The Archaeology of Wine - TAS 215
This week we are taking a deep dive into the origins, history and archaeology of wine. We’ll cover the surprising “birthplace” of wine with some of the oldest evidence of wine making we have so far. Then we look at ancient shipwrecks in the Mediterranean and how they contribute to our knowledge of wine trade routes in Rome and Greece. And then finally, the oldest known wine type that is still in production today!

Miami Update, a 35,000 yo Face, and 17th Century Golden Dental Work - Ep 213
On this news show we start with an update on the excavations and controversy surrounding the development of a new set of luxury high-rises in downtown Miami. We then see what the face of a 35,000 year old man from Egypt looks like. Finally, would it hurt to have gold wires woven in and around your teeth to keep them in place? A 17th-century Frenchwoman likely had some opinions about it.

Style vs Function - Ruins 149
In this episode Carlton and David dip their toes into the style vs function debate in archaeology. This debate towards material culture stems from the transition of the Culture History approach into the New Archaeology paradigm of the mid 20th century. David and Carlton talk about the origin of the debate then provide several case-studies to illustrate their point. Per usual, the episode goes off the rails half way through the episode and somehow N*Sync, Elon Musk, and the next gen gaming consoles get brought up. As is tradition.

Addressing Job Dissatisfaction in the Workplace - CRMArch 260
Is there a solution to the current state of dissatisfaction in the workplace? The concept of dissatisfaction in the workplace has increased popularity of industries like culture advisors, professional coaches and development platforms, scheduling programs, management trainings, etc. From a company’s perspective, they are looking for a formula to fix the solution; however, the challenge is there are some issues that can neither be “fixed” and do not respond to formulas. What are the roles of employees and employers in addressing dissatisfaction and how will this period in our culture shape the future workplace?
