Indigenous Archaeology and Decolonization with Kay Mattena - Ruins 102

In this episode, we are joined by Kay Mattena, a Ph.D. student in Archaeology and Indigenous Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, a Descendent of the Citizen Band of Potawatomi, and first appeared on Episode 54: SAA 86th Annual Conference, and Indigneous Response. We talk about her earliest encounters with science, nature, and archaeology and delve into her undergraduate career. We then take a deep dive into Indigenous archaeology and how museum collections can be decolonized. We finish out by talking about ethnoarchaeology and experimental archaeology.

It's A Wash - DIRT 183 (ENCORE)

(ENCORE) This week, Anna and Amber decided to clean up their act and take a look at the history of bathing and hygiene. We’re dipping our toes into Roman baths, sweating through Finnish and Russian saunas, discussing the shrewd marketing behind the “Halitosis Effect,” and more. Plus, what even IS soap, anyway?

Talking Dogs, Data, and Mental Health (but mostly dogs) with Dr. Angela Perri - Ruins 101

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, David and Connor talk to Dr. Angela Perri about her lengthy CV and her academic/professional career. Dr. Perri is currently the top researcher in the world in terms of understanding the relationship between humans and dogs in the ancient world. So clearly, David's ears perked up.

As usual, we first dive into Angela's early life and career in anthropology, and talk about her interesting transition from a Las Vegas bartender and Oregonian undergrad, to being a PhD student in the UK.

We then discuss her time at Durham University and her dissertation research, which took her to Japan, Mongolia, and the American Southeast. We also talk about her time and research at the Max Planck Institute studying dog genomics and DNA. David and Connor also ask Angela multiple questions about dogs, dog domestication, and the human/dog relationship.

We then end on Angela's career advice and have a heart to heart conversation about mental health, Academia, and CRM.

ArchaeoAcoustics With Steve Waller [Encore] - Rock Art 75

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.

Live Show: The War in Ukraine with Simon Radchenko - Ruins 100

For our first live show and in celebration of our 100th episode, we had originally planned for a dynamic and audience-interactive experience full of bits, challenges, and guest appearances. However, due to the recent invasion of Ukraine by Putin’s Russia, we wanted to use our platform to support the people of Ukraine. We were joined by Simon Radchenko, a Ph.D. candidate in Archaeology at the University of Turin, in Turin Italy. Simon is a Ukrainian archaeologist that first appeared in Episode 34, and joined us live from Italy. *Originally recorded live on March 12th, 2022*

In this episode, we chat with Simon about cultural differences between Ukraine and Russia, the history between the two countries, and his personal story about leaving Kyiv and getting to Italy. During the show, we took live questions from the audience.

Anthropology and Science Fiction with Pat Edwards - Dirt 181

Pat Edwards is an author, game builder, and creator of all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy content. We all sit down and puzzle through some questions about the boundaries between archaeological interpretation and fiction, the use of anthropological tropes in pop culture, and strategies for drawing from the archaeological record for fictional world-building. We had a blast with this unconventional topic, and we hope you enjoy listening!

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.

Semotics and Rock Art with Trace Fleeman Garcia - Rock Art 73

Trace Fleeman Garcia joins me today for an interview and collaborative discussion. He is an inter-disciplinary researcher for the Oregon Institute for Creative Research. We talk about the discipline of semiotics, which is the study of the meaning of meanings and its direct relationship to our study of Rock Art when we’re evaluating symbols and trying to understand their cultural content. Join us for a fascinating and wide ranging discussion, I’m sure you’ll like it!
