In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, host Carlton Shield Chief Gover sits down with Matt Reed, Chief and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) for the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. Matt shares how his role as THPO serves as both a cultural and regulatory responsibility—protecting sacred sites, ancestral landscapes, and Pawnee heritage through a tribally driven preservation program.The conversation explores how Pawnee worldviews and values shape historic preservation efforts, highlighting the spiritual and cultural importance of place. Matt also discusses what it means to lead as both a traditional leader and a THPO, and how the Pawnee Nation asserts sovereignty while navigating consultation and compliance with federal and state agencies.This episode offers a powerful perspective on the intersection of leadership, land, and legacy—and what it takes to preserve history with integrity and purpose.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/23LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

In this first of a two-part series, The Past Macabre travels back to Late Iron Age Britain before the Roman conquest to explore the world that shaped one of history's most famous warrior queens: Boudica. Her story has been told many times for nearly two millennia, but what is the truth behind the Celtic warrior queen who stood against Rome? Uncover the archaeology of her tribe the Iceni, from sacred sites, workshops, and homesteads. We'll explore the first contacts between Rome and Britain as early as the 2nd century BCE to Caesar's failed invasion in 54 BCE and the uneasy alliances that turned native leaders into Roman client-kings. Then we'll look at how growing disunity amongst the Celts paved the way for Emperor Claudius' invasion in 43 CE.Learn about the hoards of treasure, settlements, burials, and hillforts found across England and what they can tell us about the world Boudica was born into at a time of rapid social, economic, and political change.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/17LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

While the ancient neurodivergent mind behind microlith technology didn't leave us a written record, they did leave behind a legacy of precision, adaptability, and cognitive brilliance: the microlith!In this episode, George dives into the origins and spread of microliths — tiny stone blades that sparked a revolution in human toolmaking. Through a blend of archaeology and imagination, we follow a fictional neurodivergent innovator named Aru who sees what others don't, crafting the first microlith and passing that knowledge down through generations of clever, creative descendants.LinksWurz, S.

So Chance and Carlton were unable to get a recording together with the Federal Funding threats to the Historic Preservation Fund keeping their schedules incredibly busy into the evening. So, instead, here's an ENCORE episode from A Life in Ruins Podcast featuring Chance and Carlton back in graduate school.In this episode, Carlton is joined by Chance Ward, an M.A. student in Museum and Field Studies at CU Boulder and a Tribal Citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The two start the episode with a discussion on how Chance got into Anthropology at Fort Lewis College. We then delve into his post-undergrad career in CRM and working for the Southern Ute Tribe. Carlton investigates why Chance chose CU Boulder and they get into a dialogue about how Chance's grad school experiences have shaped the direction of his career. In the final segment, Carlton and Chance talk about their recent media experiences together such as being interviewed for a PBS documentary on horses and a conversation they had with Mel B's (Yes, the one from the Spice Girls) agent.LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

This episode is a special preview of the Kingdom of Pylos exhibit at the Getty Villa ahead of the livestream on June 27. Step into the Late Bronze Age with special guest Claire Lyons, curator of antiquities at the Getty. She provides insight on the exhibit, from the collaborative efforts that went into putting it together to details about some of the fascinating Mycenaean artifacts that will be on display.Most of the artifacts on display come from the tomb of the Griffin Warrior, a completely intact burial discovered in 2015 that changed what archaeologists knew about Mycenean Greece. We'll explore the archaeological site where this important discovery was made known as the Palace of Nestor, its role in ancient Pylos, and the legendary King Nestor from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/16LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

Ultimately murdered by the state for being, well, Socrates, this potentially ancient neurodivergent individual was famed for his eccentric social skills (or lack of) as well as for his unparalleled ability to see through absolutely anything anyone said or did.

At the same time, the Mississippian culture in North America was building giant mounds and the Great Zimbabwe in Africa were building remarkable stone structures. In this episode we discuss these 3 distinct cultures that thrived during the same time period, in very different places.LinksTAS episode 163 - Timelines 1100 in North AmericaTAS episode 290 - The Archaeology of Moana 2Easter IslandMississippian PeriodGreat ZimbabweGreat ZimbabweContactChris Websterchris@archaeologypodcastnetwork.comRachel Rodenrachel@unraveleddesigns.comRachelUnraveled (Instagram)ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN Discord: https://discord.com/invite/CWBhb2T2edAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion

Ash and Tilly are on a quest from the Bazkardum Society to investigate a new Door of Durin. Joining them is archaeologist and rock carving specialist Dr Megan Kasten, who helps in answering their many many many questions. What is Reflectance Transformation Imaging? Why is Ash suddenly obsessed with puns?

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, host Carlton Shield Chief Gover speaks with Stacie Laravie, citizen of the Northern Ponca of Nebraska and former Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. Stacie shares insights into the deep history and enduring resilience of the Ponca people, with a focus on the legacy of Chief Standing Bear—whose 1879 court case established, for the first time in U.S. law, that Native people are “persons” under the Constitution.Together, they explore the archaeology of Ponca homelands, the impacts of forced removal, and how material culture and oral history work together to tell the story of a people who never forgot where they came from. Stacie also reflects on her work in historic preservation and the importance of protecting sacred sites and ancestral knowledge.This episode honors the past while celebrating ongoing efforts to reclaim, preserve, and share Ponca heritage.LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

We take the conversation we started last episode regarding vocational training of a technical workforce in CRM a little further. Bill provides an excellent perspective on the current role of the academic world in the CRM profession. How the current projections of future student populations provides both a bleak potential for growing numbers of new archaeologists and the promise for job security. This is an interesting perspective considering the current uncertainty looming in our discipline. Finally, is a rethinking of the original Airlie House an answer to what ails us?

In this episode, David finally discusses the 2018 film “Alpha.” Alpha is a movie that takes place 20,000 years ago in France, in which a boy is separated from his hunting party, and has to survive on his own to get home. That is until he meets a wolf, and the two of them then have to survive together to make it home. It is a story of survival, but also the first domestic dog.David reviews the movie scene by scene and adds anthropological context and discusses the accuracies and inaccuracies using examples from real archeology.TranscriptsFull TranscriptLinks:davidianhowe.comDavidianhowe.com/storeArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetTee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724AffiliatesMotion

Dr. Alan Garfinkel is joined by Chris Webster to discuss a very unique rock art panel discovered at Little Petroglyph Canyon in the Coso Range north of Ridgecrest, California. It's a creation story 2000 to 4000 years old and has some interesting elements. They discuss the image on this week's episode.

So I went to the annual Society for American Archaeology meetings in Denver weekend before last. I presented on my archaeology work on the Maya cenotes in Belize, but I also spent lots of time listening to (and assisting with) presentations on how to present archaeology to the public. What I learned: some people absolutely understand how to present archaeology to the public, and some people have no clue. Tune in to figure out who's who!

In part two of their fateful quest, Ash and Tilly chat more with prehistoric archaeologist and textiles specialist Ronja Lau. Together, the three discuss the different kinds of analysis possible when studying archaeological textiles, and work together to try and replicate the woven threads left by the Norns. But what kind of material should they use? Should they go for a twill, or tabby weave? And what's Ronja's obsession with Telekom got to do with anything?LinksFashion ShowRonja's InstagramReproducing colourful woven bands from the Iron Age salt mine of Hallstatt in Austria: An interdisciplinary approach to acquire knowledge of prehistoric dyeing technologyContactEmail: andmytrowel@gmail.comInstagram: @‌and.my.trowelTranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode, go to: https://www.archpodnet.com/trowel/44ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN StoreAffiliatesMotion

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, host Carlton Shield Chief Gover sits down with Dr. Alex Craib, Adjunct Professor at Bluegrass Community and Technical College and recent PhD graduate from the University of Wyoming. Dr. Craib shares insights from his doctoral research at Alm Rockshelter in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming—a site that offers a rich archaeological record spanning thousands of years.Together, they discuss the cultural materials uncovered at Alm, the site's stratigraphy, and what these findings reveal about patterns of human occupation, mobility, and resource use in the region. Dr. Craib also reflects on the methods he used, the surprises that emerged during analysis, and how Alm Rockshelter contributes to broader understandings of Plains prehistory.This episode explores how archaeology can uncover deep connections between people and place across time—and why sites like Alm Rockshelter matter for telling those stories today.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/19LinksDr. Craib's ACADEMIA pageThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

In this episode, David reads some selected short stories and posts from his Instagram that helped build his account.  If you've been following him for a while, you'll recognize some of these posts, and more importantly you'll recognize the illustrations done by Ettore Mazza.Many of these posts have to do with dogs, wolves, and anthropology but the final one has to do with tattoos and the Lord of the Rings.David stresses that these posts were originally a lot longer pieces of work, but had to be cut down to only 2,200 characters to fit within the limits of Instagram's rules. But that also helped make him a better writer than reader.In a sense, these are the posts that originally went viral when he was just starting Instagram,  and serve as the foundation for how David communicates science in an artistic yet educational way.TranscriptsFull TranscriptLinks:PDF to follow alongdavidianhowe.comDavidianhowe.com/storeArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetTee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724AffiliatesMotion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion
