Mechanized Archaeology using Paleo Digger - Ep 175

Brian Fritz is an archaeologist and inventor that saw an issue with deep digging in Pennsylvania. To help out he developed a new machine that can basically do an auger test down to 7 meters, log the levels along the way, and there's an attached mechanized screen. It's a pretty cool system and we hear how he developed it and what he hopes to do in the future with this new system.

Brian’s Bio

Brian L. Fritz is the Principle Archaeological Investigator for Quemahoning, LLC, a cultural resources consulting business that specializes in geoarchaeology, soil geomorphology, and GIS solutions for archaeological problems. Mr. Fritz has earned a B.S. in geology and a B.A. in Anthropology from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and M.S. in Geology at the University of Akron.

Decolonizing the Museum of Us - HeVo 61

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Kara Vetter, Director of Cultural Resources at the Museum of Us, and Eva Trujillo (Siny ‘Iipay, Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians), UCSD’s Repatriation Coordinator and Museum of Us Board Trustee). This conversation is a deep dive into the Museum of Us’ Decolonization efforts. First, we talk about the colonial history of the museum and the impetus of the decolonization efforts. Then we move into the four guiding principles they are using to do this work and how they have incorporated them at the museum. Finally we talk about advice they’d give to other museums trying to make similar efforts and their dream visions for the future of the museum.

New CRM Field School - CRM Arch 234

A field school is usually required to get a job in Cultural Resources Management. A lot of professionals went to a field school that filled an interested and didn't really prepare them for a career in CRM. There are a few CRM field schools out there and another is starting in May of 2022. The Center for American Archaeology has created a four-week program of intense study and on today's episode, we talk to one of the directors of the program, Dr. Jason King.

Field School Description

APPLIED ARCHAEOLOGY FOR CRM CAREERS (CRMFS) is a four-week, intensive field school experience designed to provide students with job-ready skills to enter the workforce as archaeological field technicians at the Cultural Resource Management (CRM) industry. Students will learn key skills necessary for CRM jobs, including survey, surface collection, shovel-testing, excavation, laboratory techniques, relevant laws, and reporting. Students will learn the entire process of CRM practices, from data collection to data reporting and mitigation. Practical field and laboratory activities are supplemented by relevant readings and formal lectures.

About Dr. Jason King

Dr. Jason L King is the Executive Director of the Center for American Archeology in Kampsville, IL. He earned his BA from the University of South Carolina and MA and PhD from the University of New Mexico. Since 2001 he has directed CAA fieldwork & field schools at several Lower Illinois Valley sites, including Mound House, Golden Eagle, Kampsville Lock, and German sites. His primary research interests focus on the formation and maintenance of social groups during the Woodland period.

An Analysis of the Hopewell Airburst Event Hypothesis with Dr. Shane Miller - Ruins 98

Dr. Shane Miller is back on the podcast to talk about a new paper that just came out. The Hopewell airbust event, published about in Nature Scientific Reports, is believed to be a series of near-Earth comets that are hypothesized to have had impacts on cultures living around 1600 years ago (252-383 CE). We dive into this paper and discuss its argument, the pitfalls/questions we have about the paper and where we want to see the research go in the future.

Ancient Ear Surgery, Roman Mosaics, and the Oldest Pants EVER! - Ep 161

We've got FOUR news articles for you today. The first is about the oldest ear surgery that took place over 5,000 years ago. She lived! For a little while anyway. Then we go to London where one of the best Roman mosaics to be found in the last century was uncovered. They had all the best things! Finally (sort of) we go to China and look at the oldest pants, or trousers, ever found. We have a fourth article about a new rock art dating technique but that's in our bonus content for members of the APN.
