In the mid-19th century Étienne Cabet had an idea to establish a utopian society in Texas, and he moved his followers from France to do it. Things went badly, but he persisted, and established multiple communities in North America.

Sarah Tarlow is on the podcast this week to talk about her memoir The Archaeology of Loss, this month's Church Times book club title. Susan Gray has written a reflection on the book in the 6 September edition of the Church Times: https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/books-arts/book-club In her candid memoir, Sarah Tarlow excavates her memory to piece together the events and experiences leading up to her husband's suicide, and traces the complicated grief which followed. Using her archaeological insights, the author makes parallels between what she has encountered through her professional work, tracing the rituals of death and commemoration, with the reality of her own personal situation. Nothing prepared her for the grim reality of caring for someone whose personality had been so affected by illness, and for her own struggles facing up to the actuality of loss. Sarah Tarlow is Professor of Historical Archaeology at the University of Leicester. She is in conversation with Sarah Meyrick, whose latest novel is Joy and Felicity (Sacristy Press, 2021). The Archaeology of Loss is published by Picador at £10.99 (Church Times Bookshop £9.89). https://chbookshop.hymnsam.co.uk/books/9781529099553/the-archaeology-of-loss?vc=CT106 The Church Times Book Club is run in association with the Festival of Faith and Literature. https://faithandliterature.hymnsam.co.uk Sign up to receive the free Book Club email once a month.

Wir springen in dieser Folge in die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. New York City ist mittlerweile eine der reichsten Städte der Welt, aber im Vergleich zu den Städten Europas fehlt es der Stadt an Kultur. Das und einige weitere Gründe werden die Stadtregierung davon überzeugen, dass die Stadt vor allem eines benötigt: einen Park. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, wie das vonstattenging und weshalb nicht alle davon profitierten. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG173: Der gefährliche Garten von Vaux-le-Vicomte – https://gadg.fm/173 - GAG316: Die Shakespeare-Unruhen – https://gadg.fm/316 - GAG385: Delmonico's und der erste Starkoch der USA – https://gadg.fm/385 - GAG82: Victor Gruen und die Erfindung des Einkaufszentrums – https://gadg.fm/82 - GAG188: Martin Couney und die Inkubator-Ausstellungen – https://gadg.fm/188 - GAG334: Rachel Carson und der stumme Frühling – https://gadg.fm/334 //Literatur - Roy Rosenzweig und Elizabeth Blackmar.

According to the Tartarian Empire conspiracy theory there once existed a massive, advanced regime that stretched over much of the Asian continent. This Empire's power was so great that they built structures all over the world, including in Africa, North America and South America. Buildings such as the White House in Washington D.C. and the Great Pyramids in Egypt were built by the great, globe spanning Tartarian empire. They were able to accomplish this in part thanks to advanced technology that is lost to time, like batteries powered by the Earth which distributed electricity wirelessly. This theory has spawned a community of people who pour through old European maps and pictures of 19th century buildings in search of evidence for this lost empire, then post their findings on Reddit and Tik tok. But was there really a lost empire called “Tartaria?” Or have conspiracy theorists on the internet misinterpreted an archaic European term for parts of Asia then proceeded to desperately search for evidence of a better world that was lost to time?

For centuries chocolate has had a global appeal, the key ingredient of this confectionery is derived from the dried and fully fermented seed of the Theobroma cacao, whose origins began in northern Amazonia. From this tree, both cocoa solids and cocoa butter can be extracted to form the basis of chocolate. Today, it's the West African countries of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana that produce the bulk of the world's supply of cocoa beans. But in recent years hotter temperatures and shifts in rainfall patterns have impacted cocoa harvests particularly in this region. And now the global price of this key ingredient has roughly doubled since the start of last year, fuelling concern that demand could outweigh supply. Cocoa farming itself is mainly small scale and these farmers are at the bottom end of the value chain when it comes to profits. But whilst many of the major chocolate manufacturers do invest in the industry, with support for improved planting and harvesting techniques, farming sustainably is just one of a number of challenges that these small farmers face. So on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Is climate change impacting chocolate production?'

The episode of Career Ruins features a conversation with Colm Donnelly, a Senior Research Fellow at Queen's University in Belfast. Derek and Lawrence reflect on the highlights of the year and discuss Colm's career journey in historical archaeology and community archaeology. Colm shares insights into his notable projects, including excavating medieval castles in Ireland and participating in post-ex Russia. The episode highlights the importance of combining historical records with archaeological evidence to understand the lives of ordinary people from the past. The conversation provides a deep dive into the world of historical archaeology and the significance of unearthing lesser-known aspects of history.

Welcome to this episode in the new series of Local History Matters, the podcast run by the British Association for Local History (BALH) to highlight hidden local histories. In this series, we will be discussing with researchers how they got into their field of study, and what their topic can tell us about local history more generally. In this episode, our Social Media Fellow Megan Kelleher chats with Dr Eric Tourigny, who is a Lecturer in Historical Archaeology at the University of Newcastle. Eric's research interests include the identification and analysis of animal bones, the archaeologies of food and human-animal relationships, the treatment of pets in the post-medieval period and the British settlement of Canada between the 17th and 19th Centuries. His current research looks into the archaeology of the animal welfare movement, and in this episode he discusses these topics and more in order to explain how archaeology and material culture can be used when studying local history. You can follow along with the conversation about this podcast by using the hashtag #LocalHistoryMatters, and keep up to date with the work the BALH does by visiting our website https://www.balh.org.uk/ or following us on social media @BALHNews.

Taiwan oder Republik China? Wenn es nach der kommunistischen Volksrepublik China ginge, dann weder das eine noch das andere. Das kleine und wirtschaftlich starke Taiwan wird von den meisten Ländern der Erde nicht als souveräner Staat anerkannt. Bis auf 13 Länder und dem Heiligen Stuhl halten sich alle Länder an die so genannte Ein-China-Politik, die Chinas Staatspräsident Xi Jinping immer wieder propagiert. Er strebt eine Wiedervereinigung an und betrachtet Taiwan als abtrünnige Provinz – obwohl die seit mehr als 20.000 Jahren besiedelte Insel nie zur Volksrepublik gehört hat. Seit dem russischen Angriffskrieg fürchten manche, die Volksrepublik China könne diesen Krieg als Blaupause nehmen, um auch Taiwan irgendwann militärisch zu besetzen. Doch wie wahrscheinlich ist ein solches Szenario? Und woher kommen die Konflikte zwischen Taiwan und der Volksrepublik China? Welchen Weg ging Taiwan nach der Gründung der Volksrepublik China 1949? Und wer lebte eigentlich auf Taiwan, bevor Europäer und Chinesen die Insel kolonisierten? **Gesprächspartner*innen:** - Thomas Weyrauch - Katharin Tai - María Cruz Berrocal - Klaus-Peter Willsch - Jens Damm - Yude Tang - Patrik Chen **Team:** - Moderation: Mirko Drotschmann - Sprecher*innen: Dominik Freiberger, Inga Haupt, Andrea Kath, Makke Schneider - Redaktion objektiv media GmbH: Janine Funke und Andrea Kath - Technik: Moritz Raestrup - Musik: Sonoton - Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeit: Daniela Ssymank - Produktion: objektiv media GmbH im Auftrag des ZDF - Redaktion ZDF: Katharina Kolvenbach **Literatur:** - Andrade, Tonio (2006): The Rise and Fall of Dutch Taiwan, 1624-1662: Cooperative Colonialization and the Statist Model of European Expansion, in: Journal of World History, Vol. 17 (4), S. 429-450. - Bergère, Marie-Claire (1994): Sun Yat-sen.

Dr. Benjamin Pykles will deliver the 2022 Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture, titled “Historical Archaeology and the Latter-day Saint Past” Thursday evening at 7:00 in the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall at Utah State University.
Jeremy Salkeld (EnclavedMicrostate) talks with /u/the_gubna about the field of historical archaeology and the latter's research on the Camino Real in the colonial Andes, discussing the history of this highway and of the people who used it. 32 mins.
This episode is the first of a three-part series produced by Eleanor Neil, contributing editor at American Anthropologist and Anthropological Airwaves. From the African American Burial Ground in New York City to the memorialization of violence in Northern Ireland to professional archaeology in the eastern Mediterranean, Eleanor asks archaeologists with different regional and methodological specialties to choose a single object or site, and, in their own words describe how this this site or artefact speaks to the interaction between archaeology and political or social identity across time and place. Here, Dr. Cheryl Janifer LaRoche discusses the African American Burial Ground in lower Manhattan and the influence it has had on public engagement, perceptions of slavery in the northern United States, and the empowerment inherent in recognizing one's own past in the archaeological record. Dr. LaRoche's is Associate Research Professor at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. Her research on 18th and 19th-century free Black communities, institutions, and spaces combines law, history, oral history, archaeology, geography and material culture to define Black cultural landscapes, often navigating the convergences of public, private, political and social interests.

On a listener-sponsored episode, Anna and Amber tackle the archaeology and historical context of maroon communities. These are societies formed by self-liberated Africans during the period when the slave trade was a huge part of the world economy. We discuss some archaeological case studies, and then really think long and hard about what it means to reconstruct these lives, and who has historically done so.

On March 25, 2022, bioarchaeologist Pamela Geller (University of Miami) met with a panel of CIAMS students (Amanda Domingues, Sophia Taborski, Grace Hermes, Anna Whittemore, and Emily Sharp) and faculty host Matthew Velasco to discuss the politics of human remains, the objectification of bodies in anatomical collections, and the importance of studying the historical contexts that shaped these collections. The conversation centered on two works by Dr. Geller: a 2020 article in the journal "Historical Archaeology” titled “Building Nation, Becoming Object: The Biopolitics of the Samuel G. Morton Crania Collection,” and a chapter from her 2021 book “Theorizing Bioarchaeology,” titled, “What is Necropolitics?” published by Springer Press. This RadioCIAMS podcast was recorded in-person. Please note that this episode contains isolated references to genocide and the Holocaust.
On today's podcast Jessica interviews Dr. Ayana Omilade Flewellen (they/she), Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Riverside. Through Dr. Flewellen's work in historical archaeology of the African Diaspora focusing on the era of Enslavement and post-emancipation, we talk about how the way people, in this case Black women, dress and adorn themselves and how those practices are shaped by larger factors, including racism and sexism. We also dive into the work of the Society of Black Archaeologists and Diving With a Purpose to tell a larger story of Black history in the field of Anthropology and to the general public, as well as to provide opportunities for the next generation of Black scholars and maritime archaeologists.

A whole lot, including a largely “unknown national treasure,” an eighty-seven mile stretch of raised railroad grade, built across a breathtaking scenic and cultural landscape, winding around the Great Salt Lake, with views of the Promontory, Hansen, Hogup, Grouse Creek, Newfoundland and Lakeside Mountains. On this road you will experience a landscape largely as it would have been seen by travelers on the first transcontinental railroad; nothing like any surviving portions of the 1862-1869 transcontinental railroad. Speaking of their 2021 publication, Rails East to Ogden: Utah's Transcontinental Railroad Story (a BLM Utah, Cultural Series Publication) historical archaeologists Michael Polk (Aspen Ridge Consultants) and Christopher W. Merritt (Utah SHPO) interpreted over ten years of new research and discoveries, and offer fascinating descriptions concerning Chinese immigrant work camps and life (including later more substantial China towns); strewn and buried garage that document goods that traveled from mainland China, Ireland and Europe; ghost town where hundreds of people and families once lived and enjoyed homes, bunk houses, pleasure gardens, hotels, bakeries and even a public library; water lines made of hollowed redwood logs which once quenched thirsty steam locomotives; a half a dozen railroad facilities (now only rubble); and adjoining stagecoach roads that took people and goods to frontier Idaho and Montana; all adjacent to a railroad that was actively used from 1869 to World War II.Guest Bio: Michael Polk is a historical archaeologist for the Western United States. He is the principal and owner of Aspen Ridge Consultants, a heritage resources firm providing consultation in historical archaeology, history and architectural history. Polk has a long career in archaeology, serving in companies such as Sagebrush Consultants and Environment Consultants. He has been investigating Utah's diverse cultural and industrial landscapes for over forty years. Christopher W. Merritt is a historical archaeologist and the Utah State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), based out of the Utah Division of State History. Merritt is a leading advocate for historical archaeology throughout the western United States. He is the author of numerous studies, reports and academic articles, and is the author of the book The Coming Man from Canton: Chinese Experience in Montana, 1862 - 1943 (2017).

In Chesapeake Bay in the late 19th century, oyster harvesting was a big business. There were so many oyster harvesters harvesting so many oysters that the legislatures of Maryland and Virginia had to start regulating who could harvest oysters and how they could do so. Creating the regulations was the easy part; enforcing them was much harder. The illegal harvesting of oysters by oyster pirates continued, even after the creation of the Maryland State Oyster Police Force in 1868 and a similar force in Virginia in 1884. The first of the Oyster Wars was in Virginia in 1882 when Governor William E. Cameron himself joined the expedition to raid the pirates. The first raid was a success, but Cameron quickly learned that pirates wouldn't stay defeated for long, and the oyster wars continued. By the late 1880s the Oyster Wars turned deadly. The Oyster Wars remained an important part of Chesapeake Bay history all the way until the “official” end of the Oyster Wars in 1959, although even that may have not truly been the end. In this episode, Kelly briefly tells the story of the Oyster Wars and (with a little help from her son, Arthur, interviews Jamie Goodall, author of Pirates of the Chesapeake Bay: From the Colonial Era to the Oyster Wars.

In 1857 guests at Washington D.C.'s National Hotel began to come down with a mysterious illness. One of them was James Buchanan, who was preparing to assume the presidency of the United States. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the deadly outbreak and the many theories that were offered to explain it. We'll also contemplate timpani and puzzle over an Old West astronaut. Intro: The words overnervousnesses and overnumerousnesses are vertically compact. Harvard mathematician George Birkhoff reduced the principle underlying beauty to a formula.

On February 19, 2021, archaeologist Stephen Acabado (UCLA) met with a panel of CIAMS students (Canan Cem, Rebecca Gerdes, Jane Millar, Alice Wolff) and faculty (Maia Dedrick) to discuss three of his recent publications. The first was a 2017 article in the International Journal of Historical Archaeology, titled “The Archaeology of Pericolonialism: Responses of the "Unconquered" to Spanish Conquest and Colonialism in Ifugao, Philippines.” The second was, “Zones of refuge: Resisting conquest in the northern Philippine highlands through environmental practice”, published in the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology in 2018. The third was a 2019 article in the Journal of Field Archaeology, “The Short History of the Ifugao Rice Terraces: A Local Response to the Spanish Conquest”. This podcast was hosted over Zoom, everyone participated remotely.
On this special "After Dark" edition of the Seven Ages Audio Journal, the gents join for an after-hours gathering in the Cross-Tyme Pub, as we explore the more esoteric side of archaeology and humanity's past. With that, our focus during this discussion has to do with the archaeology of magic. We are joined by Dr. C. Riley Augé, the University of Montana's Anthropological Collections Facility curator and instructor of many archaeology and cultural anthropology courses, such as “Myth, Ritual, and Religion.” She specializes in the anthropological and archaeological study of belief systems where her research and national and international publications emphasize the emotive and sensorial aspects of ritual behaviors and religious and magical beliefs. She was awarded the Society for Historical Archaeology 2016 Kathleen Kirk Gilmore Dissertation Award for her work on gendered magic, which is the basis for her book The Archaeology of Magic: Gender and Domestic Protection in Seventeenth-Century New England.

At its height, the Aksumite Empire extended across the northern Ethiopian and Eritrean highlands, and even included parts of Sudan, Somalia and modern-day Yemen. From the first century BC to the seventh or eighth centuries AD it was one of the most important trading hubs in north-east Africa. It was also one of the earliest states in the world to adopt Christianity. In fact the Persian prophet Mani named the Aksumite Empire as one of the “four great kingdoms on Earth” together with Persia, Rome and China. But despite its power and reputation, we're only now beginning to understand more about the lives of the people who lived there. Joining Bridget Kendall to discuss the Aksumite Empire and its legacy are Helina Solomon Woldekiros, Assistant Professor of Archaeology at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri; Felege-Selam Solomon Yirga, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Tennessee; and Dr. Niall Finneran, Reader in Historical Archaeology and Heritage Studies at the University of Winchester in the UK. He is author of The Archaeology of Ethiopia. Produced by Jo Impey for BBC World Service.

Karen is a recovering academic with a PhD in Anthropology and Historical Archaeology. She loves field exploration, thinking about how we lived in the past, and telling stories about it. She combines it all as a TV presenter on a series of shows airing on Discovery/Science Channel. She hosts and co-produces the Working Over Time podcast, which examines human history and culture through the lens of work, focusing on some of the more interesting jobs you never could have imagined.
The phrase 'historical archaeology' probably seems a bit redundant - isn't all archaeology historical? As it turns out, the answer is no.

In this interesting time...my semester is wrapping up, and I decided to change my thesis proposal with three weeks left in the semester...because reasons.That said. I do have a stock of podcasts that need tweaking before being posted. I'm going get those up soon, and thank everyone for being lenient with us. I think you'll really enjoy the topics coming up, we got haunted Winchester house, archaeology and ghost hunting pt 2, race in academia, and the Historical accuracy of the Assassin's Creed games pt2!We've also got a bunch of collaboration things like the "Hunt for Secret Mysteries" vids and Podcast with Bill Auchter with ArchaeoRPG and ArchaeoThoughts. We're taking on Skinwalker Ranch right now, and wow, just...its bad yall.We're also still working on our own archeology surveys in Elder Scrolls and No Man's Sky and looking at Aliens, Giants, and the Paranormal on our sub-blogs. So hopefully there's a lot to keep you busy this month while my output might be a little spotty. I have a couple of quick vids planned, but other than that, I need to lay low and convince my Thesis Professor to let me lead a real-life phase 1 survey in Elders Scrolls Online...I have a crew and everything. In the meantime, enjoy this throwback from the archives, where Dr. Jeb Card and I talk with Dr. April Beisaw about Ghost Hunting as Historical Archaeology! Also, be sure to check out Jeb and Blake Smith's newest podcast "In Research Of" for a fun and critical look back on Leonard Nimoy's classic pseudoarchaeology show.

History is not the full story if not everyone gets to tell it. And in places where the traditional records are scarce or silent, where do you look for answers? Today we speak with anthropologist Christopher Matthews about his work in Setauket helping the people of a traditionally Native American (the Setalcotts) and African American community uncover more of their past. Working with Robert Lewis of the Higher Ground Intercultural and Heritage Association, along with long-time residents of Christian Avenue in Setauket, Chris and his colleauges have dug stories from the earth. These range from the laundry run by Hannah Hart out of her house on Lake and Main to stone tools found on the Silas Tobias site along Conscience Bay. We also talk about the goals and values of community archaeology as well as the need to see these places as living communities to be supported now and not as something that has disappeared.

On May 2nd, 2019, archaeologist Dr. Eleanor Casella (University of Tasmania) met with a panel of CIAMS students (Sarah McCully and Taylor Carr-Howard) and faculty (Dana Bardolph, Sherene Baugher, and Nerissa Russell) to discuss the archaeology of institutional confinement, the material dynamics of social relationships, and the role of historical archaeology in both the academy and also contemporary Tasmanian society. The discussion centered on three of Dr. Casella’s publications. The first was a 2000 article in World Archaeology, titled “‘Doing Trade’: a Sexual Economy of Nineteenth-century Australian Female Convict Prisons”, the second was her 2012 chapter in her co-edited (with Barbara Voss) volume The Archaeology of Colonialism: Intimate Encounters and Sexual Effects, “Little Bastard Felons: Childhood, Affect, and Labor in the Penal Colonies of Nineteenth-Century Australia”, and the third was her 2016 article in Historical Archaeology, “Horizons beyond the Perimeter Wall: Relational Materiality, Institutional Confinement, and the Archaeology of Being Global”. Dr. Casella joined us from across the globe, participating in the podcast via video call from Tasmania.
In June 1940, German forces took the Channel Islands, a small British dependency off the coast of France. They expected the occupation to go easily, but they hadn't reckoned on the island of Sark, ruled by an iron-willed noblewoman with a disdain for Nazis. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of Sibyl Hathaway and her indomitable stand against the Germans. We'll also overtake an earthquake and puzzle over an inscrutable water pipe. Intro: Raymond Chandler gave 10 rules for writing a detective novel.

The Society for Historical Archaeology conference was held in St. Charles, Missouri this year (2019) and despite the 15 inches of snow, the government shutdown, and a fire in the terminal at St. Louis International, the conference went pretty well! Bill White and Chris Webster sit down with two women that started a Facebook group to be a safe place for people that are victims of the #metoo phenomenon and the talk to each other about other things they saw at the conference.

In 1761 a French schooner was shipwrecked in the Indian Ocean, leaving more than 200 people stranded on a tiny island. The crew departed in a makeshift boat, leaving 60 Malagasy slaves to fend for themselves and wait for rescue. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Tromelin Island castaways, which one observer calls "arguably the most extraordinary story of survival ever documented." We'll also admire some hardworking cats and puzzle over a racer's death. Intro: In 1830 architect Thomas Willson proposed building an enormous pyramid to house London's dead. In 1959 a Norwegian insulation manufacturer undertook to transport a three-ton block of ice to the equator without refrigeration. Sources for our feature on the Tromelin Island castaways: Samir S.

Several of us recently attended the Society for Historical Archaeology 2018 meeting in New Orleans. In this episode we'll talk about some of the great sessions we attended, tips and tricks for successfully networking, and some suggestions for being better conference presenters and attendees.
The 2018 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology took place in New Orleans at the beginning of January. Bill White was there and he brings on two coleagues, Dr. Ayana Flewellen and Dr. Justin Dunnavant. They talk about their takeaways from the conference. Bill, Ayana, and Justin also talk about their work in St. Croix over the winter and about working in an area deeply affected by hurricanes and a lack of people to do preservation work. However, they mention that people on the island are working in their own communities to preserve there history.
Episode 3 brings us insights from distinguished professor Dr. Audrey Horning into the field of historical archaeology. We discuss the contemporary impacts and significance of archaeology on society as well as revisit her multiple journeys across the Atlantic from the states to Ireland, and the UK. Join us with a glass of wine for a scintillating evening of conversation.
To celebrate National Archaeology Week 2016 we present two talks on the topic of archaeology and heritage in the Pacific. Wasteland and Wonderland: Bikini Atoll - from atomic bomb testing ground to World Heritage Dr Steve Brown, Lecturer in Archaeology, Master of Museum and Heritage Studies program Sydney’s Missionary Connections to the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) in the 19th Century James Flexner, Lecturer in Historical Archaeology and Heritage, Department of Archaeology More info: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2016/archaeology_heritage_tropical_pacific.shtml
Dr. Douglas D. Scott Dr. Douglas D. Scott is an American archaeologist most notable for his work at the Little Bighorn in the mid-1980s. Working with Richard Fox, Melissa Connor, Doug Harmon, and staff and volunteers from the National Park Service, Scott worked to sketch out a field methodology that has enabled archaeologists to systematically investigate battlefields. This work is internationally recognized as constituting a great step forward in our ability to interpret battlefields archaeologically, regardless of the extent of the historical record. At the Little Bighorn, the fieldwork produced an interpretation of the battle that for the first time gave a clear understanding of the way the battle developed and pointed out some of the glaring inaccuracies of the historiography of the event. The fieldwork also helped determine which of the 242 headstones to the 210 U.S. soldiers lost at the Little Bighorn were erroneous, and recovered skeletal elements allowed one of the soldiers to be positively identified. It was not as successful in recovering the remains of 24 men lost in Deep Ravine and whose whereabouts are unknown to this day. Scott continued doing battlefield archaeology by working at Little Bighorn every season for 23 years. He also directed work at Big Hole Battlefield National Historical Site, Sand Creek National Historic Site, Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, Pea Ridge National Battlefield Park, and Monroe’s Crossroads Battlefield. He has assisted, advised, or volunteered on over 40 other battlefield and conflict site investigations in the U.S., England, and Belgium, including Washita National Historic Site and Honey Springs Battlefield with Bill Lees. In another convergence the work at the Little Bighorn and the discovery of soldiers’ skeletal remains brought Scott into contact with Clyde Snow. Snow did an exceptional analysis of those remains, but also cajoled Doug Scott and Melissa Connor into taking the methods they developed in battlefield recovery to the field of forensic science. Snow’s statement that they should take their methods to a “real” battlefield led them to working for Physicians for Human Rights, the UN El Salvador Truth Commission, the UN Truth Commission for Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the U.S. State Department on a case in northern Cyprus, for PHR on the Greek side of Cyprus, and for the Regime Crime Liaison Office in Iraq. Connor shifted from prehistoric and historic archaeology to full-time forensic archaeology in 2000. She now directs the Forensic Investigation Research Station (FIRS) for Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado. Both Scott and Connor are Fellows of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. For this work, Scott has been honored with awards from the National Park Service. In 1992, he was awarded the Department of Interior's Meritorious Service Award and Medal for career accomplishments and innovative research. He served as the president of the Society for Historical Archaeology from 2006-2007. Scott is also a member of the Advisory Board for Armchair General Magazine.

Doug Hocking Western Author is my guest. Website: www.doughocking.comDoug Hocking is an independent scholar and author of fiction who has completed advanced studies in History, Ethnography and Historical Archaeology and lives and breathes Way Out West. His principal interest is in New Mexico Territory from the Mexican War up through the Civil War. It was an exciting period when the land was new and isolated from the rest of the country and violence ran at its high mark. Following leads from source to end he is learning about the Santa Fe Trail, the Fur Trade, the Mexican and Civil Wars, the Apache, the Penitentes and percussion cap weapons. “I've found that the way to know history is to learn about the tools people used, the landscape, the trails, the climate and the economics of the times until the options open to people begin to make sense. I try to express that both in fiction and history writing.”
