In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton speaks with Chris Johnston, Operations Director of the PaleoCultural Research Group (PCRG), about his journey through archaeology and the importance of bringing the public into archaeological research. Chris discusses his path from his undergraduate program at CU Boulder, through graduate research on communal bison hunting at the Roberts Ranch Buffalo Jump, his time as Assistant State Archaeologist of Colorado, and his return to PCRG. The conversation explores PCRG’s approach to citizen science and how involving volunteers can both advance archaeological research and create a broader community of stewards for the archaeological record.

The second half turns to Chris’s ongoing research at the Windy Ridge Quartzite Quarry (5GA872) in northern Colorado. Chris discusses the evidence for American Indian quarrying at the site dating back at least to the Folsom period, as well as his team’s investigations of workshop areas located away from the main quarry. The conversation explores what these workshop areas reveal about stone tool production, prehistoric mobility, and technological organization in the Rocky Mountains, along with the questions that remain for future research.

Today we’re joined by filmmaker Maarten Peels to talk about his 2024 short film De Poten van de Bizon (The Bison’s Legs), the story of two friends who go on a dream quest to make a cave painting. Maarten did extensive research in order to avoid the clichéd caveman tropes and make something we’ve never seen before: a plausible and scientifically accurate portrayal of Palaeolithic life. We are absolutely in love with this film, and highly recommend that you pause the episode and go watch it right now!

Today on the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, we pit The Odyssey against Treasure Planet in a movie match up to the death! Why these two disparate films (besides the vague pseudoarchaeological vibes inherent in both)? Because my daughter said she likes Treasure Planet better than The Odyssey.

She might be right.

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton speaks with Dr. Trevor R. Peck about one of the most recognizable, and often misunderstood, archaeological features of the Northern Plains: the “medicine wheel.” Drawing on his article “Unpacking the ‘Medicine Wheel’ Rubric,” Trevor discusses why archaeologists have historically grouped a diverse range of stone features under this broad label and why more careful identification of their function and cultural affiliation matters.

The conversation then focuses on Death Lodges, a distinctive type of stone feature that Trevor argues represents a Blackfoot cultural tradition. He discusses the archaeological, historical, ethnographic, and Blackfoot knowledge used to identify these features, including evidence from the Ellis Death Lodge and the Onistah (Calf Robe) robe. Together, the discussion explores how Indigenous knowledge can help archaeologists reinterpret the archaeological record and better understand the cultural landscapes of the Northern Plains.

The episode concludes by considering what moving beyond the catch-all term “medicine wheel” means for Plains archaeology and how greater collaboration with Indigenous communities can lead to more accurate and culturally informed interpretations of the past.

On this month’s episode, Jessica speaks with Dr. Uzma Rizvi (Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies at Pratt Institute) and Sayed Gul Kalash (Archaeologist, Museum Professional, and Cultural Preservationist from the Kalash Valley, Chitral, Pakistan). The two discuss their discovery of archaeology as a field and their subsequent journeys to become archaeologists. As a result, Gul Kalash became the first and only Kalash community woman archaeologist/anthropologist. The two then discuss how they came to work together and describe some of the important work each of them has focused on, including the importance of using legacy collections, sharing data, learning cultural protocols and respecting community, and finding your own research questions/methods.
