On this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast Connor and David sit down with Matt Stirn, a professional archaeologist, photographer and journalist.

After catching up, the podcast as usual begins with how Matt got into archaeology. And as you might’ve guessed, he’s involved with Wyoming archaeology, and got his start when he was only 13 years old.

Matt ended up doing fieldwork in Colorado with Dr. Richard Adams in Colorado State University doing high altitude archaeology. He also was Connor‘s TA on his field school.

Matt elaborates on his research and the importance of pinenuts two people living at high altitudes in Wyoming, and his masters thesis on predictive modeling regarding pine nuts and high altitude.

We end the show with a conversation about Matt‘s current career and the state of archaeology. Matt took an interesting route becoming a journalist after becoming a scientist, and he discusses how that really benefits what he does now. Matt also gives advice to students looking to do something similar.

New York City has had a long and varied history. From the time of the Native Americans to the late 1800s when the boroughs were folded into the city limits many people, cultures, and events have left their mark. That mark leaves a material culture that has been excavated by teams of archaeologists over the last half-century or more. That artifact collection now has a home and as a result, this book was written to tell the story OF that collection. We bring on two of the four authors in this episode to talk about the book and the city.

Nan A. Rothschild is an urban social archaeologist who was Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College and is adjunct professor at Columbia University.

H. Arthur Bankoff is the advisor to the chair for archaeology at the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and is a professor emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at Brooklyn College, City University of New York.
