ArchaeoAcoustics With Steve Waller - Ep 3
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.

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.

Sundown Towns - America's Forgotten History - Dig It 6
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.
