The Archaeology of Indigenous South America - Ep 106
2w ago00:44:31Tap to summarizeOn this month’s episode, Jessica talks with Dr. José Capriles Flores (Associate Professor of Anthropology at Penn State). We talk about Dr. Capriles’ journey from visiting Tiwanaku as a child with his late biologist and ornithologist mother to studying zooarchaeology and environmental archaeology across extremely varied ecosystems in South America today. Dr. Capriles discusses how archaic pre-pastoral communities adapted through time with outside influences from Tiwanaku, Spanish, and modern society, but whose descendants have maintained their connections to the land, livestock, and their past. Dr. Capriles describes several recent creative community collaborations, the balance of development with maintaining identity and belonging, and wide reaching networks of exchange from the archaeological record to the international archaeological collaborations today.

Transcribe →Rejuvenating Native Languages - Ep 105
Apr 2100:54:06Tap to summarizeOn this month’s episode, Jessica speaks with Dr. Neyooxet Greymorning (University of Montana; Departments of Anthropology and Native American Studies) about language rejuvenation. Dr. Greymorning tells the story of his journey into the work of language rejuvenation, as well as his own experiences with Arapaho as a child. He then explains how he developed his rapid language teaching methods based on how children learn and understand language but that would also fit the context of where he would be teaching. Dr. Greymorning describes the incredible language learning of his students using this method, as well as the challenges in getting educators to try to accept the method and the possible outcomes. Ultimately, these challenges led to one aspect of his current work where he is conducting language learning tests with dolphins!

Transcribe →PROMO - BREAKING NEWS - Monte Verde is no longer a pre-Clovis site, with Dr. Todd Surovell - Ethno 33
Mar 2400:50:15Tap to summarizeFor decades, Monte Verde in southern Chile has been one of the most famous archaeological sites in the Americas. The site was widely accepted as 14,500 years old, making it one of the strongest pieces of evidence for human presence in the Americas before Clovis. But what if that interpretation was wrong? In this special episode, I sit down with Dr. Todd Surovell, professor of anthropology at the University of Wyoming, to discuss new research that re-examines Monte Verde using modern geoarchaeological methods. The results suggest that the famous site may actually be much younger than previously believed, dating to the Holocene rather than the Ice Age. If true, this would mean that Monte Verde is not evidence for pre-Clovis humans in South America, and it could force archaeologists to reconsider one of the most influential discoveries in American archaeology. We discuss: The history of the Monte Verde discovery Why it reshaped textbooks in the 1990s How new geological and dating analyses challenge the original interpretation What this means for Clovis-first vs. pre-Clovis models Why independent verification and skepticism are essential in science This episode explores how science evolves—and how even the most famous discoveries can be re-examined.

Feb 1700:46:46Tap to summarizeOn this month’s episode, Jessica speaks with Dr. Norma Gregory (founder and director of Nottingham News Centre) about her efforts to document and educate the public on the industrial heritage history of the African diaspora. Dr. Gregory’s work to develop her book on Jamaicans in Nottingham led her to shift her life work to making sure that Black coal mining history got the attention that it deserved. We talk about some of her different efforts to promote this history as well as how all of us can do better public education in our own work. We also talk about her work for the Windrush museum, on Nottingham Carnival heritage, as well as her future dream vision for continuing this work.LinksDr Norma Gregory & Black Miners’ HeritageBlack Miners Museum ArchiveNorma Gregory – WebsiteNorma Gregory – ProfileNorma Gregory BBC article ‘History Project on Black Miners comes to South Wales’Norma Gregory BBC Article ‘Nottinghamshire Black Miners’ History Project Launched’Norma Gregory BBC Article Wales Black Miners programme (archived)Nottingham News CentreJamaicans in Nottingham : Narratives and Reflections (Book by Dr. Norma Gregory) (to purchase signed copies email: info@blackcoalminers.com)Industrial Heritage & ArchaeologyThe Association for Industrial Archaeology UKThe International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial HeritageNational Coal Mining Museum, Yorkshire UKInternational Council of Museums (ICOM)The Association for Heritage InterpretationWindrush Scandal UKWindrush Scandal – Timeline of events, The Guardian NewspaperOffice of the Windrush CommissionerNorma Gregory Windrush article, The Nottingham PostThe National Windrush Museum UKFurther LinksThe Nottingham CarnivalNational Lottery Heritage FundGlobal Action Planhttps://www.greenpeace.org.uk/TranscriptFor a rough transcript of this episode head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/heritagevoices/104ContactJessicaJessica@livingheritageanthropology.org@livingheritageAArchPodNetAPN 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/archpodnetTee Public StoreAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jan 2000:57:25Tap to summarizeOn this month’s episode, Jessica checks back in with Aaron Brien (Apsáalooke), who you may remember from Episode 23 on Salish-Kootenai College’s Tribal Historic Preservation Program, Episode 25 on Technology, and episode 41 on Collecting Oral Histories in Indian Country. In the more than 5 years since our last recording, Aaron has moved from being Tribal Historic Preservation Program faculty at Salish-Kootenai College to being the Crow Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. We talk about how that transition happened, the process of reinventing the Crow THPO program, and how the SKC program prepared him for being a THPO. On that note, the podcast Aaron and Dr. Shandin Pete started right before we recorded episode 41 is now called the Tribal Research Specialist podcast and is still going strong! Finally, the third segment focuses on the work the Crow THPO is doing and ongoing challenges as a THPO. We close out by discussing how the second Trump administration affects the work of a THPO and what we should all be doing to support THPOs and the resources they fight for.LinksHeritage Voices on the APNCTHPO (Crow Tribal Historic Preservation Office)Tribal Research Specialist: The PodcastSalish-Kootenai College’s Tribal Historic Preservation Program - Ep 23 — Heritage VoicesTechnology - Episode 25 — Heritage VoicesCollecting Oral Histories in Indian Country - Ep 41 - Heritage VoicesSustaining StewardshipTribal Historic Preservation Department - Salish Kootenai CollegeContactJessicaJessica@livingheritageanthropology.org@livingheritageAArchPodNetAPN 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/archpodnetTee Public StoreAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The two discuss Dr. Flewellen’s move to Stanford, how Dr. Flewellen’s research focus was entirely flipped on its head, and how they came back from that in a creative way. We also discuss the importance of standardizing excavation for future use as legacy collections. Finally, we discussed the oral history work that they are doing with Diving with a Purpose and even as a cultural anthropologist their methodology was one I had never heard of before!LinksHeritage Voices on the APNBlack Feminist Plenary sessionAyana Omilade FlewellenAyana Omilade Flewellen | Department of AnthropologySociety of Black Archaeologists: The Future of Archaeology Starts Herewww.divingwithapurpose.orgAn Aural Ethnography of Black Breath: Soundscapes at Submerged Heritage Sites of Enslavement Open Access Ayana Omilade Flewellen liquid blackness (2025) 9 (1): 106–117Archaeology in the Community WebsiteWatch: "Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter"“The Future of Archaeology Is Antiracist”: Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter | American Antiquity | Cambridge Core‘Lessons from the water’ on healing, history and finding freedom from fear | CNNYoutube VideoYoutube VideoDr. Flewellenayanaf@stanford.edu@illegible_musings on InstagramContactJessicaJessica@livingheritageanthropology.org@livingheritageAArchPodNetAPN 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/archpodnetTee Public StoreAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

During this episode we talk about how Chance first heard about anthropology during his time at Fort Lewis College, his time doing CRM work, and why he chose to switch to Museum Studies. We talked about a couple of projects that are near to his heart, including a workbook for Indigenous young people on CRM, how it affects Tribes, and why it is important to be involved and a couple of papers on the ethical treatment of animal remains. Lastly we talked about his approach in his current position and his advice for how other museum professionals can better work with Tribal Nations.LinksHeritage Voices on the APNToward Legal, Ethical, and Culturally Informed Care of Animal Remains in American Museum Collections | Advances in Archaeological Practice | Cambridge CoreHorse nations: After the Spanish conquest, horses transformed Native American tribes much earlier than historians thoughtEarly dispersal of domestic horses into the Great Plains and northern RockiesWhat is a Rebuilder? - Native Governance CenterHistory Colorado WebsiteLost HighwaysChance Ward's LinkedIn PageContactJessicaJessica@livingheritageanthropology.org@livingheritageAArchPodNetAPN 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/archpodnetTee Public StoreAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Transcribe →Bolivar Archaeological Project, Part Two - HeVo 100
Sep 1601:08:14Tap to summarizeThis Heritage Voices episode features Ms. Betty Kimble and Mr. Howard Clark from Denton, Texas. In Episode 99 with Dr. Maria Franklin, Dr. Alex Menaker, and Doug Boyd, we started talking about the Bolivar Archaeological Project and the excavation of Mr. Tom Cook’s blacksmith shop. For the 100th episode of the Heritage Voices podcast (!), Jessica chats with Ms. Betty Kimble and Mr. Howard Clark who are direct descendants of Mr. Tom Cook. We talk about what it was like learning more about their family history through this project, seeing the artifacts from their ancestor found during the archaeology study, participating in and conducting oral history interviews, and how they have been sharing with the community about this important history. Their family story highlights so many different eras of American history. On that front, we were particularly lucky to have Ms. Betty Kimble share her work in the 1960s working with other mothers on desegregation through the Denton’s Women’s Interracial Fellowship.LinksHeritage Voices on the APNMs. Betty Kimble’s story in Desegregating DentonArticle about Mr. Howard Clark’s 30 years with the Lewisville Police DepartmentExcellent video about the Bolivar Archaeological ProjectTexas Department of Transportation Webpage about the Bolivar Archaeological ProjectEasy to read article about Mr. Tom Cook’s LegacyAt the Intersections of History: Collaborative, Public Archaeology of the Nineteenth-Century Tom Cook Blacksmith Shop along the Chisholm Trail in Bolivar, Texas (Article in Advances in Archaeological Practice)Presentation to the North Texas Archaeological Society about the Chisolm Trail and Bolivar Archaeological ProjectThe Denton County Office of History and CultureQuakertown House Museum (DCOHC)I crisscrossed America to talk to people whose views I disagreed with.

Jul 1500:58:29Tap to summarizeFor this episode of Heritage Voices, Jessica Yaquinto speaks with Charlotta Hillerdal (University of Aberdeen), Jaqueline Nalikutaar Cleveland (Native Village of Kwinhagak), Lonny Alaskuk Strunk (Native Village of Kwinhagak), and Alice Watterson (University of Iceland). The team explains how climate change was causing artifacts to erode out on the shoreline, so the Native Village of Quinhagak (Kwinhagak) requested an archaeological excavation so that their heritage would be documented. They describe how what would happen to those artifacts and how to educate the community and larger public about their heritage remained a constant concern and area of discussion. The team described the process of creating this public education resource and how they conveyed the sense of place and focused on incorporating the language into the digital exhibit.LinksHeritage Voices on the APNNunalleq Digital Museum: multi-vocal narration of a Yup'ik pastNunalleq Digital MuseumNunalleq: Archaeological Excavation and Conservation LabNunalleq 2024Rick receives Friends of First Alaskans Ted Stevens AwardNunalleq Education ResourceYugtunHow Did You Live?
