Aaron Deter-Wolf is a Prehistoric Archaeologist with the Tennessee Division of Archaeology in Nashville, where he manages ancient Native American sites on State-owned lands and conducts archaeological excavations and research. In addition to his work in Tennessee, for the past decade Aaron has been a leading researcher in developing the archaeological study of tattooing. Those efforts include using contextual analysis and microscopic use-wear signatures to identify tattooing tools in archaeological collections, efforts to systematically document tattoos on mummified human remains, and experiments recreating and testing ancient and historic tattooing implements.

In 2009 Aaron organized the first American academic symposium to examine ancient and early historic Native American tattooing, which led to the volume

Drawing with Great Needles: Ancient Tattoo Traditions of North America.

He is also co-editor of Ancient Ink: The Archaeology of Tattooing, the first-ever book dedicated to the global archaeological study of tattooing. In recent years Aaron was part of research teams that identified a 2,000-year old set of cactus spines from Utah, and 5,000-year old turkey bone needles from Tennessee. He shares information about the history of tattooing and body modification on the Instagram account @archaeologyink.

this episode has Guy Aitchison leading a conversation about tattooing best practices in thecovid 19 era.

"So, just to be clear: I am not a fan of politics and have no interest in taking sides here. The reality is, at some point we will all need to go back to work and to do so safely. Tattooing will be different in the near future, and as an industry we need to set an example of how to return to the workplace in the safest possible way. I believe that tattooers are uniquely prepared for this challenge, partly because of the tight-knit aspect of our community and how we are able to share helpful information quickly. Today at 2:00 Eastern Time we are talking with veteran tattoo & piercing safety experts Kris LaChance and Jesse Nesse plus special guests about specific measures we can take to ensure greater safety in our studios, including new recommendations on personal protection equipment and how to integrate all of this into our daily workflow." - guy Aitchison
