Historical Archaeology for the Future - Ep 60

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Dr. Ayana Omilade Flewellen (they/she), Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Riverside. Through Dr. Flewellen’s work in historical archaeology of the African Diaspora focusing on the era of Enslavement and post-emancipation, we talk about how the way people, in this case Black women, dress and adorn themselves and how those practices are shaped by larger factors, including racism and sexism. We also dive into the work of the Society of Black Archaeologists and Diving With a Purpose to tell a larger story of Black history in the field of Anthropology and to the general public, as well as to provide opportunities for the next generation of Black scholars and maritime archaeologists.

Land Acknowledgements and Catching Up with Anna Cordova - Ep 58

On today’s podcast Jessica catches up with Heritage Voices Episode 8 guest Anna Cordova, Lead Archaeologist for the city of Colorado Springs (although, to be clear, she is not representing the city with this interview). Anna is also Chairman on the Board of Trustees of the non-profit Jessica co-founded, Living Heritage Research Council. First, we talk about what Anna has been up to since her episode, including her role on the award winning Palmer trash discovery archaeology project at Garden of the Gods. Then we move into Land Acknowledgements. What are they, how can they be improved, and how important are they? We close out by talking about various ways you can make a positive impact with Indigenous communities regardless of whether you do a land acknowledgement, including donating, board or volunteer service, buying from tribal enterprises, visiting and financially supporting tribal parks, museums, and community centers, etc.

Perishable Artifacts and Tribally Driven Archaeology - Ep 57

On today’s podcast Jessica interviews Dr. Edward Jolie (Oglala Lakota and Hodulgee Muscogee), the new Clara Lee Tanner Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum and Associate Professor at School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. We talk about perishable materials, such as textiles, baskets, nets, and footwear, and why they are understudied, how they offer unique insights into the past, and what they can teach us about diversity and continuity both within and across regions. Throughout the podcast we continually return to the human element of perishable artifacts and associated research, including the movement to tribally driven archaeology.
