    CRM Drama, The Lighthouse at Alexandria and Neanderthal Woodworking - TAS 344 Nov 02, 2026
    Show notes

    This week we cover 3 recent archaeology news stories. First up we discuss the recent dissolution of one of the largest CRM firms in the country, and what that short and long term impacts of that closure could be. Then we head over to Egypt where a recently uncovered signet ring depicts the Lighthouse at Alexandria (or a Dalek?!?). And then finally new evidence at a sight in Spain shows that Neanderthals were making tools out of wood.

    Diving into Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump with Dr. Shawn Bubel and Dr. Kevin McGeough Part 2 - Plains 53 Oct 29, 2026
    Show notes

    Carlton and Chris reunite with Drs. Shawn Bubel and Kevin McGeough of the University of Lethbridge to continue their discussion of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you missed Part 1, listen to it before turning to Part 2, in which Shawn and Kevin discuss their recent Plains Anthropologist article, “Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump: The Durative Power of Keystone Institutions and Embedded Knowledge.” In both the article and this episode, they move beyond archaeological and behavioral-ecological models that view buffalo jumps primarily as meat factories to explore the sites’ broader social and cultural significance. What are “keystone institutions” in hunter-gatherer archaeology, and how can archaeologists identify them? What is embedded knowledge, and how is it expressed at Head-Smashed-In? What happens to a cultural system when the institutions that sustain it are suddenly taken away? And how have the Blackfoot reclaimed some of this embedded knowledge in the recent past?

    Article Citation:

    Shawn Bubel and Kevin McGeough (04 Jun 2026) Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump: The Durative Power of Keystone Institutions and Embedded Knowledge. Plains Anthropologist, in press.

    The Vanderbilt Report is Right! - CRMArch 343 Oct 28, 2026
    Show notes

    Today, Heather and Andrew discuss the recent “Vanderbilt Report” which said that anthropology needed to be a bit less activist, a bit more approachable to normal humans, and use a bit less jargon. The American Anthropological Association disagreed, and then Heather and Andrew disagreed with the AAA!

    The Lair of the White Worm (1988) - Screens 140 Oct 25, 2026
    Show notes

    It’s still spooky month, so we watched The Lair of the White Worm (1988), an unhinged Bram Stoker adaptation about a sexy immortal snake woman sacrificing virgins to a larger and more phallic snake, and an intrepid “Scotch” archaeologist who saves the day with a snakecharming bagpipe song and magic sporran. Excuse me: “Scots”. As usual we talk a little about archaeology, a lot about cryptids, and after five years still struggle to figure out this whole Zoom thing.

    Tolkien and Dogs With Ash and Tilly - Ethno 47 Oct 24, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, David is joined by fellow APN hosts Ashleigh Airey and Tilly Siebrecht to discuss all things Tolkien, but mainly the dogs in the Tolkien Legendarium.

    The first discusses how they got into Tolkien and the Peter Jackson trilogy as kids, and how it grew into a lifelong love of the stories, and the episode quickly details from there.

    Once they return from a break, the 3 hosts then get on track about the dogs of the Tolkien universe, including Huan from The Silmarillion, the wargs of Isengard, and the various wolves controlled by Sauron, as well as the dogs owned by Farmer Maggot.

    They then wrap up by discussing lots more about Tolkien and the 3 trilogies, plus the new Rings of Power show.

    Cultural Beliefs and Symbolism in the Archaeological Record with David Bruner - Rock Art 175 Oct 23, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, Alan speaks with Dr. David Bruner about the connections between cultural beliefs, symbolism, and the interpretation of the archaeological record. They explore the Bakongo cosmogram and its possible expression in African American burial traditions, including reversed writing on grave markers and pipes placed in graves. The conversation also draws parallels between street art in New Orleans and prehistoric petroglyphs at Little Petroglyph Canyon, considering how personal rivalries, cultural differences, and changing beliefs may influence the creation, alteration, and erasure of imagery. Highlighting the importance of cultural context and multiple perspectives in understanding and preserving the past.
