Recently, new evidence for Neolithic fabric was found impressed on a sherd in the Orkney Islands. In an area where the environment is not conducive to preservation of textile, archaeologists must look for evidence in unconventional ways.

Here's one that is a bit different. Did you know that Native California Indians were part of a basketry boom? From about 1890 to 1940 Native people produced some of the most spectacular basketry ever crafted in the world. These masterpiece baskets include imagery and embedded metaphor that is also recognized in our rock art record throughout California and the Great Basin. Gene Meieran one of the authors of an upcoming book by Sunbelt Press will be our guest to discuss how such a volume was created and the treasures produced by California Indians and where these artistic treasures can be seen.

Today's episode is in response to a listener question in which the listener asked why we continue to do CRM even though we always talk about the hardships. What drives you? Is it a passion for history? A love of the outdoors? What drives you to settle for low per diem, bad pay, no benefits, and double-occupancy hotel room? Let us know in the comments.Listener question: From James at NASA...As to what I would like to hear in CRM, as a member of the public, I would like to understand more of the reason people continue to work in the field despite the hardships. I mean, is there knowledge before they get a degree that this is hard when they do the field work? What is the dropout rate? Is it just in people’s blood to do this, like sailors who need to be on the ocean despite the risk? Also, fundamentally, is CRM just trying to meet regulations (do a job and get paid) or is it actually resulting in stopping/relocating the ventures that initiated them (highway, shopping mall, homes)?Follow Our Panelists On TwitterBill @succinctbill; Doug @openaccessarch; Stephen @processarch; Bill A. @archaeothoughts; Chris W @Archeowebby, @DIGTECHLLC, and @ArchPodNetBlogs: Bill White: Succinct Research Doug Rocks-MacQueen: Doug’s Archaeology Stephen Wagner: Process - Opinions on Doing Archaeology Chris Webster: Random Acts of Science Jobs with Cox McClainOur CRM group is one of the fastest growing in the US.

For decades, American horror has been haunted by the specter of the "Indian Burial Ground." This week, we look at the roots of the phenomenon, the history behind some of the most famous instances, and Indigenous responses to the trope. Plus, Amber serves the worst Maine accent while trying to explain the plot of Pet Sematary, and bullies you all into checking out her Book Club recs.Links Why Every Horror Film of the 1980s Was Built On ‘Indian Burial Grounds’ (Atlas Obscura) The Indian Burying Ground (Poetry Foundation) The Suburban Horror of the Indian Burial Ground (The National Review) Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places (via WorldCat) ‘Winchester’ Continues Hollywood’s Tradition of Mining Native American Suffering for Ghost Stories (Wear Your Voice Magazine) Bury My Guilt in an Indian Burial Ground (Medium) Horror Older Than America: Whitewashing Native Tales For A Mass-Market Audience (Northwest Public Broadcasting) This Essay Was Not Built On an Ancient Indian Burial Ground (Off Screen) Twisting Conventions: A Feminist Indigenous Perspective on the Horror Genre (Off Screen) Jeff Barnaby on Blood Quantum and colonialist zombies (Seventh Row) Podcast Ep. 39: Jeff Barnaby’s Rhymes for Young Ghouls & Blood Quantum (Seventh Row) Blood Quantum (2020) Official Red Band Trailer HD (via YouTube) Reservation Reelism: Redfacing, Visual Sovereignty, and Representations of Native Americans in Film (via WorldCat) ContactEmail the Dirt Podcast: [email protected] Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Find this show on the educational podcast app, Lyceum.fm!

It is always important to be open to hearing both when things go well and also when there are serious issues. In the UK, there is a feeling that systemic racism is either overemphasised or poses no real threat. However this ignorance leads to those who experience racism having to be suffer and work harder in order to have a normal life or employment. In this conversation I am speaking to Phoenix Archer who gained a certification in Conservation with Historic Environment Scotland, a traineeship facilitated by the Next Step Initiative. Next Step provide opportunities for BAME individuals for traineeships and training in Scotland. Phoenix tells me about her experiences at HES, based at the Engine Shed in Stirling, Scotland. She tells me about the difficulties of moving to a new city, living in a hostel before find accommodation as well as experiencing harassment at work. Despite writing letters to her managers, and making it known that she felt uncomfortable, it all seemed to fall on deaf ears. Phoenix works for several organisations, including St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen, Ahead of the Game - Application and CV services and new in October BIPOC and them some, which seeks to highlight BIPOC representation in arts and Media.https://www.facebook.com/AOTGTheReal/https://www.facebook.com/ProgressinDialogue/https://www.stmachar.com/education_outreach.htmhttps://www.facebook.com/BIPOC-and-then-some-115065223670327

Dr. Ed Krupp is Director of the Griffith Astronomical Observatory in Los Angeles, California. He is a world class scholar and is a pioneer in the study of how indigenous people, the world over, relate to the cosmos, saw the celestial realm and provided prehistoric astronomical observatories as sun, moon, and star watchers. These activities are of course memorialized in rock art and in rock features constructed on the land to view the heavens and predict important seasonal changes in the sky world.Links California Rock Art Foundation Griffith Observatory Contact Chris Webster [email protected] Twitter: @archeowebby Dr. Alan Garfinkel [email protected] Affiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Find this show on the educational podcast app, Lyceum.fm!

Universities are in trouble in 2020. There were generally no field schools over the summer and in-person classes are a thing of the past. Also, many universities are not excepting graduate students until further notice. To continue to be a for-profit institution some are turning to field archaeology and CRM. What will that do to the business of archaeology?
