On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, Connor and Carlton dive deep into the topic of cannibalism in the past and present. They start out talking about what prompted them to dive down this rabbit hole. They define the terms associated with cannibalism and then discuss the earliest known evidence of cannibalism in the archaeological record. They then detail other examples of cannibalism in time and end the episode asking the important question “Is drinking blood considered cannibalism?”.

On this week’s news episode we first cover some cool bird bone flutes that were used up to 12,000 years ago as calls for birds of prey. We then go to Greece where the archaeological record has been pushed back a quarter million years to about 700,000 years ago by the presence of stone tools. Finally, we talk about some ancient ovens that were used consistently for over 5000 years by native Americans in northeastern Washington State.

On today’s episode, Jessica hosts Dr. Richard Meyers (Oglala Lakota), Tribal Relations Specialist at the Black Hills National Forest and the former Director of Graduate Studies and Associate Professor at Oglala Lakota College. Richie joined as part of the panel on Episode 73: Exploring the Ethics in Experimental Archaeology and I knew we needed to have him back to do a one on one episode. We talk about various aspects of identity, as well as the challenges and benefits of working in a variety of types of positions across the field of Anthropology, academia, and federal service. Richie also talks about his current work as a Tribal Relations Specialist and provides important advice for anyone wanting to go into Tribal Relations specifically, but really any form of Anthropology more generally.
