Homo Erectus, Neanderthal and Roman Food! - Ep 19711 Dec 202200:33:30

This week we happened to find 3 news stories about evidence for eating and cooking food in the ancient world. First up is the first evidence of Homo Erectus cooking fish 780,000 years ago. Then, we fast forward to 70,000 years ago and leftover evidence of a Neanderthal meal gives us insight into how they prepared food.

Ancient Apocalypse or Modern Lies? - Ep 19527 Nov 202201:02:34

CORRECTION: Graham Hancock wrote Fingerprints of the Gods NOT Chariots of the Gods which was written by Erich von Däniken. Our apologies for mixing up the two titles! The latest archaeological injustice from Graham Hancock is in the form of a brand new, and popular, Netflix series called Ancient Apocalypse. We talk about the eight-episode series, what we liked and what we didn't. Is Graham Hancock right? Is there evidence of an ancient civilization that lived during the last ice age that some how didn't make it through the ice age but did have time to reboot civilization in the people that were left? We'll see.

An Archaeological History of New York City - Ep 19206 Nov 202200:49:09

New York City has had a long and varied history. From the time of the Native Americans to the late 1800s when the boroughs were folded into the city limits many people, cultures, and events have left their mark. That mark leaves a material culture that has been excavated by teams of archaeologists over the last half-century or more. That artifact collection now has a home and as a result, this book was written to tell the story OF that collection. We bring on two of the four authors in this episode to talk about the book and the city.

Nan A. Rothschild is an urban social archaeologist who was Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College and is adjunct professor at Columbia University.

H. Arthur Bankoff is the advisor to the chair for archaeology at the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and is a professor emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.

PROMO: Forges, fieldwork, and frying pans - Tea Break 316 Oct 202201:01:24

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 one of our newer shows, “Tea Break Time Travel.” Enjoy!

The trowel is generally considered to be the essential piece in any archaeologist's toolkit, but how long have trowels been around and what kinds of trowels can you use in excavations? In this episode, Matilda chats with professional archaeologist and blacksmith Dr Zechariah Jinks-Fredrick about why we choose the tools that we do, but also the development of metal tools and metalworking in the past. What's the difference between a cow bone and a trowel? Very little apparently...

PROMO: Domestication and Human Brain Size with Stefan Milo - A Life in Ruins 10509 Oct 202200:56:14

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 the “A Life in Ruins” Podcast with one of their more popular episodes. Enjoy!

On this episode of A Life In Ruins Podcast, we have our good friend and frequent collaborator Stefan Milo on the podcast. Stefan is in the process of researching for a video on human brain size, and we talk about what he has found. Researchers have noted a decrease in brain size in humans within the last 30,000 years. We take a deep dive into how brain size has changed throughout the evolution of the genus Homo and potential reasons for the decrease in brain size. We talk about the possibility of human self-domestication and the theories surrounding it.

The New Science of Archaeoecology - Ep 19025 Sep 202200:54:03

On this episode Dr. Stefani Crabtree and Dr. Jennifer Dunne join us to discuss their recent paper on the new field of Archaeoecology. While it is often acknowledged that there is an overlap between the fields of archaeology and ecology, it has not been defined as a separate area of study until now. The study of Archaeoecology aims to show not only how humans impact nature, but also how the ecosystems they lived within shaped human culture and dynamics.

**Coprolites were recovered nearby in Paisley Cave. Luther Cressman recovered sagebrush sandals from Fort Rock Cave, but noted that Paisley Cave was likely "one of the most important sites for Early [humans] in the whole West" where the coprolites were later recovered by Dennis Jenkins and his team.

Experimental Archaeology - Ep 18811 Sep 202200:39:32

In the subfield of experimental archaeology, researchers use historic and pre-historic methods and materials to recreate different artifacts and items in the archaeological record. By doing this we learn how peoples of the past made the things we find during excavation, which adds to the context of the life people lived at that particular time period. This week we discuss 3 examples of experimental archaeology in the news including the boomerang as a multi-use tool, how large pots were created in Crete, and the reinterpretation of an artifact found at Sutton Hoo.

We recently spent some time in Glacier National Park, and while we were there we took a tour of the park lead by Jack Gladstone, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. We were blown away by not only his cultural knowledge of the area, but also his amazing singing and songwriting! We just had to share (with Jack's permission of course!) some of the tour, plus some information on the prehistoric peoples of the area, the historic development of Glacier into a national park, and some of the recent archaeology they have found in the park.

ENCORE: We recently had the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico.

In this episode we give a brief overview Mayan civilization, including Chichen Itza, and then talk about our experience on an incredibly touristy tour! The take away is, do a little research ahead of time (like listening to this podcast!) to help prepare yourself before visiting the site!

Sacred Pools, Badass Prehistoric Women, and Giant Cave Art - Ep 17115 May 202200:49:35

We've got a few articles that are all over the place - literally - this week. The first is about a re-analysis of what was thought was an ancient harbor in Italy. Turns out there's more to it. Next we talk about, well, the prehistoric world in general as it pertains the role of women. As with everything, there's more to that story and it's way more complex than early researchers would have liked. Finally we have a story of massive cave art in a hard-to-access area in Alabama. The figures are massive and would have been difficult to see in their entirety.

2022 marks the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of Tutankamun's tomb, and in celebration Dr Daniela Rosenow and Oxford Professor Richard Parkinson have helped create a museum exhibit that tells the story of its discovery and excavation. This unique approach highlights the people that did the excavation rather than the artifacts themselves for a unique approach to one of the most famous Egyptian archaeological discoveries. Join us for a conversation with Dr Rosenow and Professor Parkinson about the people responsible for excavating Tutankamun's tomb.
