Bolivar Archaeological Project, Part One - Ep 99
Aug 1901:03:24Tap to summarizeThis Heritage Voices episode features Dr. Maria Franklin (University of Texas at Austin), Dr. Alex Menaker (Stantec, Inc.), and Doug Boyd (Stantec, Inc.) and is part one of a two part series on the Bolivar Archaeological Project, a collaborative community archaeology project sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation. In this episode they provide context for the Bolivar Archaeological Project including the Ransom and Sarah Williams Farmstead project that paved the way for this study. Next, they broke down the different components of the project: Historic research, archaeology, oral history, and community engagement. They described how the different disciplines informed each other and how the lineal descendants and descendant community heavily influenced and contributed to the project throughout. Finally, this episode closes out with a discussion of the archaeology findings, as well as the archaeology of blacksmithing in general. Stay tuned for episode 100 with Mr. Tom Cook’s lineal descendants (who have provided invaluable service to their community in their own right as well), Ms. Betty Kimble and Mr. Howard Clark.LinksExcellent 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 ProjectMs. Betty Kimble’s story in Desegregating DentonArticle about Mr. Howard Clark’s 30 years with the Lewisville Police DepartmentRansom and Sarah Williams Farmstead online exhibit on Texas Beyond HistoryThe Denton County Office of History and CultureHeritage Voices on the APNContactJessicaJessica@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 →Nunalleq Digital Museum - Ep 98
Jul 15, 202500:58:29Tap 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?
