That's right. Winter IS coming. The winter of 2022/2023 but also the "winter" of your career. If you look at a CRMArch career as a single year, at some point you'll be at the end of that year/career. Are you prepared for either? On this episode we talk about preparing for the winter. Should you work? Do you have to? How much money do you need to live? And much more.

Truly we are talking ancient history, since “Cladh Hallan: A Story in Several Parts” was episode 18, way back in 2018 when we still had no idea what we were doing and long before the content that was migrated to the APN feed. This may be the first time some longtime listeners (including you?) have heard this story, and we’ll round it out with some additional context for the subject matter. Find out what we sounded like before Anna really got the hang of sound editing!

On this episode of a Life in Ruins Podcast, Connoe is joined by Dr. Alex Garcia-Putnam and Christine Halling to talk all things bioarcheology. We start off by delving into Christine's career in archaeology/anthropology and take about how her and Alex met. We then dive into their jobs, what they do and how buried remains can move miles or so during natural disasters in Louisiana. We finish out our conversation talking about the basics of bioarchaeology and some of the research both Christine and Alex are doing currently and have done in the past.

It's been a few weeks since we have had a news episode and in that time there has been so many great stories we had trouble deciding which ones to chose! First up is a million year old skull found in in China. Then we head over to Greece where researchers theorize that mysterious stone spheres are part of a board game. And finally, a discussion about the recent Scientific American cover story "The Power of Viking Women."

On this episode Dr. Stefani Crabtree and Dr. Jennifer Dunne join us to discuss their recent paper on the new field of Archaeoecology. While it is often acknowledged that there is an overlap between the fields of archaeology and ecology, it has not been defined as a separate area of study until now. The study of Archaeoecology aims to show not only how humans impact nature, but also how the ecosystems they lived within shaped human culture and dynamics.
**Coprolites were recovered nearby in Paisley Cave. Luther Cressman recovered sagebrush sandals from Fort Rock Cave, but noted that Paisley Cave was likely "one of the most important sites for Early [humans] in the whole West" where the coprolites were later recovered by Dennis Jenkins and his team.

On this episode of the podcast, Connor and David sit down and chat with veteran guests Drs. Jesse Tune and Shane Miller to discuss the recent LSE mounds paper.
They first dive into how Jesse and Shane have been on the show multiple times, and that they always have an educated and constructive conversation. Beginning with an overview of Southeastern archaeology and mound history, they then dive into the mounds. The hosts and guests discuss how the paper was published by geologists in a journal that isn’t known for archaeology. They also discuss how the dating and geology in the paper is a little odd.

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.

There have been an awful lot of news stories lately featuring “lost” sites or structures “revealed” by the effects of drought and climate change. Way to look on the positive side, I guess! We’ll take a look at some of these sites and more broadly, the effects of climate change on current archaeology. Both of your tired hosts were a bit punchy during recording, so this episode is ever so slightly goofy despite the gravity of the topic. But we hope you enjoy it!

This is the map that proves that ancient civilizations with technologies far beyond our own were able to visit Antarctica back when it was warm there. Wait, are you saying you don’t believe me? Well good for you! This map doesn’t do any of that stuff. It’s still pretty cool on its own though.

In this episode, Carlton is joined by Chance Ward, an M.A. student in Museum and Field Studies at CU Boulder and a Tribal Citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The two start the episode with a discussion on how Chance got into Anthropology at Fort Lewis College. We then delve into his post-undergrad career in CRM and working for the Southern Ute Tribe. Carlton investigates why Chance chose CU Boulder and they get into a dialogue about how Chance's grad school experiences have shaped the direction of his career. In the final segment, Carlton and Chance talk about their recent media experiences together such as being interviewed for a PBS documentary on horses and a conversation they had with Mel B's (Yes, the one from the Spice Girls) agent.

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.
