  Rocky Mountain Way - NB Arch Pod Live in Canmore!

  Jul 15, 20261h 15mS4

  WE'RE BACK! And we were LIVE at the Grizzly Paw Pub in downtown Canmore, Alberta as part of the Canadian Archaeological Association's 58th Annual Meeting . And you, dear listeners and dear attendees were LOUD! Gabe and Ken (and Emanuel and Cody) headed up into the Bow Valley gap for a great evening with a lot of friends and guests: Katie Cottreau-Robins (CAA Past-President) and TJ Hammer ( CAA President ); Kisha Supernant (University of Alberta Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology ); Shawn Bubel and Kevin McGeough ( University of Lethbridge ), and Christian Thériault ( Gov't of PEI ). Gabe may have been wearing a 10 gallon hat, but that couldn't quench the thirst of a boisterous and joyous room full of archaeologists, conference attendees, and maybe even a Canmorite or two that found themselves in a live podcast. ***Note: Because of the live recording we encountered some audio issues with this recording and about part way through some of the interviews were cut off*** Hope your summer is going well, listener! Credits Sponsors: APANB, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Producers: Emanuel Akel (Audio Engineer); Cody Pai (Video/Socials) Music Credits: Intro/Outro (Remix): Emanuel Akel, Original Title/Hit Pieces: Justin Hoenke

  <p>This fortnight we’re joined by Dr. Ted Banning to discuss the Neolithic Revolution as part of our season on complexity. And the Neolithic Revolution is nothing, nothing if not complex. Ted helps us decipher the various PPNs and shares insights into how to think about intensification, domestications, and sociopolitical complexity. He also chats with us about what biographies of Canadian numismatists can teach us about nineteenth and early twentieth century society. Finally, we talk with Ted about his new book, Archaeological Reasoning: A Guide to Understanding the Past, which seeks to bridge the gap between introductory and upper-level ar...

  Champlain Supernova

  Apr 26, 20261h 18mS4

  <p>Do you find yourself pondering how the Canada-U.S. Border between New Brunswick and Maine was decided? Have you been searching for a factoid for your next party, like, say, where and when was the first autopsy conducted in North America? Are you aware that the episode title is not just a clever play on Oasis' 1995 smash hit, but references a visible supernova that really did occur on October 4-5, 1604, just on the cusp of what ended up being a rather cold and miserable for Champlain, De Monts, and their company of men? Well, grab your limes and lemons...
