This episode we discuss a major part of American history that has been omitted from most history book across the United States. As having anthropological backgrounds which saw some of the beginnings of institutionalized racism, it is important to address history that has been brushed under the rug. This is seen with Sundown Towns. There were thousands of these towns across the United States dominating counties, cities, towns, suburbs... With current events regarding human rights and curfews, it is important to bring awareness to this "forgotten" history found in America.Links James W.

On today's episode Chris, Stephen and Doug talk about the responsibility of recording history as it's happening around us. As the US explodes in protest over the murder of George Floyd archaeologists are wondering what to do about contentious history. What do we do with all the statues that really should come down? What do we do about the graffiti that is being created right now that represents the thoughts and emotions of protestors?

Today, the CRM Archaeology Podcast has the distinct honor of having as our guest cohost, Dr. Thomas King. Dr. King has been a giant in the field of heritage and cultural resource management for over 50 years and has not only been responsible for the education of countless students of CRM through his prolific authorship, but has had a hand in many of the laws and regulations we as CRM practitioners exercise everyday. Notably, Dr. King and his wife, Dr. Patricia Parker, while employed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in Washington DC from 1979-1989, wrote the National Register Bulletin 38, which has served as a U.S. government guideline document employed by many indigenous groups and local communities to protect their cultural heritage from destructive government projects. Dr. King's most recent book, Cultural Resource Management: A Collaborative Primer for Archaeologists, is an elegant and concise introduction to CRM aimed at emerging archaeologists. Although, it could be argued, since we should all be continuous students of all aspects of this discipline, that this book is an essential pocket guide to any level of archaeologist who respects the interdisciplinary and public policy elements of CRM.LinksNEPAFollow Our Panelists On TwitterBill @succinctbill; Doug @openaccessarch; Stephen @processarch; Bill A. @archaeothoughts; Chris W @Archeowebby, @DIGTECHLLC, and @ArchPodNetBlogs: Bill White: Succinct Research Doug Rocks-MacQueen: Doug’s Archaeology Stephen Wagner: Process - Opinions on Doing Archaeology Chris Webster: Random Acts of Science Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Find this show on the educational podcast app, Lyceum.fm!

Dr. D. Shane Miller is not your average southern boy. Rather, he is one of the more accomplished archaeologists in the country for his age, and currently is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Middled Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University.Shane started his career at the University of Tennessee where he got his undergraduate and his master’s degree conducting his thesis at the Topper Site.He later completed his PhD at the University of Arizona, and unfortunately, helped direct a field school in Nashville, Tennessee in which David was a young student. There is always a Sith and his master.We talk about Shane‘s career, some fun field stories, and have an interesting discussion about the field of anthropology in general.

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Dr. Chris Wilson, Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Australian Studies and Archaeology at Flinders University. In 2017, Dr. Wilson was the first Indigenous Australian to be awarded a PhD in Archaeology. Dr. Wilson tells how the discovery of family history/geneaology, family and community involvement, and the archaeology of whaling all tied together within his Ph.D research. Throughout the episode he also shows how the archaeological research being done in Australia today, including his own fascinating zooarchaeology work, is breaking down misperceptions of Indigenous Australians. Towards the end of the episode Dr. Wilson touches on Indigenous rights and repatriation in Australia. Note: This includes a brief (and disturbing) discussion on repatriation from anatomy labs.Links https://www.flinders.edu.au/people/christopher.wilson https://www.flinders.edu.au/braveminds/past-perspectives-from-a-pioneer David Horton aboriginal map Series-First Inventors https://www.buttermedia.com.au/ https://www.buttermedia.com.au/dr-chris-wilson Boomerang Rutledge Book [Coming 2020] Ngarrindjeri Ruwar and the Archaeology of the Lower Murray, South Australia PhD Thesis National Indigenous Knowledges and Research Network (NIRAKN) International community on monuments science conference Museum exhibit- National Museum ABC News 24 - Dr Christopher Wilson - Ngarrindjeri archaeology IPINCH BIO Articles about becoming the first Indigenous Australia to get a PhD https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/5017129/ngarrindjeri-man-chris-wilson-becomes-first-aboriginal-person-to-earn-phd-in-archaeology/ https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-20/first-indigenous-australian-to-complete-archaeology-phd-to-grad/8961894 Chris’ Email: [email protected] Contact Jessica [email protected] @livingheritageA @LivingHeritageResearchCouncil Lyle [email protected] Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we talk to Dr. Matthew Harpster about his recent collaborative paper in the Journal of Archaeological Science about modeling concentrations of maritime activity in the past using the submerged archaeological record.Here is the article abstract:With a goal of understanding and visualizing the shifting concentrations of movement across the Mediterranean Sea on a centennial basis, the MISAMS (Modeling Inhabited Spaces of the Ancient Mediterranean Sea) Project developed a new GIS-based interpretive methodology that collates and superimposes a series of polygons to model densities of maritime activity in the Mediterranean Sea from the 7th century BC to the 7th century AD. After discussing the project's use of place, space, and maritime landscapes as a theoretical background, this paper explains this new methodology then demonstrates and tests results representing activity in the 1st-century BC western-Mediterranean basin. These results, apparently manifesting distinct socially-constructed places, suggest that this new approach creates new opportunities to understand the movement of people and goods across the Mediterranean in the past, and the varying uses and perceptions of maritime space in antiquity. As this method requires a dense and well-studied corpora of archaeological data, it is theoretically applicable to other maritime regions that have (or will have) the appropriate dataset, and may represent a new research agenda in maritime archaeology.Links Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2019.104997 Dr. Harpster on Academia: https://ku.academia.edu/MatthewHarpster Research Center Website: https://kudar.ku.edu.tr/research-amd/ Contact Chris Webster Twitter: @archeowebby Email: [email protected] Paul Zimmerman Twitter: @lugal Email: [email protected] Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
