On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Maia Poston (They/Them; Tribal Liaison and Manager of Project Support for InContext). Maia talks about growing up at archaeology sites, their thesis on Manifest Destiny, Liminality, and Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, and eventually finding their way to NAGPRA work. For anyone new to NAGPRA or working with Tribes, they give lots of useful tips on how to approach the soft skills of that work, considerations to think about, and how to reframe your approach.

This episode delves into the ethical implications surrounding using human remains in archaeology and pseudoscience, particularly within the context of ancient alien theories. It critically examines how figures like Jaime Maussan have manipulated human remains to promote sensationalist claims of extraterrestrial involvement in human history, often neglecting the dignity of the individuals represented. The discussion highlights the troubling legacy of hyperdiffusion and racism that usually underpins these pseudoscientific narratives, contrasting them with the self-reflective practices emerging in modern archaeology. As the episode unfolds, it raises crucial questions about the responsibilities of both researchers and the public in handling and presenting human remains. Ultimately, it calls for a commitment to integrity and respect in understanding the past, advocating for a history that honors all of humanity.Digging up Ancient Aliens on the web: Show Page Website Email Facebook Twitter Instagram TikTok YouTubeSupport the show: Patreon Become a APN memberMusicThe intro music is Lily of the woods by Sandra Marteleur, and the outro is named “Folie hatt” by Trallskruv.ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode, Ash and Tilly have been given a quest by Dr Otalp to write a project proposal for the underwater landscape of Sitnalta, which used to be a land bridge connecting the ancient civilisation of Atlantis with the main continent. To help them write the proposal, they’ve enlisted the help of archaeologist, curator, editor, and all-round superwoman Dr Sasja Van der Vaart-Verschoof. Together, they will tackle those burning questions: What other underwater landscapes have there been? How important is a PhD to a future in freelance archaeological work?

In this episode, we uncover the Mycenaean roots of Ancient Greek deities and beliefs about death and the afterlife. The Mycenaeans controlled much of Greece and the Aegean Sea starting about 1700 BCE until about 1200 BE, when the Late Bronze Age collapse led to hundreds of years of political, social, and climate upheaval for the entire region. But through their monumental architecture, art, and stories they left behind, Classical Greek mythology was born. Discover the origins of deities like Dionysus, Poseidon, and Hermes and their original underworld associations. Journey into sacred sites the Greeks inherited from the Mycenaeans, like the Sanctuary of Poseidon with caverns that have been associated with sacred burials and the underworld as far back as the Neolithic. Then we'll take a look at Hades and several less famous Greek goddesses, gods, and monsters of death and the underworld.Transcripts For transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/09Links See photos related to episode topics on Instagram Loving the macabre lore?

In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, host Carlton Shield Chief Gover examines the Early Archaic period, a transformative era in the history of the Great Plains. Marked by significant climatic shifts following the end of the Ice Age, this period saw dramatic adaptations in human lifeways. Carlton delves into how these environmental changes influenced hunting strategies, as communities shifted from targeting megafauna to a broader range of game and plant resources. The episode also explores the intensification of space modification, with evidence of advanced land-use strategies emerging during this time.

This podcast delves into the peculiar claims made by the show Ancient Aliens regarding the Viking Age. Swedish archaeologist Fredrik and Norwegian archaeologist Steffen Bakk critically examine the episode that suggests Vikings may have had extraterrestrial influences, questioning the validity of such assertions. They highlight the absurdity of claims like Odin’s ravens being spy drones and the possibility of aliens crafting Viking weapons. The discussion tackles the issue of how ancient cultures are often infantilized and misrepresented, reducing complex societies to simplistic and fantastical narratives. Throughout their conversation, they emphasize the importance of grounded archaeological evidence over sensationalist interpretations, underscoring that ancient peoples could achieve remarkable achievements without invoking aliens.Links: Digging up Ancient Aliens on the web:WebsiteEmailFacebookTwitterInstagramTikTokYouTubeSupport the show: Patreon Become a APN memberMusicThe intro music is Lily of the woods by Sandra Marteleur, and the outro is named “Folie hatt” by Trallskruv.ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
