Archaeo Mad Libs With The Dirt - BONUS May 13, 2020

Show notes

We took paragraphs from two very out-of-date archaeology papers and took out lots of key words. Then, listeners sent in their own word lists, with which we filled in those paragraphs! The results were very silly, and we had a lot of fun!

Stay tuned for upcoming live events, and come hang out with us on our stream!

Of Padawans and Paleoindians: A Conversation with Dr. Shane Miller - Ruins 21 May 11, 2020

Show notes

Dr. D. Shane Miller is not your average southern boy. Rather, he is one of the more accomplished archaeologists in the country for his age, and currently is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Middled Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University.

Shane started his career at the University of Tennessee where he got his undergraduate and his master’s degree conducting his thesis at the Topper Site.

He later completed his PhD at the University of Arizona, and unfortunately, helped direct a field school in Nashville, Tennessee in which David was a young student. There is always a Sith and his master.

We talk about Shane‘s career, some fun field stories, and have an interesting discussion about the field of anthropology in general. It was a blast.

The Dirt Stays Home - Ep 89 May 11, 2020

Show notes

Like most of you, we've been staying at home for the past several weeks, so we thought--what better way to distract our listeners from THEIR households than a look at OTHER people's households! Anna and Amber talk about how archaeologists' concept of "house" and "home" and "living space" has shifted over the years, and take a look at some ancient examples of home life.

For this episode, host Doug Rocks-Macqueen proposed a hypothetical scenario:

It is 2030, a cataclysmic event has destroy most of the country and now we are rebuilding our society. As one of the few remaining archaeologists the new government has tasked you with rebuilding CRM – new laws, new methods, anything goes, how would you do?

We all do our best to understand and interpret this scenario.
