There is an interesting contrast between John Pull who contributed so much during his life, compared to the nihilistic life style of those responsible for his death. His wannabe gangster killer actually claimed to be a reincarnation of the long dead American gangster Legs Diamond.

Tyrel shares what it means to serve in this role and offers listeners an in-depth look at how archaeology is practiced through a Lakota lens.From day-to-day responsibilities and the structure of Standing Rock's Tribal Historic Preservation program to the core Lakota values that guide decision-making, Tyrel discusses the importance of protecting sacred sites, cultural landscapes, and the integrity of Indigenous knowledge.Tyrel offers reflections on what respectful collaboration looks like from the tribal side and why it's critical for CRM firms, universities, and outside archaeologists to understand and honor tribal perspectives. He also speaks to the vital role of Indigenous archaeologists and the importance of encouraging the next generation to take on this work.This episode is a powerful reflection on the responsibilities of protecting the past while serving the present and future needs of Native nations.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts had over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/21LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

First people communities are the early groups of hunter gatherers, herders, and the oldest human lineages of Africa, some migrating from as far as East Africa to settle across southern Africa, in countries like Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. In First People: The Lost History of the Khoisan, archaeologist Andrew Smith, who has excavated at some of the richest prehistoric heritage sites across Africa and has a career spanning 50 years, examines what we know about southern Africa's early people, drawing on evidence from archaeological sites, rock art, the observations of colonial-era travellers, linguistics, study of the human genome, and the latest academic research. Full of illustrations, First People is an invaluable and accessible work that reaches from the Stone Age and travels through time to the most recent history of the Khoisan. Smith, who has studied the history and prehistory of the Khoisan throughout his long and distinguished career, paints a knowledgeable and fascinating portrait of their land occupation, migration, survival, culture, and practices.

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.

Found in 2011 by the Swedish diving team Ocean X, this strange, circular formation resting nearly 300 feet below the surface of the Baltic Sea has sparked countless theories, ranging from ancient lost civilizations and secret Nazi technology to crashed UFOs and natural geological formations. Join Joe and Jen as they explore the origins of the anomaly, the initial sonar images that captivated the world, and the persistent mystery that has only deepened over the years. Why does this object appear to have unnatural right angles, what looks like a ramp or staircase, and even what some believe is a landing skid? Is it simply an unusual rock formation shaped by glacial activity—or is it something far more ancient, intelligent, and unexplained? But that's just the beginning. The episode also takes you on a global journey beneath the waves to explore undersea ruins found across our planet—remnants of structures that challenge our understanding of history and human civilization. From the sunken city of Dwarka off the coast of India, said to be thousands of years older than previously believed human settlements, to the mysterious Yonaguni Monument off the coast of Japan with its seemingly carved steps and geometric patterns, we examine whether our ancestors may have left behind submerged legacies hidden beneath the oceans. Could these underwater formations be evidence of forgotten advanced civilizations—possibly even the fabled Atlantis? Or are these just products of natural erosion, misinterpretation, and wishful thinking? We weigh the evidence, challenge the assumptions, and ask the hard questions that keep the spirit of paranormal exploration alive. Also featured in this episode: The role of sonar imaging and how underwater anomalies are discovered. Debunking and defending the Baltic Sea Anomaly—what skeptics and believers are saying. Connections between rising sea levels and the loss of coastal civilizations. How tectonic shifts and climate changes might explain some underwater “ruins”—but not all. Whether you're a deep-sea diving enthusiast, a lover of lost civilizations, or just curious about one of the most fascinating unexplained phenomena of our time, this episode is sure to make you question what lies beneath the surface.

Shanidar Cave is a unique archaeological site in Kurdistan where scientists found the remains of 10 Neanderthal men, women, and children. Some of these individuals had survived serious injuries, and one seemed to have been buried with flowers beneath his body. The discoveries at Shanidar challenged long-standing ideas of who Neanderthals were and what separates our species from theirs. Now, more than 50 years after the original excavations, scientists have returned to Shanidar to answer lingering questions about the Neanderthals who lived and died there.
