The Face on Mars and its Appearance in “Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders” - Pseudo 116

I’ve always found the Face on Mars to be one of the more fun and likable examples of pseudoarchaeology. What’s not fun and likable is sitting in your room in 1988 waiting for your Commodore 64 to upload an image of the Face on Mars in the video game “Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders.”

Puerto Rican Prehistory, a Bone Punch Board, and a Lost Underwater Cemetery - TAS 217

This week we have 3 news stories. First we head over to Puerto Rico where new analysis of human remains from a 4,000 year old site is helping redefine what we know about the early inhabitants of the island. Then we look at a 39,600 year old bone from Spain that may be a leather punch board. And finally, the Dry Tortugas National Park has found a lost underwater cemetery off the coast of Florida.

REFRESHER: The "Mane" Event with Dr. William Taylor - Ruins 154

For this week we are re-releasing Episode 80 - The “Mane” Event with Dr. William Taylor. Why? Well we will soon be releasing another episode with Dr. Taylor where we will be discussing his recently published article in Science titled: Early dispersal of domestic horses into the Great Plains and northern Rockies.

For this episode, we are joined again by Dr. William Taylor, who first appeared on the podcast in episode 25. We start out by discussing Dr. Taylor's COVID experience as a new professor and how his museum projects had to change to adapt to the new COVID landscape. We then delve into the research surrounding the Lehi horse. Dr. Taylor explains his methods of analysis and how they can be used to tell us about individual specimens, while also contributing to the larger discipline. We then talk about his research on early horse domestication at the Botai site.

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

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

If you want to discover some definitive answers to the mysteries of archaeology, then this might not be the episode for you (or the podcast series to be honest!). But if you want to hear theories of the start of metallurgy, discussions over Neolithic perceptions of death, insights into early hominin technology, or excellent advice on knapping, then you will want to hear this.
