Landscapes for the Dead Part 2: Corpse Roads - TPM 37

In today’s episode, the crew discusses some of the misconceptions surrounding CRM and academia. Rather than viewing them as two separate worlds, working together and learning from both sides would be the most ideal approach for archaeology as a whole.LinksTransformation of social networks in the late pre-Hispanic US SouthwestcyberSWTranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/crmarchpodcast/340Blogs and Resources:Bill White: Succinct ResearchDoug Rocks-MacQueen: Doug’s ArchaeologyChris Webster: DIGTECH LLCAndrew KinkellaKinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube)Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Stig of the Dump is a 1963 children’s novel by Clive King which spawned at least two TV adaptations; today we’re reviewing the first, from 1981. It’s a very gentle, very British show in which a neglected child befriends a caveman in a garbage dump and everyone else gaslights him for 10 episodes.LinksWatch Stig of the Dump (1981) on YouTubeListen to the audiobook of Stig of the Dump on YouTubeSherbetConkersLarderPrize-Giving DayStar CarrThe Tucson Garbage ProjectWierer et al.

In this episode, Alan speaks with Dr. George Nash about Ice Age archaeology and rock art in South Wales. They explore the remarkable discoveries at Bacon Hole and Cat Hole, including a painted cave panel rediscovered after disappearing beneath calcite for decades, and a stylized reindeer engraving dated using uranium-thorium dating. They also examine Ice Age hunter-gatherer movement, the changing landscape of the Gower Coast, and how new technologies such as D-Stretch are revealing previously invisible traces of prehistoric art.TranscriptsFor a rough transcript head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/rockart/172LinksRediscovered Late Upper Palaeolithic Painted Imagery at Bacon Hole, Gower Peninsula, South WalesDr. George Nash ResearchD-Stretch - Rock Art Digital Enhancement ContactDr. Alan [email protected].

In this episode of The Archaeology Show, we follow three discoveries that reveal how much ancient meaning can survive—and how much can still elude us. First, we look at rare Neolithic obsidian arrowheads from central Anatolia, etched with one-of-a-kind geometric designs that took real effort to carve, yet remain impossible to interpret. Then we head deep into Spain’s Cova de les Dones, where a hidden chamber holds 120 Latin inscriptions—evidence of an organized Roman cult centered on a mysterious “Lady,” Domina, and the name “MALACI.” Finally, we travel to Wetar Island in eastern Indonesia, where a 4,000-year-old painted stone plaque provides the first portable example of Austronesian Painting Tradition art, suggesting seafarers carried shared symbols and identities across the ocean long before pottery arrived.To see links and more, head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/archaeology/339ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN Discord: https://discord.com/invite/CWBhb2T2edAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
