September 12, 2021HEADLINES: 6kyo Croatian Settlement, Clovis Camp, and Rare Find in Poland - Ep 138
We’ve got three completely different news stories for you this week. We start with a site that was found in Croatia by basically looking at satellite maps and looking for interesting shapes in the water. We then go to Michigan in the USA and look at a Clovis site that was found by a self-taught researcher. Finally, we head to Poland where a farmer found, and reported, a unique hoard of metal artifacts.

September 05, 2021Olcott Archaeology with Jason Cooper - Ep 137
This week we interview Jason Cooper, an archaeologist with the Washington DOT, the current president of the Association for Washington Archaeology, and former archaeologist with the environmental firm, AMEC. In 2008 we were lucky enough to work on an Olcott excavation with Jason, and now he has co-written a book about those findings. We discuss the significance of the Olcott tradition in Washington, as well as how our findings on the CRM project in 2008 contributed to our knowledge of the Olcott people.
