The Future of Writing and Publishing in Archaeology - CRMArch 203
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? It’s a tricky question that we try to answer on today’s episode. But first, the implications of space law on terrestrial archaeology.

Space Archaeology with Justin Walsh - ArchaeoTech 142
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. This is a fascinating journey through both space and time and we hope you enjoy the ride!

New evidence for Neolithic textiles in the Orkney Islands - TAS 103/Hist Yarn
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.

Finally, this episode was recorded in early April 2020, so naturally we were talking about COVID-19.

Ellora Caves - Dirt 115
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.

10,000-year-old Rock Art in the Desert: A Conversation with Dr. Marissa Molinar - Ruins 33
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.

We Bet You'll Enjoy This Episode - Ep 114
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.

The Basketry Boom of the early 20th Century with Gene Meieran - Rock Art 21
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.
