New Year, who dis?: A Conversation with Our Overlord Chris Webster - Ruins 13
On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we talk with our overlord and frequent dictionary consultant Chris Webster. 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. Give it a listen!

The Institute for Field Research - TAS 79
The Institute for Field Research, or IFR, was started by Dr. Ran Boytner in 2011. Since then the IFR has helped organize field schools around the world and has even been branching out from just archaeology. On this episode April and Chris talk to Dr. Boytner about the IFR, how you get a field school into the IFR, and how students can apply.

New Advances in Oxygen Isotope Analysis with Dr. Corey Maggiano - ArchaeoTech 119
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.
