The Boyz Catch Up - Ep 131
Honestly, Carlton is writing this episode description the night before the episode releases and he completely forgot most of what we talked about. Generally, the three fill each other in on what they've been up to since September, why the APN went on hiatus in October, how Carlton is handling being a new professor (spoiler alert: he's still considering buying a boat and becoming a "Sea Person"), and the list of guests appearing on the show. This is definitely a laid-back episode with minimal archaeology, but it'll make you chuckle.

Archaeology of Middle Earth - Ep 130
Just a heads-up, this episode was recorded back in September before the APN went on a brief recording hiatus. Chris and Rachel deserved the time off. This episode was recorded after Carlton and David had watched episode 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Since then, the show has wrapped up.
In this episode, Carlton and David try to talk about the archaeology of Middle Earth. But they soon realize that archaeology may be pointless since elves are immortal and are living history tomes. So they review the show, nerd out about Tolkien's Middle Earth, and Carlton discusses the dystopian futurism themes in Lord of the Rings.

Of Mountains, Exploration and Journalism: A Conversation with Matt Stirn - Ep 129
On this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast Connor and David sit down with Matt Stirn, a professional archaeologist, photographer and journalist.
After catching up, the podcast as usual begins with how Matt got into archaeology. And as you might’ve guessed, he’s involved with Wyoming archaeology, and got his start when he was only 13 years old.
Matt ended up doing fieldwork in Colorado with Dr. Richard Adams in Colorado State University doing high altitude archaeology. He also was Connor‘s TA on his field school.
Matt elaborates on his research and the importance of pinenuts two people living at high altitudes in Wyoming, and his masters thesis on predictive modeling regarding pine nuts and high altitude.
We end the show with a conversation about Matt‘s current career and the state of archaeology. Matt took an interesting route becoming a journalist after becoming a scientist, and he discusses how that really benefits what he does now. Matt also gives advice to students looking to do something similar.

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Pseudo-Archaeology Podcast about the Cerutti Mastodon site.
The 130,000-year-old Cerutti Mastodon site in San Diego is a place where you can definitely find mastodons, but were people there at the same time? It sure doesn’t look like it.

PROMO - Sutton Hoo "Ghost Ship" and The Dig - The Archaeology Show 111
The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Archaeology Show about Sutton Hoo and the Netflix film, “The Dig”.
With the recent release of The Dig, a Netflix film focused on the excavation of the incredible Anglo-Saxon burial ship at Sutton Hoo, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at this site!

Oldest Mound Site in North America? with Dr. Shane Miller and Dr. Jesse Tune - Ep 126
On this episode of the podcast, Connor and David sit down and chat with veteran guests Drs. Jesse Tune and Shane Miller to discuss the recent LSE mounds paper.
They first dive into how Jesse and Shane have been on the show multiple times, and that they always have an educated and constructive conversation. Beginning with an overview of Southeastern archaeology and mound history, they then dive into the mounds. The hosts and guests discuss how the paper was published by geologists in a journal that isn’t known for archaeology. They also discuss how the dating and geology in the paper is a little odd.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins, we provide information about undergraduate and graduate school. We start off joking about our favorite episodes (all of them are our favorite) and then dive into things to consider when applying to undergraduate and graduate programs. We talk about our differing experiences in undergrad and the positives and negatives of each of our experiences. Importantly, we dive into how to research graduate programs, and factors surrounding how to choose a school are then discussed. We then wrap it up with other ridiculous conversations.

ENCORE: Down Unda’ the Sea with Dr. Maddy McAllister - Ep 120
On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Maddy McAllister, a maritime archaeologist with the Museum of Tropical Queensland. Dr. McAllister is known for her educational Instagram account, @shipwreckmermaid. As Dr. McAllister is an Aussie, we naturally first have a conversation about the differences between our endemic wildlife and the hazards of working in the wild. This is followed by a discussion of how Dr. McAllister, and other underwater archaeologists, plan out their projects, record data, and conduct their research. We also have some salty discussions of sailing stories, shipwrecks, and other things that blow Connors and Carlton's minds. David was literally born on an island -he gets it.

ENCORE Something A-foot in White Sands National Monument with Dr. Shane Miller and Dr. Jesse Tune - Ep 119
ENCORE: Something's afoot. There is, yet again, another controversial preclovis find. This time, away from the West Coast and in New Mexico. The controversy surrounds human footprints found in White Sands National Park that are dated between 23 and 21 kya.
To discuss these possible pre-Clovis footprints, we invited Dr. Jesse Tune and Dr. Shane Miller on the show to contextualize the data. We begin with an open discussion about the recent published report and try to understand what the researches found at the site. We then chat about their controversy, how it’s hit the mainstream media, and what the ramifications of the repaint are for archaeology.
The conversation then turns into a open dialogue about scientific biases, as well as the role of Indigenous oral traditions and their incorporation into scientific theories.

ENCORE: If a Yoda, Archaeology had: A Philosophical Discussion with our Mentor Dr. Robert L. Kelly - Ep 118
On this episode, we are taking our first vacation. We are going to leave you with a classic episode of ours. Enjoy!
On Episode 27 of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Robert L. Kelly. Dr. Kelly was all the cohosts thesis advisor at the University of Wyoming. Dr. Robert L. Kelly wrote the book, The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum, on hunter-gatherer archaeology and the mathematical proofs behind it.
He was involved in early research at Gatecliff Rockshelter and then he continued on to influence archaeological theory for the rest of his career. He writes a regular textbook with Dr. David Hurst Thomas named “Archaeology” (latest edition).
He has also written a book on the future of archaeology called The Fifth Beginning.
We have a super interesting philosophical conversation about archaeology and its meaning. Bob recounts his early life and how he found his way out in the desert with David Hurst Thomas during his first days as an archaeologist.
We then discuss his transition from Cornell to the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan, and have a lengthy discussion about his mentor, Lewis Binford and his eccentric life.
The majority of the podcast however, is an in-depth conversation about anthropology, how the field has changed over the years, and what it means to be human.

Vincent got his PhD at the University of Michigan where he studied under Milford Wolpoff, who is also the teacher of Dr. Jim Ahern, Connor and David‘s biological anthropology teacher.

Like most episodes with PhD‘s, the conversation gets heavy discussing the quagmire that is academia and whether it is right for some people or not.
We end with a discussion about Neanderthals, as Vincent is a wealth of knowledge the subject.

Carlton and Connor then keep asking her questions because they are nerds and love pirate history.
