A Scary Tech Story - ArchaeoTech 115 Oct 31, 2019

OK, it’s not that scary. However, not understanding the tech you’re using and what it’s capable of can be a harrowing experience that can result in the loss of business and more importantly, a loss of scientific data.

Halloween Archaeohorror Stories Feat. Liz Pearson and Ellery Thomas - Halloween Special - Modern Myth Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

Spooky Scary archaeologists!

This podcast is an anthology of creative stories, all within the theme of Halloween and a little bit of heritage.

Content Warning: Body Horror, Depressive thoughts, violence.

The first story is "Mud", written and narrated by Tristan Boyle, it is the story of a field archaeologist who is confronting a sickening realisation.

The next piece is a song called Nan Tuck, by Chalk Horse Music. Liz (of Chalk Horse Music) describes a witch legend in the County of Sussex where I live in the UK. It involves a woman that lived in the 16th century, Nan Tuck, which became the inspiration for this song.

The final story, Eternal Rest, written by Tristan and read by Ellery Thomas tells of a museum conservator who's accidentally damage turns into horror.

Thanks to Liz and Ellery for their contributions, you can find their work at the following links:

Our Ruined Lives with Damian Kirkwood - Ruins 8 Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast, our hosts do something different. As opposed to interviewing an archaeologist and asking about their career, the hosts bring on zooarchaeologist Damian Kirkwood, whom they went to school with, and have a casual discussion about all things archaeology.

While the conversation begins with Damian explaining his credentials, the show quickly devolves into discussions about archaeological media representation, including a discussion on Indiana Jones, the Prime Directive, and a salty, yet educated argument against the existence of Bigfoot. we’ve decided to call the segment “Our Ruined Lives”.”

Oh, and don’t worry, we all agree that 10,000 BC is the worst film in cinema history.
