  • S03E01: To be or not to be?

    Welcome to Season 3! 
    We inaugurate this season by readjusting our tendency to see the world in binaries. We position queer theory in archaeological practice with our guest speaker, Scott Coleman. From the library to the field we traverse the mine-field of "set paths" to open up our view of the world.

    "What inspired this podcast?", asked a few of our listeners. We bring a slice of the behind-the-scenes story of the Chippin' Away podcast for you!

  • S02E12: Whose line is it, anyway!?

    Let us explore a much "alluded to" topic in our discussion of the past! How the study of languages could help the construction of a past cultural milieu. We introduce the theme of "Archaeolinguistics" or "Linguistic Anthropology" in this episode of our podcast, with our guest speaker Gabrielle Roccella. 

    Gabrielle draws from the world of Indo-European linguistics and discusses themes and syntactic constructions that could lend another ladder to the study of past societies. Ready? Pame! Andiamo!

  • S02E06: The Sands of Time
    In this, the second episode of 'Elementals',  we look at Earth. How can we use the Earth itself to help us date the past? And how have humans modified Earthly processes? 

    Join us, as we converse with Dr. Aayush Srivastava on how he uses sand grains to date the archaeological record (luminescence dating) and what his research into the Thar tells us about the ebb and flow of the sands of time!
