What is Chaco? Location, Features, and Chronology with Rich Friedman - S1E1

50 minutes

On the first episode of Site Bite’s Podcast season one, Carlton and Rob talk with Rich Friedman about the landscape and chronology of the famed Chaco Canyon archaeological site. We start off by getting Rich’s background in geology and how that education propelled him into Chacoan archaeology. We go in-depth about his work using emerging technologies and how those tools have allowed archaeologists to expand our understanding of the region’s environment and human behavior in and around Chaco Canyon.
