Et tu, Clovis? On the Efficacy of the Clovis Point with Dr. Devin Pettigrew - Ruins 112

On this episode we bring back Dr. Devin Pettigrew to discuss a paper that came out in 2021. The name of that paper is "On the efficacy of Clovis fluted points for hunting proboscideans" by Eren et. al.

Dr. Pettigrew is an experimental archaeologist and together we discuss the pitfalls/successes of this study. We really dive deep into the article and the data they are using to summarize their argument. Dr. Pettigrew also gives us a background in the ballistics of atlatls as well as information around the use of ballistics gel/ceramics to interpret penetration effectiveness. Dr. Pettigrew then tell us about some of his current research and things he is studying.

Fruits de la Mer - Dirt 193

Welcome to episode one of our themed month: The Dirt at Sea! The oceans (and seas and lagoons and fjords and so on) have provided people with food and other resources for hundreds of thousands of years. We’ll be discussing some examples of this from the archaeological record. We’ll also investigate how archaeology can get at the relationship between people and the big blue – and it’s much more than just reconstructing ancient coastlines.

Gamification of Education with RISC - ArchaeoTech 181

MEMBERS: DON’T FORGET THE BONUS TRACK! AND THANKS FOR BEING YOU!!

We talk a lot about how to get archaeologists to learn more outside the field of archaeology in order to better understand archaeology. On this episode we talk to JD Calvelli from the University of Chicago's Center for Radical Innovation and Social Change (RISC) about gamifying the learning of data science. However, this isn't for adults; it's for 4th-6th graders! Adults are able to learn as well, though. Learn something new and do it in a fun way.

Two archaeologists visit Chichen Itza - TAS 174

ENCORE: We recently had the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico. It was an incredible experience, but, being archaeologists, we of course came away with more questions than were answered! In this episode we give a brief overview Mayan civilization, including Chichen Itza, and then talk about our experience on an incredibly touristy tour! The take away is, do a little research ahead of time (like listening to this podcast!) to help prepare yourself before visiting the site!

The Past, Present and Future of Chichen Itza with Evan Albright - Ruins 111

On this episode, we talk with Evan Albright about his book "The Man Who Owned a Wonder of the World". This book (published in 2015), tells the story of Edward H. Thompson, an American who once owned the property on which Chichen Itza sits. We go through the history of this property and talk about guides, hotels, trains and what the future looks like for Chichen Itza.

Video Game Archaeology with Dr. Bill Farley - DIRT 192

There are surprising intersections between video game creation and archaeology, and that, of course, comes along with the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of mining ancient history for content creation. Neither Anna nor Amber really grew up playing video games, so we are extremely lucky to have a guest expert, Dr. Bill Farley, Associate Professor of Anthropology at South Connecticut State University. Bill will be our guide on the subject. The Toad to our Mario Party. Right? That’s a thing, right?

Maya Ask You a Question? A Conversation with Dr. David S. Anderson - Ruins 110

On this episode of A Life in Ruins podcast, we have back on one of our favorite guests Dr. David S. Anderson. We start out with a huge announcement (listen to this episode, we will not spoil it here). We then hit the when, where, what and why of the Maya. Dr. Anderson explains how we know that the Maya city-states "collapsed" and also talks about issues with the ideas around the word "Collapse". We finish talking about Carlton's experience at Chichen Itza and cultural tourism as a whole.

Open Source Protocols - ArchaeoTech 180

An important component of scientific research is reproducibility. In other scientific fields like medicine, protocols (step-by-step instructions) help ensure that another lab or another researcher can test our results. Lately, protocols for various technical aspects of archaeological research have been published, so Chris and Paul discuss the value of these publications.

Cargo Cults: Actually a Thing? - Dirt 191

First used to describe religious movements that emerged in Melanesia following contact with Allied military personnel in World War II, cargo cults are sects and ritualized behaviors intended to summon outsiders (and their stuff) back and bring about a new age. We’ll explore theories for why they come about, discuss some examples of cargo cults in the traditional definition, and consider what parallels might exist in other cultures.

They Told Us So - Dirt 190

We’ve had plenty of instances on the show (in the main feed and especially in Old News) of archaeological research bearing out information that existed already in the historical and oral traditions of Indigenous groups. We’ll discuss some examples of this, and we’ll also examine the relationship of Indigenous science and knowledge with the Western systems that actively invalidate and exclude them.
