In the final episode of Season 1, we wrap up our series on Chaco and Southwest archaeology through a conversation with our fellow graduate student, Patrick Cruz. Patrick is a citizen of the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in New Mexico and he impresses upon us the importance of Indigenous perspectives in archaeological research and interpretations. Patrick reflects on his experiences visiting ancestral sites and being both an Indigenous person and an archaeologist.Links Begay, Richard M. 2004 Tsé Bíyah ‘Anii’áhí: Chaco Canyon and Its Place in Navajo History.

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. We start off by getting Rich’s background in geology and how that education propelled him into Chacoan archaeology.

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we interview Dr. Maddy McAllister, a maritime archaeologist with the Museum of Tropical Queensland. Dr. McAllister is known for her educational Instagram account, @shipwreckmermaid. As Dr. McAllister is an Aussie, we naturally first have a conversation about the differences between our endemic wildlife and the hazards of working in the wild. 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.

This week, Amber takes Anna on a guided tour of her beloved Arabia. Learn about the varied mountains, deserts, and oases that are nowhere near as empty or inactive as Western explorers might have you believe. We examine the archaeology of Tell Abraq, get scammed by a guy named Ea-Nasir, solve the mystery of Magan (hint: not actually a mystery), and share insights from skeletal remains about community care and compassion thousands of years ago.

Dr. Jonathan Marks has written numerous books on anthropology, genetics, and has begun to write about racism and similar topics in science. Chris talks to him about his last book on scientific racism and his upcoming book about creationism. This is a great discussion about things that we don't talk about much in anthropology and the sciences, but should.Jonathan Marks is Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he has taught since the beginning of the present millennium, after brief stretches at Yale and Berkeley. His primary training is in biological anthropology and genetics, but his interests are broad, and he has published on the topics of human origins and human diversity across the sciences and humanities from American Anthropologist to Zygon. In 2006 he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2012 he was awarded the First Citizen’s Bank Scholar’s Medal from UNC Charlotte. In recent years he has been a Visiting Research Fellow at the ESRC Genomics Forum in Edinburgh, at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, and a Templeton Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Notre Dame. His work has received the W. W. Howells Book Prize and the General Anthropology Division Prize for Exemplary Cross-Field Scholarship from the American Anthropological Association, and the J. I. Staley Prize from the School for Advanced Research. His most recent book is called Is Science Racist? (Polity Press), and next one is called Why Are There Still Creationists?. And although he has written books called What it Means to be 98% Chimpanzee and Why I am Not a Scientist, he is somewhat paradoxically about 98% scientist, and not a chimpanzee.Links Is Science Racist?
