Rethinking Women in Pre-History with Lady Sapiens - Ep 189

A few episodes back we mentioned a documentary and book called Lady Sapiens: a journey into prehistory to look at women's roles and realign our assumptions. Thomas Cirotteau is a director and directed the documentary Lady Sapiens that looks at new research in this area. We bring him on to talk about this subject and some other things he's working on.

Experimental Archaeology - Ep 188

In the subfield of experimental archaeology, researchers use historic and pre-historic methods and materials to recreate different artifacts and items in the archaeological record. By doing this we learn how peoples of the past made the things we find during excavation, which adds to the context of the life people lived at that particular time period. This week we discuss 3 examples of experimental archaeology in the news including the boomerang as a multi-use tool, how large pots were created in Crete, and the reinterpretation of an artifact found at Sutton Hoo.

A Cultural History of Glacier National Park - Ep 187

We recently spent some time in Glacier National Park, and while we were there we took a tour of the park lead by Jack Gladstone, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. We were blown away by not only his cultural knowledge of the area, but also his amazing singing and songwriting! We just had to share (with Jack's permission of course!) some of the tour, plus some information on the prehistoric peoples of the area, the historic development of Glacier into a national park, and some of the recent archaeology they have found in the park.
