This week, Anna and Amber take a look at foodways in the archaeological record of North America. What does archaeological evidence say about what was cooked, who was cooking, and what vessels were used to prepare and store food? What evidence is there for recreating ancient and pre-contact diets? How does this fit in with contemporary food sovereignty movements among Indigenous people? How great are potatoes? All this and more!

Show notes

Today’s podcast guest is Carson Black, a graduate student at Central Washington University. Carson studies Primate Behavior and Ecology and is basically the next Jane Goodall. Carson did her undergraduate degree in Biological Anthropology at Colorado State University in Fort Collins (GO BUFFS). She wrote her senior thesis on Mantled howler monkey and sexual dimorphism in their feeding posture! Carson did primatology fieldwork in Costa Rica, archaeological and paleontological fieldwork in Northwest and Central Wyoming. She is super passionate about anthropology and other social topics. So get your howler monkeys howling and prepare for a poop-slinging episode of A Life of Ruins Podcast.

The Modern Myth of Foreign Policy with Dylan Burns - Modern Myth - Episode 8 Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

This is a very special episode of Modern Myth. We are talking all about foreign policy, what it is, how it affects our lives and why it is important that we are open about it. In this episode I talk to the youngest foreign policy advisor in the United States of America, Dylan Burns about foreign policy and its connection to heritage and history. We discuss modern conflicts and the relations between countries as well as what it means for repatriation in the future.

Also at the end of the discussion because this was livestreamed with Dylan, I answered some of the questions given to me in the chat.
