A Roman Fortlet, Grand Canyon Resources, and Redefining Prehistoric Gender Roles - TAS 216
This week we have three interesting archaeology news stories. First up is the recent (re)discovery of a Roman era fortlet in Scotland. Then we head over to the Grand Canyon where the Glen Canyon dam is having an unanticipated effect on downstream cultural resources. And finally we discus how digesta, or the partially digested vegetation in a large mammal’s digestive tract may have been a food source to prehistoric groups.

Kinkella Revisits Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Pseudo 115
With Indiana Jones 5 almost upon us, I thought it would be a good time to remind ourselves where we last left off with our favorite archaeologist. Indiana Jones 4 came out in 2008, took place in 1957, and was timeless in its ability to cheapen a franchise…

Exploring the Ethics in Experimental Archaeology - HeVo 73
On today’s episode, we have a panel talking about the ethics of experimental archaeology and specifically on their work together around the digitization of the Crabtree Lithic Technology Collection. We talk about why the Indigenous Advisory board members wanted to be part of these efforts, overarching ethics in experimental archaeology, and what this project is trying to do to address those ethical issues. Finally, we talk about the future of this project and how this project helps bridge the gap to where they’d like to see the fields of anthropology and collections get to in the future.

All we know is we know nothing - Tea-Break 11

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.
