We start today's show with a discussion about the current uses to Twitter and Mastodon after Elon Musk's takeover. For the last two segments, however, we talk about a novel way photogrammetry is being used on an excavation in Bulgaria. Want to see the excavation at any level? This will do it!

Have you ever had a big, angry mob of anonymous keyboard warriors tell you the same wrong thing over and over again? Where they typed the same foolishness so many times that you got tired of replying and decided to make a podcast about it instead? Maybe it’s just me.

On tonight’s episode, we explore the great non-debate of “Clovis First,” an idea that archaeologists let go of decades ago, but pseudoarchaeologists hold onto as tightly as the pearls that they clutch every time I point out that they are wrong. Enjoy!

On today's episode, Jessica hosts a conversation with Dr. Antoinette Jackson and Delande Justinavil about Black cemeteries. We talk about their work and how their efforts fit into larger efforts to learn more about and protect Black cemeteries. We talk about the importance of using a variety of methods and disciplines to understand this important topic, as well as the necessity of including living people and art to inform this work and speak to the general public. The discussion includes the importance of reframing away from the idea of Black cemeteries as “abandoned” and the many layered efforts necessary to protect Black cemeteries holistically.

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories! First up, after a 2 year hiatus, underwater excavations of the HMS Erebus have resumed with some amazing new findings. Next, we head over to Scandinavia where genetic studies of the ancient remains tell a new story about the movement of people in and out of the area in the Viking era. And finally, how Nazis 'whitewashed' a shaman's prehistoric remains.

This week we happened across 3 different stories in the News about to looting and the collection of antiquities both by museums and individuals. There are many ways that looting happens, and it can have far reaching effects on both the looter(s) and the people from whom they stole.

It's a news episode! We found three articles that all happen to deal with archaeological metallurgy. From sourcing to melting with a laser, there's a lot you can tell about an object based on what it's metals are either composed of or are sourced from.

Did you survive the Maya apocalypse of 2012? Are you still putting your life back together after the supervolcano covered your home in lava just before the Tsunami washed it away? Is your equilibrium still unequal after the close call with Planet X? Does the Earth’s gravity still feel “not quite right” in the years since?

The renegade few of us who survived need to stick together. Let’s analyze the fallout of that fateful day on the 10 year anniversary of December 21, 2012, a day that will be long remembered…for nothing at all!
