Very Weird Yet Extremely Useful Tools - CRM Arch 231 Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

We’ve all seen other archaeologists use strange tools that are not part of any normal recommendation list. Sometimes they are just odd, but other times turn out to be incredibly useful. What are these tools that we have seen? How were they used? We’re they so good that you bought one for yourself, or so weird that you just chalked it up to another wacky story from the field? Let’s talk about these tools from excavation to survey to lab work.

Egyptology and Archaeology in Video Games with Megan Kumorek - Ruins 92 Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, we are joined by Megan Kumorek who is a writer and creative partner for the Middle East, North Africa, and Mediterranean Archaeology Publication Group and Promotional and Academic Partner for the Save Cultural Heritage Group. We start off by talking with Megan about her educational background in Archaeology, beginning with her undergraduate in Anthropology at Northern Arizona University and then Megan's M.A. program in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool in the U.K. We then dive into Megan's experiences in working on graffiti in Egyptian archaeology and what the transition was like from researching North and South American archaeology to studying the Egyptian Archaeological Record. We tie up the episode with a very fun and entertaining conversation about depictions of archaeology in video games. Turns out, Megan is a huge gamer! We cover a gambit of video games and how they represent archaeology. The video games that we cover include Tomb Raider, the Assassin's Creed games, World of Warcraft, Sims 4, Zelda, Jedi Fallen Order, Dragon Age Origins, and more!
