The long arm of the prehistoric past reaches through the millennia to grab our attention, and, in this episode, to grab us by the throat. Yes, we’re talking folk horror in this episode, and trying not to shiver as we discuss how the past intrudes in uncanny ways on the present in films, plays and books. We have a full cast of characters in this spine-tingler, including Dr Lauren McIntyre, Rebecca Lambert (or Lady Liminal), David Southwell of the Hookland Guide, Dr Simon Underwood and Drone Lord.Guest Socials @noddinggoth @ladyliminal1 @sunderdown @Drone_Lord @HooklandGuide @cultauthor ContactTwitter: @prehistpod Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's epsiode is all about mutual aid, anarchism and archaeology. I sat down recently with Aris Politopolis and Colleen Morgan, both of whom are members of The Black Trowel Collective. We discuss what the BTC does and in particular the function of its microgrants, which provide $5-$300 in grants to students of archaeology, with no questions asked.We also talk about the ways in which anarchism has influenced this kind of work and what "anarchaeology" may mean in terms of working with others.You can find out more about Black Trowel Collective by visiting the website https://blacktrowelcollective.wordpress.com/ or their Twitter http://twitter.com/blacktrowelDr. Aris Politopoulos - Twitter Dr. Colleen Morgan - Twitter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Archaeology and Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host David Templeman speaking on "An Exploration of Sheffield's Ancient Village Suburbswith David Templeman". This talk took place on Thursday, February 25th, 2021, online via Google Meets.David is a retired businessman, having worked in the leisure trade most of his working life. With a lifelong interest in history, on retirement, he indulged that passion by joining Sheffield Manor Lodge initially as a guide. Since then he has become an accomplished speaker giving talks all over the country on Elizabethan history with local connotations. In 2016, he became an author when his book “Mary, Queen of Scots the Captive Queen in England 1568-87” was launched to critical acclaim. The book has now sold just under 3,000 copies and has become recognised as the definitive version of the English captivity of Mary, Queen of Scots. David is a Member of the Marie Stuart society of which he has developed close links. He is also chair of the Friends of Sheffield Manor Lodge, which has almost 400 Members, with the current Earl of Shrewsbury as their patron. Over the last few years, David has devoted his research into bringing the old Sheffield- the one prior to the 19th century back into the public domain with a number of very popular talks, none more so than the Ancient Suburbs series.For more information about Archaeology in the City’s events and opportunities to get involved, please email [email protected] or visit our website at archinthecity.wordpress.com.

The 2020 field season was largely shortened by COVID - field schools were almost completely shut down. Even though we all played along like 2021 was going to be different, it looks like many field schools are already canceled. While this is happening CRM firms are demanding that university programs train students to know what CRM firms want them to know. The answer is obvious: CRM firms should train students in CRM though internships and partner programs.

In this episode, we are pleased to introduce Maria Diget Sletterød, a Danish archaeologist studying the Pre-pottery Neolithic in the Near East at the University of Copenhagen. We start off with a brief introduction as to how the hosts found Maria which was through an Archaeologists in Quarantine episode with Carlton hosted by Tash. Then we delve into her diverse archaeological research and excavation projects and how she has worked all across the Near East and Europe. David and Maria swap stories about visiting/working in Israel. We follow up with a discussion on Maria's thesis work and where the discipline of archaeology fits in the Danish educational system and what exactly is the "Pre-pottery Neolithic". We close the episode out by asking Maria about what it's like to work in the Near East, a region that is known in the American media for being geopolitically tenuous.Contact For Guest: Maria's Instagram: @maria_archaeology Maria's Email: [email protected] Maria's Source Recommendations: The Agricultural Revolution in Prehistory: Why did Foragers become Farmers- by Graeme Barker The Archaeology of Mesopotamia - By Roger Matthews The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt - By Ian Shaw Contact Email: [email protected] Instagram: @alifeinruinspodcast Facebook: @alifeinruinspodcast Twitter: @alifeinruinspod Website: www.alifeinruins.com Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For the last few months we’ve been talking about a new type of episode and here’s the first one: welcome to Timelines. This idea is all about taking an anchor event or time period that pretty much everyone has heard about and then looking at what was happening in other parts of the world at the same time. The idea is that sometimes these big anchor events can overshadow other really important things. Our first episode has the building of the pyramids at Giza in Egypt as the anchor.

David Sucec is Director of the Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) Rock Art of Utah. BCS is one of the more remarkable rock art expressions in North America. It dates from as early as 7,000 to 2,000 years ago and is mainly a polychrome painted style. The patterned expressions adorn the dramatic canyons of the spectacular Utah topography. The images are haunting and consist of very small but many times very large images of decorated and "floating" spirit figures. Sucec has dedicated over 30 years to the proper recording of this world class rock art tradition through detailed photographic imaging. Our discussion will focus on why has Barrier Canyon rock been so evocative and intriguing.

Then we travel to Stonehenge in England to talk about the origin of the inside circle of stones called the Bluestones.

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.

On this month’s podcast we have Dorothy FireCloud, J.D. 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. She gives her perspective on continuing the Lakota role of caretaker in her previous positions as Acting Deputy Forest Supervisor at Black Hills National Forest and Superintendent at Devils Tower National Monument.
