Stories from the Field and Lessons Learned - CRMArch 195 Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

Description: We all have our stories where we "barely got out", or, "I can't believe that happened!" On today's episode Heather opens up and tells us about an experience just last year that her and her co-worker barely got out alive from. There were a lot of lessons learned from that incident and we hope you can learn from this as well.

If a Yoda, Archaeology had: A Philosophical Discussion with our Mentor Dr. Robert L. Kelly - Ruins 27 Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

On Episode 27 of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Robert L. Kelly. Dr. Kelly was all the cohosts thesis advisor at the University of Wyoming. Dr. Robert L. Kelly wrote the book, The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers: The Foraging Spectrum, on hunter-gatherer archaeology and the mathematical proofs behind it.

He was involved in early research at Gatecliff Rockshelter and then he continued on to influence archaeological theory for the rest of his career. He writes a regular textbook with Dr. David Hurst Thomas named “Archaeology” (latest edition).

He has also written a book on the future of archaeology called The Fifth Beginning.

We have a super interesting philosophical conversation about archaeology and its meaning. Bob recounts his early life and how he found his way out in the desert with David Hurst Thomas during his first days as an archaeologist.

We then discuss his transition from Cornell to the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan, and have a lengthy discussion about his mentor, Lewis Binford and his eccentric life.

The majority of the podcast however, is an in-depth conversation about anthropology, how the field has changed over the years, and what it means to be human.

Liminal Places with Rebecca Lambert - TAS 97 Aug 08, 2020

Show notes

Rebecca Lambert studies those places in our world that we don't either think about or even like to think about. Shadows, hidden areas, underpasses. These places are sometimes scary, sometimes strange, and sometimes make you feel different on the other side. What can we learn about places on the edge, or, liminal places? We explore these spaces on today's episode.

Finding Hidden Rooms at Teotihuacan with Science - Ep 134 Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

Teotihuacan was a massive, important, city near modern day Mexico City. There are several massive pyramids on the site and two of them have caves UNDER the pyramid. The pyramid of the moon was the focus of the paper linked below and Denisse Argote and Andres Tejero use two techniques to try to identify the presence or absense of a cave beneath it. Those techniques are Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT).
