For the first season of the Site Bite’s Podcast, we will be exploring Chaco Canyon archaeology with this season’s featured co-host, Rob Weiner. Rob is a Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder. He talks about his passion for Southwest archaeology and his current research.
