Building the Virtual Rosewood Cemetery - Archaeotech 185 Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

Dr. Ed Gonzalez-Tennant joins us again in Paul's absence to tell us about the site he's been working on for many years now: The Rosewood Cemetery in Florida. Situated on private land, the Rosewood cemetery is difficult to get to and difficult to maintain. Without some sort of official support it's likely to stay that way. Ed has been documenting the cemetery using a number of recording means. This work has culminated in the virtual Rosewood Cemetery. We talk about that process and the implications regarding virtual archaeology in the near future.

Kinkella Visits "The Thing" - Pseudo 98 Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to one of the creepiest nights of my life. Alone on a desert highway one evening in 1998, I decided to pull over into a deserted parking lot. The parking lot belonged to a large storage building which had a huge sign on the front proclaiming that it housed "The Thing." Against my better judgement, I walked in...

ENCORE Something A-foot in White Sands National Monument with Dr. Shane Miller and Dr. Jesse Tune - Ruins 119 Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

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.

Summer Blockbuster 3: Avatar - Dirt 200 Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

To wrap up our inaugural Summer Blockbuster series, Amber leads us on a mission to Pandora with Avatar (2009). Rather than exploration of the culture of the indigenous Na’vi population (or maybe in addition to), we’ll examine some of the philosophical underpinnings of the franchise and discuss the book that completely changed Amber's intellectual trajectory.
