Just The Boyz but it's Revolutionary - Ruins 57

For this episode of Just the Boyz, the hosts attempt to discuss the events leading up to the American Revolution and the first year of the fight for America's Independence from the English Crown.

Early on in this episode, you can tell that hosts have a lot to say without a really coherent plan as to how to say it. The guys are all over the place with this episode, but you can definitely get a sense of their passion for this topic.

And yes, Carlton did mix up King George III with King George V. He's been binging The Crown recently.

  • 1776 by David McCullough

  • The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution by Bernard Bailyn

Debate and Presentation Anxiety - Dig It 30

In this episode, we discuss the completely normal (somewhat irrational fear) of having anxiety during public speaking. Sometimes it's difficult to maintain focus during a debate or when a teacher calls on you in class. Whether it be in an academic setting, work, or presenting at conferences, we want to reassure you that it is completely fine. Tune in!

Making wine for the Emperor on the Roman imperial estate at Vagnari (Italy) with Maureen Carroll - Arch and Ale 38

Archaeology and Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host Maureen Carroll speaking on "Making Wine for the Emperor on the Roman Imperial Estate at Vagnari (Italy) with Maureen Carroll". This talk took place on Thursday, April 29th, 2021, online via Google Meets.

Maureen is a Roman archaeologist whose key research interests are Roman burial practices, funerary commemoration, and Roman childhood and family studies. She headed up the British team participating in a large EU-funded multi-national project (DressID) on Roman textiles and clothing, her focus being on dress and identity in funerary portraits on the Rhine and Danube frontiers. A further area of interest is the topic of Roman garden archaeology, on which she has published extensively. More recently, Maureen has studied the role of women in votive religion in early Roman Italy.

She has directed excavations in Germany, Italy, Tunisia, and Britain. Her current fieldwork project, funded by the British Academy/Leverhulme Trust, the Roman Society, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Rust Family Foundation, is the exploration of a Roman rural estate in imperial possession from the first to the third century A.D. at Vagnari in Puglia (Italy).

Our Ruined Lives with Morgan Kinney - Ruins 56

In this edition of Our Ruined Lives, Morgan Kinney, a graduate student at Adams State University, joins the hosts to talk about his career in cultural resources management. Morgan is pursuing an M.A. in CRM, which provided an opportunity for the hosts to discuss the differences between a CRM-based M.A. and a general Anthropology M.A.

We close the episode with a discussion on Morgan's experiences in Archaeology Sci-Comm through TikTok. Morgan's TikTok, archaeowolf, is one of the most engaged archaeology-centered accounts on the platform, and the hosts are curious about how Morgan combats against pseudo-science and how he addresses questions from the public. Also, Carlton goes on a tangent about Morgan's aircraft content.

Guest’s literature recommendations:

1) In Small Things Forgotten by James Deetz

2) JSTOR - Yup, just JSTOR

Drones in the Classroom with Dr. Jesse Tune - Archaeotech 154

Dr. Jesse Tune joins Chris and Paul to talk about their favorite subject: Drones! Don't play the drinking game on this one. We can't be held responsible!

Dr. Tune is a prehistoric archaeologist who studies Ice Age human migrations and the colonization of new landscapes.

His current research involves documenting the early human occupation of the Colorado Plateau, investigating lithic technology in the Southeast United States, and studying how humans adapt to resource accessibility.

Revolutionary Interpretations of Coso Rock Art with Dr. Alan Garfinkel - Rock Art 37

This episode is a bit different. Dr. Garfinkel discusses and sketches his latest unpublished research into some new and rather revolutionary interpretations of Coso rock art. Coso rock art is located in eastern California and represents some of the greatest concentrations of rock art in the entire Western Hemisphere. It is surprisingly realistic and representational. We will dive into ancient archaic Utoaztecan religious thought and look at the relationships between Coso the American Southwest and into Mesoamerica!

The Modern Myth of the British Empire with Kim A Wagner - Modern Myth - Episode 20

This episode dives into the world of the British Empire - as it is viewed in Britain and the lingering narratives that surround it.

Today's guest is Kim A Wagner, Professor of Global and Imperial History, who discusses the reality of the British Empire and challanges the "balance sheet" view of history which sees historical events as simply "good" or "bad".

We also get on to the topic of the culture war that seems to be happening in the UK when it comes its own colonial legacy and in particular adherence to the reminders of that past in the forms of statues and names of buildings and colleges.

SAA 86th Annual Conference: An Indigenous Response

In this special edition of the A Life in Ruins Podcast, Carlton co-hosts an episode with Emily Van Alst, Ash Boydston-Schmidt, and Kay Mattena. The four discuss the recent SAA controversy surrounding the "Curation, Repatriation, and Accessibility: Vital Ethical Conversations" session. Specifically, the “Has Creationism Crept Back into Archaeology?” presentation.

The four Indigenous scholars discuss their thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the content of the presentation, their disappointment in the SAA for platforming the talk, the future of the SAA, and how the society can improve its ethics and better support its Indigenous scholars.

Lastly, they discuss the fallout from the presentation and how some non-Indigenous scholars are taking advantage of Indigenous trauma to further their own careers, and how non-Indigenous scholars can truly be allies to Indigenous people.
