The New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast

In this special two-interview episode, we are joined by Brian Fritz (Quemahoning LLC) and Chelsea Colwell-Pasch (Colbr Consulting) for back-to-back interviews about techniques they are using for deep archaeological testing in eastern North America. They each discuss the equipment they’ve designed to conduct deep testing in the region, what sort of projects deep testing is valuable for, and some of their success stories. We also have a very special live hit piece with Michelle Bebber and Chris Wolff about their new edited volume, “From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers of North America”.

This fortnight we’re joined by Matt Betts, who argues that reports of culture-history’s death may have been premature. So tonight we’ve got paradigms and epi-paradigms, systematics, evolutionary theory, and Matt even explains why archaeological theory is like a Chinese buffet. It’s like if your grad school culture history class was not only fun, but edgy. So come be theoretically subversive and tune in. Show Notes:Betts, Matthew W, and M Gabriel Hrynick. 2021.

This fortnight, we're back from our winter recording hiatus to bring your an interview we recorded before the winter, but an intro and outro that's as fresh as the 90 km/h chinook winds. Gabe and Ken spoke to Kelley Berliner who is the Eastern Regional Director at The Archaeological Conservancy about what her job entails (everything from real estate to alien bunkers under a river), how the archaeological conservancy secures, protects, and preserves archaeological sites, and weighs in once again on the merits of Ohio.

This fortnight we're getting biblical, and as we thread the needle between Hannukah and Christmas, we figured what better way than to head back to the source material. That's right, it's the Early Woodland in the Levant (aka the Iron age) and we've got Dr. Kevin McGeough (University of Lethbridge) on the Pod to talk about the Ark of the Covenant. Ken and Gabe have read Kevin's new book Readers of the Lost Ark and we get Kevin to answer all your questions: could it be a conduit to God? is it a weapon? is it an alien radio? and just how many Finnish mystics does it take to excavate the Temple Mount?

Set your clock a half hour ahead, because today on the New Brunswick Archaeology podcast we’re talking to Don Holly about Newfoundland and, especially, the Beothuk. Whether you’re interested in agency and history in hunter-gatherer studies, or you want to know about some of the earliest Indigenous-European interactions in North America, you won’t want to miss this show. Don also reflects on the legacy of his collection of American Antiquity reviews, “Talking to the Guy on the Airplane,” conspiracies, and why being an archaeologist both is and isn’t like being an HVAC guy. Finally in this Era of fast takes, he tell us why he’s going to listen to the new T-Swift album a few more times before he forms his opinions on it.Show NotesSassaman and Holly, Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology as Historical Process https://uapress.arizona.edu/book/hunter-gatherer-archaeology-as-historical-processHolly, History in the Making https://www.amazon.com/History-Making-Archaeology-Subarctic-Woodlands/dp/0759120226Holly, Talking to the Guy on the Airplane https://thekeep.eiu.edu/sociology_fac/36/Holly Jr, D.

This fortnight we're going deeper than we have--and maybe any of you have--before into geoarchaeology and the necessity for deep testing. Gabe and Ken chat with Dr. Heidi Luchsinger, RPA (Precision Geoarchaeology Inc/ERM) and Karl Kibler, RPA (Cross Timbers Geoarchaeological Services) about the Society for American Archaeology's Geoarchaeology Task Force. We talk about the importance of geoarchaeology as part of the CRM planning process, deep testing and why it should be better regulated and applied, and their work on the SAA's "Statement on Deep Testing for Terrestrial Sites and Professional Qualifications for Geoarchaeologists in Cultural Resource Management in the United States." These might be the deepest thoughts we've ever had on the NB Arch Pod, so grab your backhoes and augers.

If you, like us, have ever been bewildered by the Early Woodland, this is the show for you. This week we’re joined by Dr. Jess Robinson, the Vermont State Archaeologist, and while "The radiocarbon dates are not voluminous", his knowledge about the Early Woodland is. A maple creemee is of course different from an ice cream, but is Middlesex the same as Adena?

This fortnight, we sit down with his dudeliness, Dr. Gary Coupland (Prof. Emeritus, University of Toronto), ostensibly to talk about complexity but in doing so have to ask, what really is complexity? We’re talking status inequality, a wealth of beads, and the best way to cook salmon. Unfortunately, Ken didn’t remember to ask Gary how the Leafs will do this year, but we can be reasonably assured they will win it all.

The New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast is on the road again! This fortnight, Ken is reporting from the first ever Canadian Cultural Resources Association Meeting in Toronto (and, of course, from an airport Chilis). Not only does Ken provide sober analysis and insight, he also gave a talk himself (we’ll post that along with his interview of himself some other time). If you’re interested in the future of the past, you won’t want to miss this episode and Ken’s interviews with: Marie-Anne Paradis (CCRA, Artéfact Urbain), Matthew Munro (Stantec), Matt Beaudoin (TMHC), Richard Grubb (ACRA, Richard Grubb and Associates), Kenneth Aitchison (FAME, Headland Archaeology)Aaron Detler (Haudenosaunee Development Institute), Maryssa Barras (ICOMOS Canada and City of Hamilton), Dallas Tomah (Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick), and Sara Beanlands (CCRA, Boreas Heritage Consultants)

This fortnight, we’re joined by Dr. Michael O’Rourke, the Climate Change Archaeologist for the Northwest Territories (NWT) government for our next instalment in our climate change series.

This fortnight we’re bringing you an episode about a podcast. The HIS 399 class at the University of New England, under the tutelage of Eric Zuelow (historian) and Arthur Anderson (archaeologist), recently produced “Falling By The Wayside,” a documentary-style podcast about some buildings at the University of New England campus that were almost lost to history. Arthur and Eric, along with Peyton Stevens, Marissa Carter, and Kai Watkins will tell you about the process of producing the podcast, about the challenges and joys of merging archaeology with history, and a little bit about Biddeford at the turn of the 20th century. Tune in to hear about it, and then check out their podcast.Show Notes & Hit Piece:Falling by the Wayside Podcast: sites.une.edu/unepast/Dr. Eric Zuelow, Dr. Arthur Anderson, Marissa Carter, Peyton Stevens, Kai WatkinsCreditsSponsors: APANB, ULeth Faculty of Arts & ScienceProducer: Emanuel Akel LinkedIn

This fortnight, the Northeast is engulfed in a heat wave and Alberta has returned to periglacial conditions. Gabe is therefore on assignment poolside while Ken stokes the fire and says a prayer for his tomatillos. Whether you’re in a daiquiri or a hot toddy setting today, get ready to change latitude and change attitude as the NB Archaeology Podcast goes south of the border. In the latest installment of our Great Sites series, we’re joined by Arthur Anderson of the University of New England to tell us all about Maine site 5.06 or the village of Chouacoët. 5.06 is the so-called village described by Champlain in 1605, but Arthur’s recent work there suggests some 2000 years of Indigenous occupation at the site, and complicates archaeological understanding about what a village should look like.

Content Warning: this episode deals with sensitive topics like drug use and sexual harassment.Archaeology is a lot of fun, and it’s even more fun when you aren’t on the business end of a bear bluff charge. In this episode, we are joined by Greer Vanderbyl (22:37), Carol Colaninno (59:53), and Nadine Byers (1:22:43) for big picture advice about field safety. Greer discusses building a culture of safety among your field crew, Carol provides advice for field directors to help combat sexual harassment in the field, and Nadine explains why archaeologists should consider adding Naloxone to their first aid kits.

This fortnight we learned you can take the Loyalist out of the states, but maybe you can’t take the states out of the Loyalist. You certainly can’t take the cannon out of the dooryard. Tune in to hear Dr. David Black tell us about Sam Bliss, the well armed shopkeeper turned soldier turned well-armed Quoddy Region farmer. And it’s not just weapons, Dave will also tell you about what the Blisses ate and raised on his Island.

This fortnight, the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast makes sure you don’t feel like you’re up a creek without a paddle. Your hosts, Ken and Gabe, talk about dugouts, birchbark canoes, skin boats, and portage routes in a 13000 year tour of what we know, and especially what we don’t, about watercraft. We also introduce our new producer, Emanuel Akel. Finally, we’d like to fondly remember Dick Doyle, friend and archaeologist extraordinaire. Check out Emanuel’s Podcast, Noize & Freeze Files, https://open.spotify.com/show/3uwx3f15B8zijkAXYlPZci?si=0960c2b904b84a89&nd=1&dlsi=79e9a10758944d87Show NotesAdney, Tappan, and Howard Irving Chapelle (1993).
