Indigenous Land Management - HeVo 40

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.

Geophysics, Photogrammetry and Drones with Wesley Weatherbee - ArchaeoTech 129

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.

Viper’s Daughter by Michelle Paver - PreHist 25

It’s been two years since we published the last episode, and it’s been ten years since Michelle Paver published the last of her Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series of Mesolithic set books that had started with Wolf Brother. 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.

NEPA 2020 with Dr. Tom King - CRMArch 190

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.
