Osiris and Isis: Love Never Dies - DiA 11

Love never dies; it’s not just a musical sequel to Phantom of the Opera, it’s the ancient story of love, murder, loss, a great journey, resurrection, and love again. Even if it’s only part-time. Isis and Osiris are so well-known that much of their origins are lost to time (for now), but we can still follow them to today.

Thank you for supporting me by listening during this PODCASTATHON CHARITY EPISODE!!

Osiris and Isis: Death of Love - DiA 10
APN - Renee

The golden couple, the epitome of goodness and love from Ancient Egypt. Isis and Osiris were and are couple goals, together throughout eternity, except in Stargate. But before getting to that, we have to cover the myriad of names, the history and the myths wherein one is free to have his relife, and one is the most powerful god or goddess in the Pantheon.

Dr Jayc Sedlmayr and Supernatural Gamekeepers - Rock Art 163

Dr Jayc Sedlmayr and Supernatural Gamekeepers - Rock Art 163
APN - Alan Garfinkel

In this episode, Alan speaks with Dr Jayc Sedlmayr about his research into indigenous theology and animal ceremonial traditions. Drawing on interdisciplinary backgrounds, Sedlmayr discusses his “Embodied Essence” project, which explores how many cultures understood spiritual essence as residing in bodily substances—especially bone marrow. He explains how this perspective helps interpret ritual practices involving bones, such as their treatment as regenerative “seeds,” their placement in ceremonial contexts, and their role in maintaining relationships between humans, animals, and the spiritual world.

Migration/Dispersal with Dr Andy Shuttleworth - ADHD 204

Migration/Dispersal with Dr Andy Shuttleworth - ADHD 204
APN - George Lomas

In this episode, George is joined by Dr Andy Shuttleworth to explore human migration—or more accurately, dispersal.

Humans move. We always have.

Archaeology can often show us the push factors—climate change, pressure, survival—but the pull is harder to see. And yet, it’s hard to ignore the possibility of something deeper: an innate drive to explore.

Together, George and Andy discuss:
• Why movement is such a fundamental part of being human
• The role of neurodiversity in exploration, planning, and adaptation
• What the archaeological record can—and can’t—tell us about successful and failed migrations

Sometimes we find evidence of people arriving somewhere new…
But not always clear signs they survived, or that baboons didn’t get there first …

And that leaves us with one of archaeology’s most powerful truths:
We can trace movement—but we can’t always know how the story ended.

Rejuvenating Native Languages - HeVo 105
APN - Jessica Yaquinto

On this month’s episode, Jessica speaks with Dr. Neyooxet Greymorning (University of Montana; Departments of Anthropology and Native American Studies) about language rejuvenation. Dr. Greymorning tells the story of his journey into the work of language rejuvenation, as well as his own experiences with Arapaho as a child. He then explains how he developed his rapid language teaching methods based on how children learn and understand language but that would also fit the context of where he would be teaching. Dr. Greymorning describes the incredible language learning of his students using this method, as well as the challenges in getting educators to try to accept the method and the possible outcomes. Ultimately, these challenges led to one aspect of his current work where he is conducting language learning tests with dolphins!

The Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) with Chris Nicholson - Plains 40

The Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) with Chris Nicholson - Plains 40
APN - Carlton Shield Chief Gover

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton speaks with Christopher Nicholson, Director of the Center for Digital Antiquity, about the role of digital archives in preserving and accessing archaeological data.

In the first half, Chris introduces tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record) and explains how it serves as a centralized repository for archaeological reports, datasets, and other research materials. He discusses the challenges of inaccessible or “lost” data, especially gray literature, and how tDAR helps ensure that valuable information from past projects remains available for future research.

In the second half, the conversation turns to the relevance of tDAR for Great Plains archaeology. Chris highlights the types of regional resources available on the platform and how researchers, students, and professionals can use these materials to support new research and teaching. He also reflects on the future of digital archaeology and the importance of long-term data preservation and open access for the discipline.

Don Verdean (2015) w/ Dr. Andrew Kinkella - Screens 127

Today we’re reviewing Don Verdean (2015), the story of a washed-up Biblical archaeologist who, under pressure from his financial backers, begins to fake his discoveries. This movie is rife with pseudoarchaeological references, so we’ve invited Dr. Andrew Kinkella back to help us break it down. As a bonus, he uses his film degree to explain why, despite being hilarious, this movie is actually terrible.

Three discoveries, one shifting landscape: a mysterious buried structure beneath the ancient city of Buto, the newly identified tomb of Pharaoh Thutmose II near the Valley of the Kings, and the remains of a massive Coptic monastery at Al-Qalaye. We dig into what the finds reveal about Egypt’s long arc—from dynastic power to Christian communities—and how modern tools are changing what archaeologists can see.

Luggage of the Gods (1983) - Screens 126
APN - Joshua Lindal

Luggage of the Gods (1983) is the surprisingly unproblematic story of a relict tribe of cave people living in the uncharted central part of America who are thrust into contact with the outside world when an airliner is forced to dump its passengers’ luggage while flying overhead. This is a low budget ‘80s caveman movie, so you know what that means: we’re playing Caveman Movie Bingo!
