Welcome to another archaeology news episode! We have three stories to discuss this week. We start with what’s basically an ancient beer factory in Egypt. Then we travel to Stonehenge in England to talk about the origin of the inside circle of stones called the Bluestones. Finally, we look at an ancient Chinese City that archaeologists have spent many years excavation.We discuss these articles from the perspective of an archaeologist to show how a skeptical and scientific perspective can clear up what journalists think is important about recent discoveries.Links Archaeologists Discover Ancient Beer Factory in Egype - CNN Ancient beer factory unearthed by archaeologists in Egypt - NBC News The original Stonehenge?

ENCORE (Original release: Sept 14, 2016)In early August we created a survey that was placed on Facebook and it was titled "99 Problems". Based on recent and ongoing conversations on Facebook regarding issues with people that work in CRM Archaeology, the survey was designed to find out what those problems actually are and what we can do about them. On this episode, the hosts discuss the results.

Today’s podcast features returning guest Dr. Antoinette Jackson, Professor Department of Anthropology Chair at the University of South Florida. We go in depth about her new book Heritage, Tourism, and Race: The Other Side of Leisure. This book was written in response to the common question, “Why are there so few minority visitors to National Parks?”. In response, Dr. Jackson challenges mainstream beliefs about leisure and race, as well as highlighting African American active and diverse pursuits of leisure in spite of the legal and social exclusion. We explore the original enslaved African caving history at Mammoth Cave, the Green Book, Black entrepreneurship, and Black beaches during segregation. We close out by discussing how COVID-19 reframes the concepts of space and exclusion for those who have maybe never had to think about it before, as well as where Dr. Jackson sees the Black Lives Matter movement taking the conversations and hopes present within the book.Links Book: Heritage, Tourism, and Race: The Other Side of Leisure Book: Speaking for the Enslaved: Heritage Interpretation at Antebellum Plantation Sites Dr. Jackson: [email protected] Contact Jessica [email protected] @livingheritageA @LivingHeritageResearchCouncil Lyle [email protected] Please Visit Our SponsorsArchaeology Southwest Cafe: https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/things-to-do/cafe Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ms. FireCloud is the National Park Service’s Native American Affairs Liaison, Assistant to the Director in the Washington DC office, and a member of the Sicangu Lakota [Rosebud Sioux Tribe]. Ms. FireCloud describes her career ladder in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United States Forest Service, and the National Park Service leading to where she is today.

We also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted tribal consultations, what she would like to accomplish in her current position, and paths people can take if they are interested in federal careers.

For this episode, the two co-hosts sit down with Dr. Steve Lekson to discuss the legacy and impact of Chaco after the peak of its influence in the Southwest around A.D./C.E. 1050. We hear about the famed “Chaco Meridian” and the role of archaeology as part of the “Colonial Package”. We explore interpretations regarding where Chacoan peoples moved to after Chaco and where they went after that too. Dr. Lekson stresses the importance of inter-regional archaeological investigation and thinking about the big picture when it comes to archaeological research. Finally, Dr. Lekson makes a prediction on the future of Southwest archaeology and the legacy of his research.Links Lekson, Stephen H. 2009 A History of the Ancient Southwest.

In this episode of Site Bite’s Season 1, we bring on Paul Reed to spar with Rob Weiner over varying interpretations of Chacoan archaeology. Paul starts off by reflecting on his early career working with the Navajo Nation from the late 80’s to early 2000’s and how that has shaped his perspectives on the need for Indigenous collaboration in archaeological research. The major debates we discuss are: the productivity of agriculture, population density, and the role of Great Houses at Chaco. After our professional debate, Paul talks to us about his ongoing activist work with Indigenous Groups, Federal agencies, and archaeological groups on protecting our archaeological heritage, such as Chaco, from energy development projects.Links Benson, Larry V., Deanna N.

On the second episode of Site Bite’s Podcast season one, Carlton and Rob talk with Dr. Cathy Cameron about the origins of Chaco. We dive into the contemporary interpretations of where the people came from behind the monumental structures at Chaco as well as what the area was like before Chaco became a center of ritual and political influence. We discuss the broader Chacoan world such as Mesoamerican relations and Chacoan outlying settlements in the Southwest. We conclude this conversation with Dr. Cameron with her research on captive taking in small-scale societies and how that relates to Chacoan population demographics.Links Cameron, Catherine M. 2009 Chaco and After in the Northern San Juan: Excavations at the Bluff Great House.

On the first episode of Site Bite’s Podcast season one, Carlton and Rob talk with Rich Friedman about the landscape and chronology of the famed Chaco Canyon archaeological site.

This is followed by a discussion of how Dr. McAllister, and other underwater archaeologists, plan out their projects, record data, and conduct their research. We also have some salty discussions of sailing stories, shipwrecks, and other things that blow Connors and Carlton's minds.
