Sedona Arizona is a pretty place. It’s also so full of New Age groups and believers that it puts the mumbo in mumbo jumbo. Is this a good thing, bad thing, or it-doesn’t-matter thing?

This week, we share the live recording of TAS from the 10th anniversary celebration back in December. We deep dive the Gladiator movies and talk about what they got right and wrong in the movies about who gladiators were. We also look at how accurately (or not!) some of the real historical figures were portrayed in the movies.

Luckily, they are joined by archaeological conservator and professional tattoo artist Rhoda Fromme.

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, we explore the Plains Woodland Period and the vast networks that connected the Great Plains to the Midwest and Southeast. Focusing on the Kansas City Hopewell, we examine the evidence for long-distance exchange, ceremonial traditions, and social ties that linked Plains communities with broader cultural movements. We also discuss Late Woodland feasting events and their role in setting the stage for later interactions with Mississippian cultures. Join us as we uncover how these early connections shaped the cultural landscape of the Plains before the rise of the Mississippian world.

In this Episode, David discusses his recent travels to California and Connor’s visit to Nashville the week before.
David and Connor met up with Aaron Deter-Wolf of Archaeology Ink and Danny Riday of Totemic Tattoo in Nashville, who gave David and Connor hand-poked tattoos with bone and stone. David discusses the artistry, history, and process behind Danny’s work and his hand-poked tattoo, that is a memorial to his late dog, Strider.
David then discusses three Civil War era sites he and Connor toured in the Nashville area called the Carter House, Carnton Plantation, the Lotz House, which all were part of the Battle of Franklin. This battle was a major part of the Civil War and the eventual collapse of the confederate army.
In Part 2, David will then discusses the Bellemeade Mansion and the Hermitage in Nashville, and how these powerful Southern families partook in the war.
But mainly, David speaks candidly about how these historic sites have evolved (and not evolved) in their ways of including the story Black Americans and those of the African Diaspora into the landscape of these histories.

Everyone’s favorite monolith must be the one from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but did you know that monoliths have been popping up across the world in mysterious and unexplained ways? Taking this one step further, if you are guessing that “mysterious and unexplained” may be secret code words for “fake and easily explainable” then you my friend may be a master of secret codes!
PS - We have to do a bit on 2010: The Year We Make Contact because all monoliths must be covered for the sake of science.

Join Fredrik as he digs into Graham Hancock’s latest claims on Ancient Apocalypse, season two, Chapter One. In this episode, skepticism and archaeology meet wild speculation as we explore:
White Sands Exposé: Discover how the striking gypsum dunes tell a well-documented geological and biological story—far from the global cataclysm Hancock claims.
Amazonian Earthworks: Journey to Acre, Brazil, where newly uncovered mounds and geoglyphs have challenged our historical ideas of the Amazon. But without any traveling white Atlanteans.
Science vs. Speculation: Learn why rigorous scientific inquiry and the process of peer review are crucial for testing extraordinary theories.
Critical Connections: Examine Hancock’s attempts to tie distant cultures together and why mainstream archaeology—and solid evidence—says otherwise.
Tune in for a concise, engaging look at ancient sites, alternative history claims, and why a skeptical mindset is the archaeologist’s best tool.

Romance is decidedly still the air! Ugh!
In part two, Tilly and Ash are still on the hunt for the Arrow of Ambivalence. Joined by experimental archaeologists, Emma Jones and Dr. James Dilley, the gang get to work on figuring out how to locate the mysterious arrow that might banish Cupid’s love spell from the realm, and maybe figure out how to craft one themselves…

On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Kendrick McCabe (Ethnographer and Cultural Resource Specialist at Parametrix). Kendrick talks about switching from studying Engineering to Anthropology at the University of Alaska after connecting with Alaska Native classmates. This experience led to an interest in Indigenous naming and identity. Later he continued this work by looking at how people express and shape their culture through the lens of social media. Finally, we talk about his ethnographic and cultural resource work at Parametrix, from working with a local Diné community on a historic uranium mine to working on the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project, as well as on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. Kendrick peppers in lots of good advice for anyone doing Tribal Consultation, Ethnographic, or Cultural Resources work with Indigenous communities!

Before Valentine’s Day became a celebration of romance, and even before it was associated with a Roman Catholic saint, this was a time of celebration and feasting in Rome. From February 13th through the 21st, the Romans observed the overlapping festivals of Parentalia, Lupercalia, and Feralia to celebrate fertility, life, and honor the dead so their ghosts wouldn't haunt the living.
Join me to compare the mythological and historical versions of St. Valentine and explore these Roman festivals of ancestor worship and their links to older Etruscan traditions.
