Merry Hyksmas! With Dr. Chris Stantis - Dirt 121
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!

Show and Tell Abraq - Dirt 120
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.

Creationism and Scientific Racism with Dr. Jon Marks - TAS 105
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.

Where and Why We Dig - CRMArch 204
You may have wondered when seeing an excavation on TV, or, an archaeological site in your home town how archaeologists decide “This is the place!”. Well, the short answer is: it’s complicated. On this episode we use a recent article to start the conversation and try to come up with some answers.
