean World and was also involved in the Archaeology Un-conference that spawned the book Punk Archaeology. We begin with his journey into archaeological through latin classes and then Classics, then after doing exams, decided to be an archaeologist. Bill has studied and worked in Greece at sites like Isthmia and led projects in Cyprus. We discuss working in different parts of the world and how archaeology can have a profound affect on local communities, especially if they feel part of the history making. Bill talks about working with temporary workers during and after the North Dakota oil boom, where resources were extracted from the Bakken formation. Hours of video, interviews and paper documentation were made in order to understand temporary living places and people's relation to place. Perhaps archaeology should be more open and encouraging, but in what ways can it develop if the same people are at the forefront? Bill also mentions that if anyone is interested in publishing that they should contact him or https://ndquarterly.org/
On this episode of Our Ruined lives, we giggle and chat with our good friend Alex Craib. Alex is a PhD student at the University of Wyoming studying under the same professor as all the cohosts did. We start off by delving through Alex’s career so far in archaeology and then get into a ridiculous series of stories about fieldwork with David, Connor and Carlton. We finish it out by having an intense discussion about mental health in academia and in archaeology specifically. We really hope everyone enjoys this episode! Contact

This week, for our ONE HUNDREDTH EPISODE, Anna and Amber bend their brains around the archaeology of the future and the future of archaeology. What will excavation look like in 100, 1,000, or 5,000 years? What about human evolution? Human culture? Language? We come up with more questions than answers, and have a great time doing it.

Archaeology around the world may be different but the different ways in which countries operate may surprise you in their similarities, particularly when it comes to the things that could be better. Today's episode I sit down with Michaela Schauer who was one of the founding members of CIfA Deutschland. As a relatively new organization in Germany, CIfA Deutschland used the blueprint laid out by Chartered Institute for Archaeologists in the UK and adapted it to what was needed in Germany. We discuss the challenges of getting people on board and how getting involved is a way of things changing and improving.There was recently a survey of archaeologists in Germany, including students and companies to report wages, conditions. One of their findings was that there are not enough archaeologists in Germany.There are a number of other organizations including DGUF (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Ur und Fruhgeschicte) which hertiage professionals can be part of, but CIfA aims to provide a broad coalition from all areas and subjects of study. Michaela tells me about her work on pottery and the chemical analysis that can be done to determine how they used and shine a light on early populations that lived on European continent.

Paul and Chris have been saying for years that there is no digital archaeology because that implies there is archaeology that does NOT have a digital component. Well, that just doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Our guests today, Parker VanValkenburgh and Andy Dufton helped bring a supplement about digital archaeology and the ethical considerations to the Journal of Field Archaeology. They come on today to talk about it. Parker VanValkenburgh is an archaeologist whose research focuses on landscapes, politics and environmental change in the Early Modern World – particularly, in late prehispanic and early colonial Peru. He received his Ph.D. in 2012 from Harvard University and previously held positions at the University of Vermont (Assistant Prof. of Anthropology, 2013-15) and Washington University in St. Louis (Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Modeling Interdisciplinary Inquiry, 2012-13). Among other projects, he is currently director of the Paisajes Arqueológicos de Chachapoyas (PACha) project, an investigation of long-term human-environment interaction in Peru's Chachapoyas region, grounded in the analysis of archaeological survey, archival research, remotely sensed datasets, and work with contemporary communities in the provinces of Luya, Chachapoyas, and Bongará, Amazonas (Peru). He is also a co-director of the GeoPACHA (Geospatial Platform for Andean Culture, HIstory and Archaeology). At Brown, he directs the Brown Digital Archaeology Laboratory (https://browndigitalarch.wordpress.com/) and teaches courses on Geographic Information Systems, cartography, critical digital archaeology, the politics of space and landscape, historical anthropology, and the archaeology and anthropology of the Andean region. Andrew Dufton is a Lecturer in Roman Archaeology and History at the University of Edinburgh. He received his PhD in Archaeology from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University, and previously held a position as a Visiting Assistant Professor at NYU's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. His research interrogates the long-term dynamics of urban change in North Africa, from the Iron Age into late antiquity. This work highlights the diversity, haphazardness, and improvisation that best characterise urban life in both ancient and modern contexts. He has excavated and surveyed at sites in the US, the UK, and across the Mediterranean, including acting as surveyor and geospatial data manager at the imperial villa and medieval monastery at Villa Magna (2006–2010); at the Tunisian city of Utica (2011–present); and with Brown University at Petra, Jordan (2012–14).

Steve Waller is an expert in the study of ArchaeoAcoustics. ArchaeoAcoustics is the study of sound in the prehistoric environment. Mr. Waller got his start in the caves of France while pursuing a passion for rock art study. One idea that Mr. Waller pursued was the idea that rock art was actually inspired by sound - specifically the sound in a cave. What Mr. Waller found was that the acoustic impacts of a location on rock art happen more often than anyone could have suspected. Links California Rock Art Foundation Contact

Archaeology is time travel. Full stop. When. you’re standing on a site holding an artifact it’s interesting to imagine what the landscape and environment was like when the person that created it was standing there. Our guest, Dr. Mark McCoy, is using maps and digital archaeology to envision archaeology as Time Travel. About Mark: Mark D. McCoy is an expert in geospatial archaeology and Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Southern Methodist University.

This episode we discuss a major part of American history that has been omitted from most history book across the United States. As having anthropological backgrounds which saw some of the beginnings of institutionalized racism, it is important to address history that has been brushed under the rug. This is seen with Sundown Towns. There were thousands of these towns across the United States dominating counties, cities, towns, suburbs... With current events regarding human rights and curfews, it is important to bring awareness to this "forgotten" history found in America. Links

On today's episode Chris, Stephen and Doug talk about the responsibility of recording history as it's happening around us. As the US explodes in protest over the murder of George Floyd archaeologists are wondering what to do about contentious history. What do we do with all the statues that really should come down? What do we do about the graffiti that is being created right now that represents the thoughts and emotions of protestors? These are tough questions and we try to answer them on this episode.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Natasha Myhal, a citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and a PhD candidate in the Department of Ethnic Studies at CU Boulder with an area of focus in Geography. Through the lens of Natasha’s academic and personal journey, Natasha and Jessica discuss community based research, traditional ecological knowledge/gikendaasowin (knowledge in Ojibwe), and ethnobotany. They further discuss the challenges of working across disciplines and how language shapes the way we understand and interact with the land. Of course, they also discuss her dissertation research which uses community based approaches to look at Little River Band of Ottawa Indians tribal natural resource management strategies that combine traditional Anishinaabe worldviews with existing management policies.

Paul and Chris talk to Wesley Weatherbee about his research in the Bay of Fundy. Using drones, photogrammetry and other analysis he is, among other things, looking at early human behavior and occupation. Wesley is a current graduate student in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Saint Mary's University. His research on past cultural landscapes in the Bay of Fundy marries remote sensing and geomorphology with archaeology. He serves on the board of directors for the Nova Scotia Archaeology Society and is part of a diverse team in Nova Scotia developed to investigate critical climate-related risks, opportunities, and capacities relating to archaeology in Nova Scotia. His photogrammetry work has recently been nominated to be in the Cultural Heritage Spotlight on Sketchfab.com. He also runs a blog at digitalarchns.com intending to promote digital archaeology outreach and education. Links Wesley’s Blog: digitalarchns.com

But we’re both back! We kicked off this podcast with Wolf Brother back in 2015 and now I get to talk to the author as she publishes a new book in the series, Viper’s Daughter, that sees Renn, Torak and Wolf journey to the far north and encounter new tribes, new dangers and the last surviving mammoths.

Today, the CRM Archaeology Podcast has the distinct honor of having as our guest cohost, Dr. Thomas King. Dr. King has been a giant in the field of heritage and cultural resource management for over 50 years and has not only been responsible for the education of countless students of CRM through his prolific authorship, but has had a hand in many of the laws and regulations we as CRM practitioners exercise everyday. Notably, Dr. King and his wife, Dr. Patricia Parker, while employed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in Washington DC from 1979-1989, wrote the National Register Bulletin 38, which has served as a U.S. government guideline document employed by many indigenous groups and local communities to protect their cultural heritage from destructive government projects. Dr. King's most recent book, Cultural Resource Management: A Collaborative Primer for Archaeologists, is an elegant and concise introduction to CRM aimed at emerging archaeologists. Although, it could be argued, since we should all be continuous students of all aspects of this discipline, that this book is an essential pocket guide to any level of archaeologist who respects the interdisciplinary and public policy elements of CRM.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Dr. Diane Menzies (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongowhakaata, & Aitanga a Mahaki), Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit and consultant on cultural landscape and Indigenous issues for Landcult Ltd. We discuss Landscape Architecture, western professional mono-culture, and how decolonization can lead to better cities. Dr. Menzies speaks to differing perspectives on landscapes as well as addressing different perspectives when mediating conflict relating to the land. Finally, we talk about how to better inform the public about these topics, including some of her works as examples. *ICOMOS GA mentioned in the episode was cancelled due to COVID19 travel restrictions.

We took paragraphs from two very out-of-date archaeology papers and took out lots of key words. Then, listeners sent in their own word lists, with which we filled in those paragraphs! The results were very silly, and we had a lot of fun! Stay tuned for upcoming live events, and come hang out with us on our stream!

Dr. D. Shane Miller is not your average southern boy. Rather, he is one of the more accomplished archaeologists in the country for his age, and currently is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Middled Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University. Shane started his career at the University of Tennessee where he got his undergraduate and his master’s degree conducting his thesis at the Topper Site. He later completed his PhD at the University of Arizona, and unfortunately, helped direct a field school in Nashville, Tennessee in which David was a young student. There is always a Sith and his master. We talk about Shane‘s career, some fun field stories, and have an interesting discussion about the field of anthropology in general. It was a blast. Links

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Dr. Chris Wilson, Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Australian Studies and Archaeology at Flinders University. In 2017, Dr. Wilson was the first Indigenous Australian to be awarded a PhD in Archaeology. Dr. Wilson tells how the discovery of family history/geneaology, family and community involvement, and the archaeology of whaling all tied together within his Ph.D research. Throughout the episode he also shows how the archaeological research being done in Australia today, including his own fascinating zooarchaeology work, is breaking down misperceptions of Indigenous Australians. Towards the end of the episode Dr. Wilson touches on Indigenous rights and repatriation in Australia. Note: This includes a brief (and disturbing) discussion on repatriation from anatomy labs. Links

Today we talk to Dr. Matthew Harpster about his recent collaborative paper in the Journal of Archaeological Science about modeling concentrations of maritime activity in the past using the submerged archaeological record. Here is the article abstract: With a goal of understanding and visualizing the shifting concentrations of movement across the Mediterranean Sea on a centennial basis, the MISAMS (Modeling Inhabited Spaces of the Ancient Mediterranean Sea) Project developed a new GIS-based interpretive methodology that collates and superimposes a series of polygons to model densities of maritime activity in the Mediterranean Sea from the 7th century BC to the 7th century AD. After discussing the project's use of place, space, and maritime landscapes as a theoretical background, this paper explains this new methodology then demonstrates and tests results representing activity in the 1st-century BC western-Mediterranean basin. These results, apparently manifesting distinct socially-constructed places, suggest that this new approach creates new opportunities to understand the movement of people and goods across the Mediterranean in the past, and the varying uses and perceptions of maritime space in antiquity. As this method requires a dense and well-studied corpora of archaeological data, it is theoretically applicable to other maritime regions that have (or will have) the appropriate dataset, and may represent a new research agenda in maritime archaeology.Links

The grass is always greener on the other side (of the Holocene). What is today a vast and inhospitable home to many people and creatures was, between ten and five thousand years ago, a lush environment replete with lakes, forests, and grasses. We examine the first clues that suggested a Green Sahara to researchers, explore the technologies and societies that lived there, and contemplate what the Sahara’s past might suggest about its future.

Only kidding, Tristan Johnson is the content creator behidn the Youtube channel StepBack History, which seeks to talk about history in a meaningful way. During this episode Tristan J outlines the reasons why he started the youtube channel and what he aims to achieve; how we reach out to certain audiences, especially those susceptible to alt-right indoctrination and sympathetic to right wing memes. We also cover how history is changed by who tells it and even talk about the End and now restart of History.

Today’s podcast hostage is Lana...Lana...Lanaaaaaaa Ruck. Lana is a dual Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Anthropology and Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University, Bloomington. She works at Olduvai Gorge as a student researcher at the Stone Age Institute, and she is an avid science communicator through IU's science blog, ScIU (@sciublog). Lana is a proud Texan, and got her B.A. in Anthropology at Texas Tech University and her M.A. at Florida Atlantic University. She has worked in Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Tanzania, focusing on stone tool technologies and toolmaking techniques. Lana is an interdisciplinary scientist and self-described "stone age neuroscientist." Her research combines brain imaging techniques with experimental archaeology to explore how our uniquely-human system of technology, language, and cognition evolved. Unfortunately, Lana allowed Carlton to be one of her participants for her dissertation research, and we are very excited to spill the tea on how that disaster went. Links Lana Ruck

Every year archaeologists create a wealth of data through fieldwork and research that is essential to our understanding and interpretation of the past. Despite the geographic character of much of that record, we consistently fail to realise its potential. Site plans and detailed survey data are routinely locked into the pages of PDF reports. As a result plans fossilised in print cannot easily be reused alongside other datasets to improve our understanding of the past. There is often no consistency in how mapped data can be combined across projects to map the archaeological landscape. We need to wake up to opportunities digital transformation presents us as archaeologists in presenting our data to a wide audience. Dr. Peter McKeague joins us to talk about this problem. Links

While Simona is away, Alex will play...and spend an entire episode flaunting her Star Wars knowledge. Does zooarchaeology exist in the Star Wars universe? And how can we somehow involve Baby Yoda in this conversation? Tune in to find out! Further Reading

General Discussion: Part 1
Disclaimer: I don't care about canon, this is gonna include expanded universe material.
Star Wars is All About Archaeology: A Thesis By Alex Fitzpatrick
And thus, Star Wars must ALSO be all about ZOOARCHAEOLOGY!
Fun Fact: Jedi Zooarchaeologists are (most likely) canon!
CONFIRMED: There are Star Wars zooarchaeology toys????
Dark and Light Sides: Why is Archaeology So Important to the Jedi and Sith? And how would zooarchaeology factor in?
General Discussion Part 2
What would space zooarchaeologists have to consider?
Differences in Pressure, Other Environmental Issues (Preservation in Hoth VS Preservation in Manaan?))
Different cultures per planet and issues of sentience - cultural aspects of creatures?
Do droids count? See: Droid Planet M4-78
What would be the point of zooarchaeology in the Star Wars Universe?
How does the Force factor into all this?
Jedi can integrate their bodies and life into the Force after death - can Force sensitive creatures do the same? How will that affect the zooarchaeological record?
See also: other forms of mysticism and how that interacts with the dead, like the Nightsisters on Dathomir who resurrect their mummified dead Case Studies (aka Favourite Star Wars Animals)

Chris is the cofounder of the Archaeological Podcast Network (APN), the network that produces and edits our shenanigans. We wanted to talk to him about the founding of the APN, how he maintains and keeps it going and where he sees it going in the future. We also wanted to get some information on his background! We also discuss the Register of Professional Archaeologists and future changes to their membership. We might also talk about the APN’s other cofounder, Tristan Boyle, and his lovely accent.

Oxygen Isotope analysis has long been used to analyze a person’s skeletal material to find out where they lived and sometimes how they lived. Until now, this has been on a large time scale - often of years and decades. Now, with this new research, some cases can be analyzed down to the month or even tighter. It’s amazing research and further opens our window to the past.

We continue our deep dive into a lengthy listener email with a discussion about what a job in archaeology looks like. What's the difference between a job and a career? What should you look for if you're trying to get a job in archaeology when it comes to graduate programs? We start, though, with a few comments from a twitter follower about episode 178.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Jon Shellenberger (Yakama), Yakama Nation Tribal Archaeologist. We talk first about his journey to become an archaeologist and ethnographer. In the second segment we talk about the work of the Yakama Nation to defend their inherent and treaty rights to fish, to protect tribal members from being prosecuted for having eagle and migratory bird feathers, and to re-establish their buffalo hunts in what is now Yellowstone National Park. Finally we talk about the projects he works on as the Yakama Tribal Archaeologist, what that looks like on a daily basis, and his larger vision for the program. Links

How and when did humans first use metals, and what can we learn about them? Some come straight from the ground, others from far, far away, some from a combination of raw materials, and some?

In this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the hosts have the honor of speaking with Dr. David A. Anderson of Radford University. Dr. Anderson is not only an accomplished Mesoamerican archaeologist, but also famous as a Scicomm writer and has a large twitter following. As you'll find out, Carlton used to study under Dr. Anderson and was a major influence on his career. It seems that he has grown past his days of youtube anthropology raps. David Ian Howe asks interesting questions regarding Dr. Anderson's research, while Connor self-deprecates about the host's collective status as "failed mayanists." However, the conversation ends on a poignant note regarding the culture of academia as well as science communication to the public. You can follow David Anderson on social media via @dsaarchaeology.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Dr. Kisha Supernant (Métis), Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alberta. You may remember Dr. Supernant from Heritage Voices Episode 30 on Cultural Landscapes. Dr. Supernant talks about how the indigenous experience in Canada differs from that in the US, including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We also talk about Métis identity and how it has been largely misunderstood. Finally, we talk about archaeology and identity, the real and complicated consequences of archaeology, and how to do archaeology right no matter the location and associated communities by working through an Archaeologies of the Heart approach.

We think of archaeologists' main activity as digging. But anybody who's ever done archaeology can tell you that, regardless of what kind of archaeology we do, writing is a far more important skill. Here on the ArchaeoTech Podcast we talk a lot about the tools that we use in the field, but we don't talk so much about the tools that we use to assemble our thoughts when the fieldwork is over. So today we'll dig into a class of often overlooked tools that we all rely on: word processors. Links

Archaeology is not just about buried treasure, post-excavation analysis or even what issues exist in modern academia. Sometimes in order for us to understand where we are, we must walk in someone else’s shoes or hear from their perspective. This month’s Modern Myth Episode, I speak with Arie Akkermans, art critic, lecturer and expert in classical Greek history. Arie lives in Turkey, on the Princes Islands and gives us an ear to the ground with respect to the modern and present conflicts in the middle east as well as the way in which history plays a role in justifying aggression as well as its effect on the culture of Istanbul. Nationalism is not confined to any one country and Arie speaks frankly on the ways in which Turkey has developed a layer of history that separates out what is focused on and what is discarded in the minds of the general public. Its not all serious though, we do have a wonderful interjection by Arie’ two cats, and he explains what it is like to be a cat in Istanbull. Arie writes for Hyperallergic and The Mantle, please see links for more of his work He is on Twitter @byzantinologue Host Tristan is @Anarchaeologist Follow the Network on @ArchPodNet 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE PODCAST NETWORK – DEC 2019 – Stay Tuned for extra content!

Spooky Scary archaeologists!
This podcast is an anthology of creative stories, all within the theme of Halloween and a little bit of heritage.
Content Warning: Body Horror, Depressive thoughts, violence.
The first story is "Mud", written and narrated by Tristan Boyle, it is the story of a field archaeologist who is confronting a sickening realisation. The next piece is a song called Nan Tuck, by Chalk Horse Music. Liz (of Chalk Horse Music) describes a witch legend in the County of Sussex where I live in the UK. It involves a woman that lived in the 16th century, Nan Tuck, which became the inspiration for this song. The final story, Eternal Rest, written by Tristan and read by Ellery Thomas tells of a museum conservator who's accidentally damage turns into horror.
Thanks to Liz and Ellery for their contributions, you can find their work at the following links:

In this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast, our hosts do something different. As opposed to interviewing an archaeologist and asking about their career, the hosts bring on zooarchaeologist Damian Kirkwood, whom they went to school with, and have a casual discussion about all things archaeology. While the conversation begins with Damian explaining his credentials, the show quickly devolves into discussions about archaeological media representation, including a discussion on Indiana Jones, the Prime Directive, and a salty, yet educated argument against the existence of Bigfoot. we’ve decided to call the segment “Our Ruined Lives”.” Oh, and don’t worry, we all agree that 10,000 BC is the worst film in cinema history.

This week, head south to the misty, mysterious island of Chiloé, Chile, where Amber tells Anna a story of a powerful cult of warlocks that held the island in their grip in the late 19th century CE. But, as in all good horror stories, the true villain is possibly something else entirely. Sit down for a hearty meal of the spookiest spaghetti and explore indigenous Mapuche governance, colonization, and whether the ghost stories of Chiloé might be more meaningful than they seem. Content warning: there is a brief scene describing graphic violence, but we’ll warn you when it’s time for sensitive ears to skip ahead. Links

We start with a definition of historical archaeology in segment one. The next two segments are about communication in archaeology. Are there really trade secrets? Should we be sharing information as well as business information? Follow Our Panelists On Twitter

Anna and Amber talk about animal bones and what you can learn from them about domestication! Learn about how selective breeding affects animals' bodies (and also learn that Amber is very afraid of pigs). We also take a detour into Spookytown with some bizarre Iron age animal burials, and top it off with a lovely story about a kitten.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, our three co-hosts reconvene after a summer of shenanigans while Carlton is fighting the effects of jet lag. Connor and David mention what they have been up to and Carlton talks about his trip gallivanting across Eastern Europe. Carlton has some tips for those wishing to travel with Juul pods (spoiler alert, do not travel with them unless you want them taken away from you) and questions the legitimacy of duck effigies mentioned by Connor.

For this episode, Alex and Simona delve into the realm of native and introduced species. How long does a certain species have to consistently live in a geographical location to be considered native? What do introduced species tell us about past populations? What is it with the Romans introducing a horde of animals to Britain? Are squirrels real? These are but few of the questions they shall attempt to answer.

This week, we’re talking ceramics!

This is a special announcement ahead of the Public Archaeology Twitter Conference (PATC4). "We hold these conferences in order to continue our attempts to challenge the conference status quo in terms of communication, diversity and inclusivity. Conference attendance has many issues, such as funding and accessibility, so these formats can contribute information which can be used to make archaeology safer and more accessible within as well as outside the profession. Conferences that cost over £400 to attend are no longer financially viable for most people. Conferences that charge large fees and discuss public and community archaeology are excluding the participants, communities and colleagues with whom we work who do not have access to travel and conference funds, those with caring responsibilities, those with disabilities, or simply those who do not have enough time to travel long distances. There needs to be an alternative." The hashtag for the September 2019 event will be #PATC4. https://publicarchaeologyconference.wordpress.com/

Episode 5’s guest, Amy Atwater, is the Paleontology Collections Manager/Registrar at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. She is also just an all-around bad-ass. She is an avid science communicator, and does so through presentations, videos, and her massively popular instagram account @Mary_annings_revenge. Amy was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin and has a slew of peer-reviewed publications. She also has published work in The Huffington Post and has even appeared on PBS EONS. We talk with her about how she got into paleontology, how she escaped the field of anthropology and how David and Connor are recovering paleontologists. We define the difference between archaeology and paleontology (Archaeologists Don’t Dig Dinosaurs!) while discussing deep time and stratigraphy. David and Amy discuss curation life and security and Amy explains who Mary Anning is and why she is so vengeful. We finish with a discussion about mental health in Academia. And, big surprise, Connor makes another crappy dad joke. Make sure and get your T-Rex arms clapping and waving as you begin listening to Episode 5 of A Life in Ruins Podcast.

This episode is about the Modern Myth of genetics, race and archaeology that permeates through far right online spaces. Discussions over one’s personal ancestry from DNA testing kits, the fall of Rome and modern migration into Europe. Dr. Susanne Hakenbeck is a senior lecturer in historical archaeology at the University of Cambridge and her recent paper, Genetics, archaeology and the far right: an unholy Trinity identifies the ways in which extremist online spaces foster racist ideas about the past. However it is in many ways the genetic research uses unclear terms and casually equates genetic population and ethnic groups that allow the data to be easily co-opted by the right.

From tents to hotel rooms CRM Archaeologists have seen it all when it comes to lodging. We sleep in our cars, double up in rented houses, and try to rack up those hotel points when we can. For the last few years, though, a new player had been shaking things up. With AirBnB anyone can rent out some or all of their residence and for archaeologists working on small town with few lodging options, this can be a real game changer for quality of life.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Dr. Paulette Steeves (Cree-Metis), Associate Professor at Algoma University. We especially focus on the Indigenous paleolithic and how Dr. Steeves is showing that it was very different than how it is presented by the field of archaeology. We also talk about the Bering Strait theory and why the academy is so resistant to that narrative being challenged. In the beginning of the episode Dr. Steeves walks us through her career, including some incidents that were not so flattering for the field, and finish our by talking about what it would take to decolonize the academy and anthropology. "In early February 1999 I was standing on the corner outside of an old brick building which housed my favorite used bookstore in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The store, which was situated on the edge campus and the entrance to Main Street was a magical place of dreams and respite, where I went for brief sojourns from the real world. The store also contained glassed in shelves with a wonderful collection of nickel candies, from which I created magical brown paper sacks of joy and happiness for my three children. As I exited the book store my oldest son Jesse who was 21, ran up to me, and smiled an accepted his bag of candy. He looked me in the eyes and thanked me and hugged me then just out of the blue he said; “no matter what ever happens to me, don’t you ever give up on your education, promise me you will never give, you will keep going and finish you bachelors and go on to a higher degree, be a doctor, be a lawyer, keep going, promise me you will never give up”, so that day in early February I promised him, I would never give up. Just a week later he was gone, crossed over from this world, and my promise to my son to never give up was the last conversation we had. This story is dedicated to my oldest son Jesse Blue Steeves Dec1, 1977-Feb 18, 1999, I can tell him now that thanks to his love and foresight, I never gave up."

If you’ve been following us for a bit, you might notice that archaeology isn’t just pyramids or that ancient aliens bullshit...it’s the study of human behavior. And one world-wide human behavior that you’ve probably all observed, is the practice of tattooing and body modification. Well, that’s not really our niche, but lucky for you, we’re bought one of the world’s leading experts on the archaeology of tattooing to talk with us today. In fact, he co-wrote the book on it! Tonight’s guest, Aaron Deter-Wolf, is currently the Prehistoric Archaeologist at the Tennessee Division of Archaeology. Aaron is responsible for managing prehistoric sites on State-owned lands, as well as conducting archaeological excavations and publishing research on the results of those studies. Most importantly, Aaron is a prominent advocate for public archaeology, as evidenced by his work with the state of Tennessee, his scholarly publications, and his new Instagram @archaeologyink. So before the ink dries, let's put a pin in this intro and get to the point of tonight's podcast!

n this episode of Modern Myth, we begin to unravel the lesser known history of colony and the nuacned ways in which people occupied the British Imperial space. Talking with Cambridge Reader, Dr. Priyamvada Gopal about her new book Insurgent Empire, Tristan asks what voices are unaccounted for in traditional retellings of the British Empire and why does that have an effect on the modern narrative. The many modern myths of colony are outlined and discussed as well as what the future holds in terms of solidarity with the world. Links Insurgent Empire - Verso Books

On today’s show we talk about preservation and conservation in the context of cities of the future. Where are all the old buildings in the architectural drawings and artist’s conceptions of the future? Where’s the old post office, hotel, or city building? Even in science fiction the cities of the future are ultra modern with no ties to the past. Is that OK? Or, should we be thinking about how our past and present tie into our future?

On today’s podcast Jessica hosts Roger Echo-Hawk, a writer / artist, and a citizen of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. We discussed his role in the origin story of what became Indigenous archaeology – the study of oral tradition; the unfolding racial Indian repatriation movement; the interfacing of archaeology and Indian Country; and the history of race and the rethinking of racial identity systems.

Today Chris and Paul talk about a fairly well-known concept in technology circles called, “Good, Fast, Cheap, Pick 2.” What it means is that often you don’t get all three in something you’re using. One of those is always sacrificed to make the other two work. Well, is that true? Are things that violate this principle? Let’s talk about it.
Ella cut her scientific teeth in Kenya as part of the Koobi Fora field School @koobiforafieldschool. The Koobi Fora region is one of the most prolific fossil bearing regions in the world and possibly home to the oldest instances of the use of fire by our hominid ancestors.
Spencer is one of the most talented, accomplished, and brilliant archaeologists in the country. The dude has over a dozen publications and literally just got his PhD last year.
Using criteria from the National Park Service and other sources archaeologists are tasked to determine an archaeological resource's eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. This isn't so easy sometimes and we have criteria and integrity considerations to look at. This episode is a discussion of that process and the issues that come up when trying to do it.
This episode is all about chickens! How to eat them. How to identify them. Different types. All things chicken. There’s even a few chicken jokes.
This episode was originally recorded live on KNVC 95.1 FM in Carson City Nevada on April 19th, 2019. Chris talks about several past episodes on TAS, and then “digs” in to his work on the US/Mexican border. No guests today; just the ramblings of a heat-stressed archaeologist.
Edward Gonzalez-Tennant is a GIS and open source digital archaeology expert. We brought him on to talk about GIS but the conversation quickly turned to his work at historic Rosewood - a predominantly African-American town in Florida that was destroyed by riots and the Rosewood Massacre over 100 years ago. EGT is using digital archaeology and traditional methods to reconstruct this town so visitors and descendants can know what it was like to live in that area at in the early 1900s.
Ok, before you type your strongly worded tweet or you decide to #cancel me please give me a moment to explain. As has been highlighted recently, archaeology has a problem with impact with getting the information out there. Perhaps there’s nothing wrong with the food, its just the service isn’t what you want. With his new book released Graham Hancock appeared on the Joe Rogan show and obviously talked at length about his book, he made some salient points and importantly he tied himself to those ideas and that’s where I think we can learn something about outreach.If you want to argue, tweet at me or send me an email:Links Twitter/IG - @anarchaeologistSupport the network by becoming a memberShare this on social media
Quick, Marty, we gotta save the world! From what!? From nuclear annihilation.Perhaps not so grand, but in this Modern Myth episode we get to grips with the ideas behind nuclear weapons and the boogeyman of radiation, Martin Pfeiffer is a PhD student researching nuclear anthropology and loves going into musems to #LickTheBomb, (he tells us how their casings taste) and what it means to be an activist for denuclearisation of the modern world.

In some areas of the country archaeologists are monitoring for construction projects. That’s not unique. What is unique is that some of these archaeologists are monitoring for years at a time and they’re losing their skills. We talk about that, and, mental health issues in contract archaeology.
On today’s podcast Jessica hosts Rebecca Heidenreich (Diné), a graduate student at Arizona State University (and Jessica even refrained from making any Sun Devils jokes!) studying GIS. Rebecca talks about her experiences in both academia and CRM and how the two differ. She also talks about what it’s like navigating indigenous and scientific perspectives. It’s a very personal interview and an important listen for anyone trying to better understand what it’s like to be an indigenous archaeologist.
Today episode is a recording of Chris’ radio show on KNVC.org 95.1 FM in Carson City, Nevada. He’s joined by guest co-host Richie Cruz and Samantha Kirtkley to talk about her involvement with Project Archaeology.
A few APN hosts and a guest joined together at the 2019 Society for American Archaeology meetings in New Mexico to talk about the issues that took place at the meeting, the SAA response, and how we can all do better.
In a recent book chapter, linked below, the integration of underwater and terrestrial archaeology was discussed. It got Chris and Paul thinking about those two spaces and how they are linked in the archaeological record. When seas fluctuate sites are buried and revealed and thinking about them together can help archaeologists interpret the past.
Host Bill Auchter went to the 2019 MAAC and he brought his microphone! Listen to some great interviews from a diverse crowd and learn all about the people and the archaeology of the Mid-Atlantic region.
Today’s show is a recording of Chris’ radio show on Carson Community Media in Carson City, Nevada. it’s with CRM Archaeologist Michelle Cross from Stantec. She was just elected the next president of the Society for California Archaeology.
Chris interviews Michiel Kappers at the 2019 Society for California Archaeology meetings in Sacramento last March. Michiel runs InTerris Registries, a digital site management software with a lot of power. Learn more about it and how you can use it on your next project.
On today's episode of ArchaeoAnimals, we'll be talking about horse bones! Why are they so venerated in the past? How is this reflected in the way we find horse burials? And why are their bones just so large and scary?!
Get a job! It’s time to start working. Archaeologists are coming off a long winter and summer is around the corner. You need a job and we’ll help you get there.
This episode is a recording of a live radio show from Chris Webster called The Archaeology Radio Show. Listen live on Fridays at the links below. The guest is Richie Cruz and he talks about Cultural Resource Management Archaeology with Chris.
Today we have on the line Sebastian Heath from NYU's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. Dr. Heath is ISAW's go-to Digital Humanities professor, and we'd like to discuss his take on DH in archaeology.
On today’s podcast Jessica hosts Carlton Shield Chief Gover, a PhD student at the University of Colorado, Boulder and a member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. We talked about the unique history of Oklahoma and particularly the Pawnee and Arikara Nations. We talk about the challenges of when oral history and archaeology don’t agree and what it’s like to work in academia, CRM, and in tribal settings. Finally we talk about where he would love to see the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma’s THPO and Museum go in the future, as well as where he would like the field of anthropology to go.

In this episode we speak with Lewis Borck about his article "Constructing the Future History: Prefiguration as Historical Epistemology and the Chronopolitics of Archaeology" and how it applies to CRM archaeology as we practice it.
This episode is the recording of Chris Webster’s radio show interview on KNVC 95.1, Carson City Community Media with Dr. Lemont Dobson from the TV series, “America: From the Ground Up.” We talk about the series and archaeologists on TV in general.
Welcome to the ArchaeoTech Podcast. Today is February 26th, 2019, so put on your party hat because we're recording the 100th episode. This is Paul Zimmerman, your host for for this milestone, along with my co-host (the pod's usual host) Chris Webster. We're turning the tables since we don't have a "tech" topic per se, but instead we're going to do a little navel gazing and look at the history of this podcast to see what kinds of lessons we can learn about podcasting and public archaeology in general.
When identifying ritual, context is everything. In the case of zooarchaeology, the location of the remains alone has much inference on whether ritual activity is involved. A notable example is perhaps the burial of dogs (or parts thereof) at the threshold of a structure, which is seen from the Neolithic down to Iron Age, from Italy to Kazakhstan, through Sweden and Britain.
We’ve got two very different guests on the show today. The first is Seth Hymes. Seth runs a digital marketing online course and we’ve partnered with him to get CRM Archaeologists a little bit of a side career. Take the course, make a little extra money, and have something to do in the off season. Our second guest is Karry Blake. She’s a CRM professional, runs an environmental department, and is raising two kids the entire time. We talk about the challenges of raising kids while managing your career.
Kristen Hazard is the CEO and founder of Wildnote, a digital data collection and management platform that is helping environmental firms to their work faster and more accurately. Chris interviews her on The Archaeology Radio Show on KNVC, Carson City Media.
In the wake of Marie Kondo and her tidying-up mentality we started wondering about the archaeology of the future. Guest host Richie Cruz and host Chris Webster talk about the future in a tidied-up world. What will be left? How do we think about and interact with “things” as compared to our ancestors and ancient people around the world?
Drs. Batún and Landry-Montes have been working on archaeology outreach in local Maya communities in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. They have been working with local middle school teachers to teach students about cenotes, underground freshwater aquifers, and their cultural, archaeological, and ecological importance.

For the last six year's we've been podcasting about the field of CRM Archaeology. We've had our ups and downs, just like the industry, but through it all we've continued to bring you awesome topics, great interviews, and educated commentary. Thanks for the past six years and here's to another six!
Brexit, it's a word we hear all too often, no doubt we are fatigued by it. But in the cusp of its realization perhaps we should look how we got here. What helped create the narrative and what information was drawn upon in order to make it seem that leaving the EU was the decision to vote for, at least for three majority of people.
I speak to Kenny Brophy from the University of Glasgow about his paper Brexit And Prehistory about the ways in which narratives were created and how people use symbols of the past to create their own narratives, and in some cases their own cairns.

Today’s episode is actually a recording of the first interview I did as a radio host at KNVC 95.1 in Carson City Nevada. They cut off the first few minutes so we pick it up with one of my next questions. I talk to Dr. Garfinkel about Rock Art, his career and how he got into it, and what it all means in the greater cultural context.
Today on the show Paul and I discuss chat bots and whether they can good, bad, or indifferent for heritage communication. We also discuss a Munsell reader and Paul’s new drone!
Felis catus is the domesticated form of the African wildcat Felis s. lybica. The latter is believed to have been domesticated in the Near East at the time of the Neolithic agricultural revolution, where keeping pests away from grain storage would have been paramount. It likely that, much like other domesticates, several domestication attempts would have taken place across time and geographical regions.
The fourth quarter, 2018, grievance statistics are out and they're a bit shocking. We talk about how to file a grievance and why you should file a grievance. We also talk about moving across the country for work. Is it worth it? What's more important - length of the job or the money? There are many factors that you have to look at and we try to help you navigate the decision matrix and get the best bang for your buck.
I met up with Dr. Monty Dobson, creator of the TV series, America From The Ground Up, now in its second season. We spoke at the Society for Historical Archaeology Meetings in St. Charles Missouri in January of 2019 about his production studio and what it takes to make good TV for archaeology.
Through the power of the internet we interview Alexei Vranich from his field site in Cambodia about work he did in Bolivia! This podcast is based on a paper (linked below) about reconstructing an ancient structure at Tiwanaku in Bolivia. This structure was incomplete and they had no idea what it was supposed to look like. But, through some high tech methods and good old fashioned elbow grease they figured it out.
The Society for Historical Archaeology conference was held in St. Charles, Missouri this year (2019) and despite the 15 inches of snow, the government shutdown, and a fire in the terminal at St. Louis International, the conference went pretty well! Bill White and Chris Webster sit down with two women that started a Facebook group to be a safe place for people that are victims of the #metoo phenomenon and the talk to each other about other things they saw at the conference.
On today’s podcast Jessica hosts a panel on technology in the Heritage/Cultural Resource Management fields. The panelists discuss how they use technology in their work, the positives and negatives of technology for tribes and heritage preservation, and tribes and Indigenous Archaeologist’s innovative adaptations of technology to serve their needs.
Today play another episode of the live-on-Facebook show “You Call This Archaeology” with Chris Webster and Richie Cruz. We talk about contract archaeology, wireless chargers, Megan Fox, and the digital archaeology transition, among other things. Get notified when we go live on Facebook by liking the page!
We talk about drones a lot on this show. And for the record, they're officially called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or UASs (Unmanned Aerial Systems). What we don't often talk about is the nuts and bolts of actually using a UAV in the field.
Whether we're talking about a single archaeology project or the industry as a whole, we're always worried about working ourselves out of work. What does that mean? Well, we talk about it on today's episode. To help counter this, though, check out our sponsors, Wildnote and Team Black.
Modern domestic cattle descends from the aurochs (Bos primigenius). The dynamics of aurochs domestication is, as always when domestication is concerned, not well understood as of yet. They were supposedly domesticated in SW Asia some 8,000 years BP.
So, Megan Fox likes archaeology and wants to tell us all about it. Well, our host Chris Webster has a few things to say about that. They're, surprisingly, not all bad. Check out the show if you haven't - it won't be on for long.
Many people are writing papers about "going digital" and the results from doing so. However, not too many are writing about the effects of going digital on a crew. For example, do people work better together or separately when recording artifacts with a tablet. On today's episode we talk to the authors of a paper about going digital on a project in Peru and how recording ceramics was changed by using tablets.
Well, 2018 is coming to a close and it’s given us some real gems to consider. Aside from ACTRESS Megan Fox thinking she knows anything about archaeology we also have rogue robots and out-of-control AI. But there were some good things this year. Join Chris, Bill, and Bill for this 2018 wrap-up.
On today’s podcast we have Brandon Castle, a Senior in Fort Lewis College’s Anthropology Department, who has also worked at the Totem Heritage Center in Alaska, the Center of Southwest Studies in Colorado, the Field Museum of Natural History in Illinois, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He also discusses his work for Fort Lewis College’s Gender and Sexuality Resource Center. Brandon shares ideas on improving representation, intersectionality, collaboration, and the creation of safe spaces in anthropology and museums.
On Friday, Dec. 7th, 2018 Chris took this show on the radio. He’s doing a new show every Friday from 12pm to 1pm PST. Unfortunately the equipment that normally records the live broadcast went down before the show and no one noticed. So, Richie Cruz joined us again to talk about the show and some other things in a Facebook Live episode of You Call This Archaeology.
Chat bots are taking over conversations with customer service and social media applications like Facebook Messenger. But, do they belong in heritage situations? Can chat bots help outreach and interact with the public or are they just one more distraction? We talk about chat bots in the context of a recent article from the Society for American Archaeology’s Advances in Archaeological Practice on this episode.
Dr. Bill White, long-time host of this show, talks to us about historical archaeology. What is historical archaeology? When does it start in the United States? When does it end? What are some of the biggest questions in historic archaeology? Also, what's going historic in 2019 as a result of the 50-year-rule. These questions and more on the 152nd running of the CRM Archaeology Podcast.
Today's show is a crossover special with archaeology podcast "Archaeological Fantasies"! Cryptids are creatures from fiction, folklore, and fantasy.
Here is the recording of a live show we do on Facebook at the ArchPodNet page. Richie Cruz is the co-host and we talk about a variety of things loosely tied to archaeology. And I mean loosely.
Disaster preparedness takes many forms - depending on who you are and what you do. It's also important for archaeology sites. Creating relationships with major and local agencies and locating archaeology sites in jeopardy is paramount to preserving history.
Every so often Chris Webster and Richie Cruz, both archaeologists, broadcast live on the APN Facebook page. It's a show called "You Call This Archaeology?" We talk about archaeology and many other things. Instead of our normal show we bring you the 49th recording of YCTA. Enjoy, and, like our Facebook page so you'll know when we go live again.
We talk about the blending of ethnography and archaeology within indigenous archaeology, as well as the identity challenges that many young Native Americans face and how indigenous archaeology can be one part of a holistic picture that can give young people a sense of who they are and hope for the future.
On episode 91 of this podcast Paul and Chris talked about a recent article that discussed the "disappearing data" of archaeology. Where do data go when the project is over? Why isn't the government doing a better job of preserving the data?
Almost everyone will admit that leadership training and practices are badly needed, and are in fact missing, within Cultural Resource Management. We need all the help we can get! Vishal Agarwal, author of “Give to Get” talks to us about leadership and navigating through work environments.
Simon brings on a guest Albina Hulda Palsdottir to talk about sheep vs goats - what's similar and what's different.
Can you study human evolution without looking at humans or human ancestors specifically? Our guest on this show is doing just that. By studying old world monkeys in the fossil record, ASU graduate student Irene Smail is learning about how humans and monkeys ate and lived on the African landscape.
What happens to archaeological data when the project is over? Are we doing all we can? Where does it go and how can we help? This is a response to a recent article.
H.P. Lovecraft wrote many stories. I bet he never thought about archaeology while he was writing them. Well, we did. Here's another random encounters episode where we roll the dice and pair archaeology with horror. It'll be a wild ride where we talk about field stories, racism, and more.
The people known to archaeologists as "Clovis" were widely thought to be the first people to migrate to North America. Where did they come from and how did they get here? Also, when did they get here? These questions remain unanswered in North American Prehistory but we're getting a lot closer. Dr. David Kilby joins us to talk theories and some of the latest evidence.
Profiles in CRM features short interviews with CRM professionals from all experience levels and educational levels. I ask a standard list of questions and see how each person answers them based on their experience.
Drones are fast becoming a standard archaeological tool. Their cool factor is undeniable, but maybe you're on the fence about their actual utility. Or, maybe you're sold on their usefulness and want to jump in but don't know where to start. In today's episode of the ArchaeoTech Podcast, we'll help get you up to speed.
On today’s podcast we are hugely honored to have three special guests who spoke with Jessica about the Greater Chaco Landscape during their advocacy trip to Washington D.C.
Profiles in CRM features short interviews with CRM professionals from all experience levels and educational levels. I ask a standard list of questions and see how each person answers them based on their experience.
Sarah Herr joins us to discuss synthesis in CRM and the Coalition for Archaeological Synthesis.
5000 years ago pastoralists in Kenya created a burial site with a specific plan. For at least the next 400 years, possibly as long as 800 years, over 500 people of all ages and classes were buried with amazing precision and care. With no system of writing it's unclear how they accomplished this. Dr. Elizabeth Sawchuk, one of the researchers on the project, gives us some insight into life around Lake Turkana 5000 years ago and about the people buried there.
Apple had their usual September announcement recently and Paul and Chris break down what the new tech is and what it means for archaeology. Should you upgrade to the new phone? Do you need the new watch? Will the new operating system crash your hard drive? We'll talk about all that and our experiences with iOS 12, Watch OS 5, and MacOS Mohave, 10.14.
The skeletal remains of dogs are simultaneously very distinct in their characteristics, but also very similar to other animals. Compare a dog skull to grey seals or foxes to see what we mean!
Bill Auchter joins Bill and Stephen again for another round of the random encounters game. This time we're switching genres to do a cyberpunk-themed episode.
Drones are here in CRM Archaeology. Archaeologist Bill Whitehead of SWCA in New Mexico talks about how they're using drones and other technology to enhance the products they can return to customers and increase the accuracy of their maps.
On today’s podcast we have Ashleigh Thompson (Miskwaagamiiwi-zaaga’igan- Red Lake Anishinaabe Nation), a fourth year PhD student at Jessica’s alma mater, the University of Arizona. She talks about how she came to anthropology and the importance of representation. We talk about food sovereignty and not oversimplifying the way we talk about people based on their food practices. We also go into what it’s like to reconnect with your culture and language as an adult and the importance of education both to have a larger impact and what it can teach you about yourself. Finally, we close out by hearing more about Natives Outdoors (a public benefit corporation trying to increase Native American representation in the recreation industry that gives 5% of the profits on their gear back to Native American run non-profits focusing on language & cultural preservation, outdoor recreation, and environmental issues), cultural appropriation, and how we can balance recreation, preservation, and being respectful at culturally important places.
Going digital is, in Chris’ opinion, a morale and ethical imperative. We are the stewards of other people’s history and it’s our job to ensure their data are secure for as long as it takes.
There is a lot to do and think about in business and in the business of archaeology. We often don't think of common business tools when trying to finish a project - mostly because we just want to think about archaeology. However, modern tools like team communication apps and project management apps are great at helping everyone organize, get on the same page, and get the work done on time and under budget. We have to be careful that we don't use TOO much in our work flow and that we don't get "notification paralysis" with everything turned on. Learn what to use, how to use it, and how to dial in the notifications so they come at just the right times and tell you what you need to know.
The distinction between domestic and wild animals is sometimes difficult, especially if the domesticated species is still morphological very similar to its wild counterpart. Cat being a notorious example. Size is usually a good indicator (wild counterparts often being bigger). Differentiation is usually achieved by means of biometry, which consists of set measurements taken from the bones. Previous research has established standards for measurements taken from individuals of known ID (wild and domestic), to compare your assemblage to. However one needs to bear in mind that modern animals may not look exactly like they used to, and things become even complicated when a species also presents several different breeds bearing distinct morphological differences (e.g. domestic dogs.
Zooarchaeology is, as the word suggests, the study of animal remains from archaeological sites. It is a relatively new discipline that has been steadily gaining popularity since the 1970s. Zooarchaeology can provide inference on past people’s economy, dietary habits, society and culture.
It's a bit of a different show today. Chris talks about Team Black and what it's hoping to do for archaeology. From resources to webinars, there is a lot over there. The last half of this shorter episode is an example of a Team Black Webinar on getting a job in archaeology.
The Coffee With an Indian Podcast, hosted by Brian Melendez, is a raw look at growing up and living a tribal lifestyle. Brian weaves an emotional narrative of his life that is sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and always instructive.
Dylan Davis is lead author on a paper titled, "Automated mound detection using lidar and object-based image analysis in Beaufort County, South Carolina." The article details his teams efforts to create algoritms and workflows for a computer system to identify mounds and earthworks. The results were stunning! They covered an amazing amount of space in a short period of time and ground truthed just a few of the results which resulted in the discovery of some previously undiscovered mounds. This is just the beginning for a system like this.
On today’s podcast we speak with David L. George-Shongo, Jr., Acting Director of the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum. The Seneca-Iroquois National Museum just celebrated opening a brand new $18M facility, including a new museum/cultural center, archives, and decontamination area. Dave talks about the opening and the long process of developing the museum in the community (without bringing in any outside funding!). He also speaks about NAGPRA from the 1990s until now and working with other tribes to provide curation space if needed as well. He discusses the Men’s Cultural and Ritual Language Program and the importance of using Seneca words in explaining Seneca concepts in addition acting in a culturally appropriate manner while doing anthropology or heritage preservation. Mostly, he wants people to understand that the Seneca are people too and not only that they are still here even if they use modern tools, but that they will be here as Seneca into the future.
Sonia and Chris start the episode by discussing something we saw on Facebook - which is something no one should do! Anyway, should archaeologists get per diem on the weekends on long term projects? We have our opinions. We spend the rest of the episode talking about the rough fire season in the western U.S. and how to deal with smoke and fire's effects on archaeology.
Similar in technology and acoustic style to the xylophone, lithopones are rocks that have been used to make music and sounds for thousands of years and all over the planet. Long and usually skinny, lithophones are rocks that are either natural or have been shaped to produce certain sounds or notes. On today's episode we talk to Marilyn Martorano about her research into lithophones in the American Southwest.
Bill White is a CRM Archaeologist and professor at UC Berkeley. He's ran projects in a variety of conditions and locations and today he joins us to talk about the challenges of using tech on projects in challenging areas.
On today’s podcast Lyle and I talk about what we’ve been up to for the past two years since we started working on the podcast. We talk about a few of our favorite past episodes and give a teaser for the upcoming episodes. We also talk a lot about the new non-profit that a group of us ethnographers have founded called Living Heritage Research Council and what we would like to do with it in the future. Also, we talk about the sweet logo that Lyle designed and how you can get your own swag with it on there (see the links below)!
From academic positions to field positions to contracts archaeologists find themselves in a race to the bottom competing with each other in an already strapped industry. Why does this happen and how can we fix it? We toss out some of our ideas on this episode.
April is back from field school! This was the 10th year anniversary of the Amache Field School, run by Dr. Bonnie Clark of the University of Denver. April is a Co-Director of the field school and she has a report on what the did, what they found, and what's next. Amache is a fascinating place with a complicated history. If you have questions, please reach out and we'll get them to the right people.
Data loss is one of the most terrifying things an archaeologist, or any scientist, fears. To have all that hard work, and sometimes un-replicable work, lost because of something that you could ultimately control is something we don't like to think about. But, we have to. Especially as archaeology goes more into the digital realm all field archaeologists have to think about how they are preserving and backing up their data not only in the field but at every step of the process. Paul and Chris talk about this problem and some possible solutions on today's episode.
Is it possible? Can a universal site form really cover all sites? Stephen, Doug, and Chris discuss the possibilities, problems, and practicality of this idea. Tell us what you think!
On Today’s episode, Jessica hosts a panel focused on publishing. The panel includes Dr. Lisa Hardy (Editor of one of the Society for Applied Anthropology’s (SFAA) journals, Practicing Anthropology), Sarah Herr (Editor of one of the Society for American Archaeology’s (SAA) journals, Advances in Archaeological Practice), Dr. Kathleen Van Vlack (Editor of the High Plains Society for Applied Anthropology’s (HPSFAA) journal The Applied Anthropologist), and Dr. David Martinez (Akimel O’odham, Associate Professor of American Indian Studies at Arizona State University). Unfortunately, due to some last minute technical difficulties, Lyle was unable to join the call as co-host and panelist. Also, we actually recorded this episode back in March, so you may notice that things we mentioned happened awhile ago, so sorry about all that. We talked about everyone’s experience with publishing, tips for those who are interesting in publishing, challenges with diversity in publishing, and where they would like to see publishing going in the future. These amazing editors look forward to working with you towards publishing in their journals!
Today Chris and Paul discuss an article from the May 2018 issue of Advances in Archaeological Practice, a journal from the Society for American Archaeology. It's an article that summarizes the rest of this special journal issue that is all about the reuse of archived data. It's a real issue in archaeology and we dive in on this episode.
Bring yourself online..... The HBO drama Westworld has entered its second season, dealing with a robot revolt and what it means to be Artificial Intelligence and by extension, human. All against a backdrop of America's favourite cultural setting, the Wild West. Tristan uses Westworld to introduce his multi episode series on virtual archaeology and the importance of thinking about representation of archaeology; do we want a fun and engaging history that allows people to explore or should we let people "peek behind the curtain" in order to be more honest.

Everyone see preservation differently. Is excavation preservation? Is saving the data preservation? Is not doing anything at all preservation? What does it mean to you? On today's episode we explore this topic and giver our own opinions on what preservation means to us.
It's just Chris today! April is out on her field school. Chris talks about some current archaeology in the news and gives his take on the stories. He also talks about three great new shows coming to the Archaeology Podcast Network this summer.
