“Impudence.” - Ba'al “No tuna.” - Jack Stargate wasn't the first to mess around with Ba'al's characterization. Follow the storm-god from his ancient Near Eastern origins through his later demonization, then compare that long religious history with Stargate SG‑1's Goa'uld Baʿal to explore how symbols of godhood are built before being torn down.

In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton speaks with Phyllis Johnson and Erica Carmody about their recent open-access (no subscription required) Plains Anthropologist article, “Patriarchy Persists: Gender Inequities in Plains Anthropologist Publishing from 1954 to 2023.” Drawing on nearly seventy years of publication data, they examine persistent gender disparities in archaeological publishing, discuss why women's authorship rates have remained disproportionately low and, in some cases, declined since the early 1990s, and explore the structural factors that shape scholarly visibility and career advancement. The conversation considers what these patterns reveal about the history of Plains archaeology, how representation influences the production of archaeological knowledge, and what journals, institutions, and professional organizations can do to create a more equitable future for the discipline.

In this episode of Ethnocynology, David chats with friend of the show Dr. Alyce Cannon, who is an expert in classics and dogs in the classical world. The discussion begins with an overview of Alyce's research an ancient Greece and how dogs appear in pottery after the great Athenian plague. Then they begin to discuss Odysseus's dog Argos in Home's Odyssey: his roles, significance, and sad story. And discussed as well as whether or not he will be in the new Christopher Nolan version of the epic poem. Towards the end of the episode, the two discuss dogs and popular media and why the dog always has to die in films, and what this means for the human mind and it's connection to the ancient Classics.

In episode 166, Dr. Alan Garfinkel continues his discussion of a major Coso rock art panel, focusing on recurring symbolic elements and their possible cosmological meanings. He examines prominent figures depicted with snakes and distinctive staff-like wands, drawing on insights from researcher Bernard Jones and Hopi ceremonial traditions to explore connections between rock art, the winter solstice, and beliefs about maintaining cosmic balance. Alan discusses Indigenous concepts of the sun and moon as opposing yet complementary forces, including Nahua and broader Uto-Aztecan traditions that explain celestial cycles through mythic conflict and renewal.

In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton sits down with Robert Hoard and Zachary Day to discuss their recent article, “Ceramic artifacts from the 2019 excavations at the Tobias site, 14RC8 — evidence of local manufacture and trade at a Great Bend aspect site.” Together, they explore the significance of the Tobias site within Great Bend aspect archaeology and the broader ancestral Wichita world of the Central Plains. The conversation examines the Little River focus, the goals of the 2019 excavations, and the surprising discoveries revealed through ceramic compositional analysis. Although pottery was likely produced locally at Tobias, the clay sources near the site were not used, raising new questions about resource procurement, mobility, and technological choices among Plains communities. How do archaeologists distinguish trade from migration or cultural influence? What can pottery tell us about ancient interaction networks stretching hundreds of miles across North America? This episode explores how even small ceramic fragments can reshape our understanding of Great Plains connectivity, identity, and exchange. Article Citation: Hoard, Robert J., and Zachary R.

Today the show asks the question: Does CRM need universities to train the next generation of archaeologists? While we've talked about the deficiencies in university training for archaeologists, a new movement among CRM companies and industry leaders is trying to figure out if the industry can bypass universities and just provide training all on its own. Even though this show is hosted by two professors, our responses to this idea might shock you.

In episode 330 of The Archeology Show, we discuss the latest controversy over the site of Monte Verde in southern Chile, long considered a cornerstone pre-Clovis site dated to about 14,500 BP. We summarize a March 2026 study led by Todd Surovell arguing the key occupation layer is much younger (about 8,200–4,200 years ago) based on geological and stratigraphic analyses, including an 11,000-year-old tephra layer allegedly beneath deposits, claims of redeposited older wood from erosion and flooding, and luminescence dating of nearby sediments. We then review strong criticism, including scathing critiques from about 30 researchers including Tom Dillehay (author of the original work), disputing sampling locations, assumptions about redeposition, and whether the tephra identification is correct. It seems like both sides raise points but more collaborative research is needed before rewriting interpretations of early human peopling of the Americas. Links When did humans arrive in the Americas?

In this Q&A episode of Ethnocynology, David answers listener questions about dogs, archaeology, human evolution, and the ancient past. From whether Neanderthals had dogs, to why humans mourn dogs so deeply, to what ancient people may have named their dogs, this episode explores the relationship between humans and dogs across history. David also discusses archaeological misconceptions, Ice Age societies, ancient dog breeds, civilization, language, and what life may have actually looked like 20,000 years ago.

In episode 165, Dr. Alan Garfinkel interviews Dr. Meenakshi Dubey-Paik about her decades of research on India's rock art, including extensive work on painted rock shelters. She describes how some tribes treat certain sites as sacred for vows, offerings, and festivals, using signs/symbols, animal imagery, dance, and music-induced trance, while noting cultural change from relocation and the addition of later shrines (e.g., Shiva/Kali) that shifts attention away from older images. Meenakshi highlights key motifs (animals, honey collection, dancers, tiger beliefs), and urges education and conservation to prevent vandalism and development damage.

In this reflective Season 2 finale, George steps back from individual episodes to take the long view—exploring what deep time can reveal about human variation, ancient nervous systems, migration, farming, adaptation, and the ever-changing ways societies define what is considered “normal.” From the evolutionary origins of our survival-focused nervous systems to the profound social rewiring brought about by farming, this episode asks whether some of the struggles of modern life might make more sense when viewed against the vast backdrop of human history. Along the way, George reflects on brilliant conversations this season with Professor Duncan Garrow, Matilda “Tilly” Siebrecht, and Dr Andy Shuttleworth, bringing together themes of uncertainty, material culture, migration, cognition, and the extraordinary diversity of human experience.

On this month's episode, Jessica talks with Dr. José Capriles Flores (Associate Professor of Anthropology at Penn State). We talk about Dr. Capriles' journey from visiting Tiwanaku as a child with his late biologist and ornithologist mother to studying zooarchaeology and environmental archaeology across extremely varied ecosystems in South America today. Dr. Capriles discusses how archaic pre-pastoral communities adapted through time with outside influences from Tiwanaku, Spanish, and modern society, but whose descendants have maintained their connections to the land, livestock, and their past. Dr. Capriles describes several recent creative community collaborations, the balance of development with maintaining identity and belonging, and wide reaching networks of exchange from the archaeological record to the international archaeological collaborations today.

Last time in episode 183 we checked out the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) meetings and found out that while they are behind in public outreach and always a bit too academic for the sake of being academic, they are trying to change their ways a bit and that is a nice thing. Today we look at the unfortunate case of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), who has decided that feelings matter more than facts and irrelevance is preferable to change.

Today we bring you three stories from the news. The first is about an overcrowded cemetery in Colorado and it brings into question other cemeteries that date back over 100 years and the accuracy of records. Next we head to Scotland where a man-made island has been shown to have much more interesting architecture than previously though - and it's much older than researches believed. Finally, we talk about the archaeology being destroyed by Trump's border wall with Mexico.

In this episode of Ethnocynology, David has a deep discussion with Anjali Ranadive. Anjali Ranadive is a wildlife conservationist and founder of Women for Wolves, a California-based nonprofit and wolf-dog sanctuary focused on wolf conservation, rescue, education, and human–wildlife coexistence. Based in El Dorado County, her work bridges conservation, advocacy, policy, and storytelling to protect wolves and reshape how people relate to predators and the natural world. Anjali studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and is currently pursuing her master's degree in wildlife conservation. She received the Paul Walker Ocean Leadership Award for her work in conservation and serves on the board of Earth Daughters, an Indigenous-led organization focused on women's empowerment and environmental justice. David asks Anjali about her background and childhood, and how that got her into animals, conservation, and animal science. And then they discuss Anjali's first wolf-dog rescue, and how that led her to open the sanctuary. And as the episode progresses, they discuss Anjali's relationship with the Wolf dogs, what ancient people might have thought about wolves, and the current lobbying work she is doing within the California government to pass more legislation to protect wolves.

What if a once shared territory can foster a sense of belonging today and thus can help to heal problems of the present? Geza Frank, our guest in this episode of the EXARC Show, certainly thinks it can. This conviction lies at the heart of his upcoming project to circumnavigate the frontiers of the entire Roman Empire in historic outfit and equipment and by historic means of transport. Host Phoebe Baker talks with Geza, aka Gaius Flavius Constantinus Aeneas Stilicho, about his plans and how he expects a renewed focus on the Roman empire, by creating the largest UNESCO World Heritage site ever, can benefit people who live within the Limes, its former borders. From his unique perspective as a former soldier in a modern army, he also shares some salient insights into what, in his view, truthful reenaction of a Roman entails (and what not).

Host Dr. Alan Garfinkel interviews Dr. John Bellezza about his path from traveling in India and Tibet in the 1980s to focusing on Tibetan prehistory, archaeology, cosmology, and rock art, later earning a PhD at the University of Kent based on prior publications. Bellezza stresses learning Tibetan languages and working in the field as Tibet opened to travelers in 1984, then turning to pre-Buddhist traditions often erased or absorbed by Buddhism and long neglected by scholars. He describes discoveries at Lake Namtso, evidence for high-altitude pastoralism and hunting, and key finds in rock art and monuments, including chariots and standing-stone complexes. He previews ongoing rock art volumes and future work on bronze talismans and Old Tibetan texts.

Farming didn't just change what we ate—it changed how we lived, thought, and experienced the world. In this episode, we explore the origins of agriculture from the Fertile Crescent and the Natufian transition, through early settlements in Anatolia like Boncuklu Höyük and Çatalhöyük, and the spread of farming into Europe with the Linearbandkeramik culture. Along the way, George ask a deeper question: what did this shift mean for the human nervous system—and for neurodivergent minds? From mobile hunter-gatherer life to structured farming societies, this episode explores how one of the biggest transitions in human history may still shape how we think and feel today.

In this week's episode, we cover three archaeology news stories. First up, a Nature-backed report on unusually old woodworking from Kalambo Falls, where waterlogged conditions preserved a wedge, digging stick, and notched logs dated by luminescence to about 476,000 years ago, suggesting advanced planning and challenging simple “Stone Age” assumptions. We then discuss a Pompeii discovery of two skeletons outside the city walls near Porta Stabia, including a man apparently shielding his head with a terracotta bowl and carrying an oil lamp, and we debate the benefits and risks of an AI-generated scene reconstruction. Finally, we examine Peru's Monte Sierpe “Band of Holes,” over 5,200 aligned pits mapped by drones and analyzed via microbotanical remains, with a study proposing early market use and later Inca-style accounting patterns resembling quipu, while we question how and why such a vast system was built and used.

L'Art Antique, or the art of the classical/antique world [Egypt, Greece, Rome], has many stylistic elements developed over the centuries that remain highly prominent today. Arguably, no artistic movement has had a greater worldwide impact than Art Nouveau. When new artists look back to build on something ancient, they create something truly timeless.

Today we're reviewing Don Verdean (2015), the story of a washed-up Biblical archaeologist who, under pressure from his financial backers, begins to fake his discoveries. This movie is rife with pseudoarchaeological references, so we've invited Dr. Andrew Kinkella back to help us break it down.

In this episode, Alan speaks with Dr Jayc Sedlmayr about his research into indigenous theology and animal ceremonial traditions. Drawing on interdisciplinary backgrounds, Sedlmayr discusses his “Embodied Essence” project, which explores how many cultures understood spiritual essence as residing in bodily substances—especially bone marrow. He explains how this perspective helps interpret ritual practices involving bones, such as their treatment as regenerative “seeds,” their placement in ceremonial contexts, and their role in maintaining relationships between humans, animals, and the spiritual world.
