In this episode we discuss some things that have been going on in the world, mainly the US, especially the proposal on the ban on international students and how it affects universities and students.
A quick note on petitions: while they raise awareness, a government is not going to care about a petition started by a non-citizen (WH.gov petitions have a time period they were responded to under the Obama administration but the Trump administration has neglected active petitions there back to 2017). The most impact you can have right now is calling or emailing your elected representatives.

The concept of "good faith effort" is discussed a lot in archaeology. Archaeologists are required to survey and record cultural resources to the best of their ability or, using a good faith effort. What does this mean? How do you define it? We also talk about artifacts and other aspects of site recording and ask the question, "is everything important?"

This week, on a special sponsored episode, Anna and Amber explore some of the lesser-known Italic cultural groups that were peripheral to Ancient Rome. We seek out Samnites and uncover Umbrians. We also take a brief tour of Etruscan wine country.
On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. William Taylor, assistant professor and Curator of Archaeology at CU Boulder's Department of Anthropology. We delve into his early formative years and how he ultimately got into the field of Anthropology.

Kim talks to Erin Kavanagh, a poet and geomythologist based in Wales about the old Welsh “Book of Taliesin”, especially the recent translation into English by Gwyneth Lewis and Rowan Williams. How much can we learn about the post-Roman period of Britain from the literature of the time?

These hips don't lie. Amber and Anna talk with paleoanthropologist Mayowa Adeboyega about her research on the evolution of the pelvis. Mayowa also gives us some insights on the experience of being Black in academia, and how she uses science communication and the occasional silliness to make anthropology more accessible.
Steve Waller is an expert in the study of ArchaeoAcoustics. ArchaeoAcoustics is the study of sound in the prehistoric environment. Mr. Waller got his start in the caves of France while pursuing a passion for rock art study. One idea that Mr. Waller pursued was the idea that rock art was actually inspired by sound - specifically the sound in a cave. What Mr. Waller found was that the acoustic impacts of a location on rock art happen more often than anyone could have suspected.

Archaeology is time travel. Full stop. When. you’re standing on a site holding an artifact it’s interesting to imagine what the landscape and environment was like when the person that created it was standing there. Our guest, Dr. Mark McCoy, is using maps and digital archaeology to envision archaeology as Time Travel.
About Mark: Mark D. McCoy is an expert in geospatial archaeology and Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Southern Methodist University. He is the author of over forty scientific journal articles on the archaeology of the Pacific Islands.
