Using Lidar to Analyze Chacoan Road Profiles - Ep 208

We’re talking about Chacoan road networks again! A few years ago we interviewed Sean Field. He was doing research on the road networks coming into and out of Chaco Canyon. Sean Field is at it again with another paper but this time he’s using Lidar to analyze road profiles. It’s an innovative technique and Chris and Paul discuss it on this week’s show.

Geophysical Surveys in Ohio with Dr. Jarrod Burks - Ep 160

Dr. Jarrod Burks of Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc joins us on the show today to talk about his pioneering geophysical work in Ohio. Dr. Jarrod Burks specializes in geophysically detecting the unseen archaeological record that surrounds us. He is also president of Heartland Earthworks Conservancy, an organization that works to study and save Ohio earthworks. Dr. Burks’ day job takes him all over the country, and beyond, to survey archaeology sites, cemeteries, and even look for lost WWII soldiers. Back home, he fell in love with Ohio’s Woodland period mounds and earthwork sites more than 25 years ago when he moved to Columbus to pursue his doctorate in Hopewell settlement research at The Ohio State University. He now spends a good amount of time each year surveying earthworks, retracing the footsteps of the 19th century mappers and travelers…as well as discovering previously undocumented sites.
