Most people listening to this podcast are CRM archaeologists. However, sometimes you just have to get out of archaeology for a while but want to stay involved on a smaller scale. Maybe you’re NOT an archaeologist but still want to participate locally or online. In this episode we talk about a few ways that you can do that.

This episode brings together episodes 53 to 55 as the unexpected finale of a ‘secret miniseries’ on how zooarchaeology can be used to reconstruct palaeoenvironments in conjunction with other archaeological subdisciplines. But how can the presence or absence of a given toad species infer on past environments? Tune in to find out! Case studies feature the humble European pond turtle/terrapin/tortoise and the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of an Upper Pleistocene hyena den in Bois Roche, France.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/animals/56Links and Sources Betts, M.

In this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the lads sail themselves into the tempest that is the hoaxes, pseudoscience, and popular culture of Vikings in North America. We start off by going into the history and timing of the Viking Age and their settlements in Iceland, Greenland, and their short stay in Newfoundland. Then we get into hoaxes like the Vinland Map, the Kensington Rune Stone, and the recent nonsense of Vikings making their way up the Mississippi River and then to Oklahoma.If you have left a podcast review on iTunes or Spotify, please email us at [email protected] so we can get shipping information to send you a sticker.If you are listening to this episode on the "Archaeology Podcast Network All Shows Feed," please consider subscribing to the "A Life in Ruins Podcast" channel to support our show.

You would think that dating the Sphinx would be pretty easy, especially since the Sphinx’s face is that of an Old Kingdom pharaoh, and it’s right in front of an Old Kingdom pyramid.  Simple man that I am, I’m going with Old Kingdom.  But wait right there!  What about the water erosion?   Could the Sphinx actually be thousands of years older than previously thought?  Does water erosion on the Sphinx expose a secret that Big Archaeology doesn’t want you to know?  I’m guessing you know the answer to this one…TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/110Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Motion

Though excavation is pretty much synonymous with archaeological fieldwork in the popular and professional imagination, the bulk of the work that we, as archaeologists, do is survey. In the decades that Chris and Paul have been doing archaeological survey we’ve seen great improvements in how they can be planned and carried out, in large part do to tech that’s more ubiquitous, robust, and cheaper than it was when we started. Today we discuss what we’ve already gained and what we hope the future brings.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to www.archpodnet.com/archaeotech/195 Segment 1 Segment 2 Segment 3Links Ruuvi SensorsContact Chris Webster Twitter: @archeowebby Email: [email protected] Paul Zimmerman Twitter: @lugal Email: [email protected] APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Motion

Tonight we tackle the highly annoying idea of electric guitar “tonewood.”  Does the wood that your electric guitar is made out of affect the sound?  Many guitar manufacturers and guitar pros say yes, but science says no.  You’ll never guess which side I’m on….While this topic is more pseudoscience than pseudoarchaeology, I figure it counts because I have an electric guitar in my office on campus…TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/109Links Tonewood videoContact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Motion

We talk about their work and how their efforts fit into larger efforts to learn more about and protect Black cemeteries.
