In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, we examine the shift from the Late Plains Woodland Period to the emergence of the Early Plains Village tradition in the Central Plains. We explore the changes in settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, and social organization that accompanied this transition, from increased maize agriculture to the development of more permanent villages. What drove these transformations, and how did they set the foundation for later Central Plains societies? Join us as we unpack the archaeological evidence and discuss what this pivotal period reveals about the resilience and adaptability of Plains communities.

During these uncertain times in our discipline, it is easy and understandable to be assuming the worst. However, in order to ride any storm, it is important to have a broad perspective and prepare for all outcomes. On this episode, Andrew and Heather consider various perspectives of the current state of CRM in light of the most recent executive orders and the laying off of federal archaeologists. We consider both the shadowy and sunny side of the proverbial CRM street and provide some potential avenues of action.

For centuries, the story of the Nile has been dominated by Egypt but just beyond its borders, another great empire thrived. The Kingdom of Kush, rising in what is now Sudan, was a formidable force that conquered Egypt, commanded vital trade routes, and even stood against the mighty Roman Empire. But what truly set Kush apart was that its queens were warriors, monument builders, and sometimes they even ruled as sovereigns in their own right.
In this episode of The Past Macabre, we explore the lives and legacies of the Kandakes, the queens of Kush who wielded power like no other women of their time. These queens led armies into battle, oversaw the construction of vast temples and pyramids, and ensured that Kush flourished as a wealthy and influential empire. Through archaeology and ancient texts, we’ll uncover how they ruled, how they resisted foreign invaders, and how they shaped the destiny of their people.

David then discusses the Bellemeade Mansion and the Hermitage in Nashville, and how these powerful Southern families partook in the war.
But mainly, David speaks candidly about how these historic sites have evolved (and not evolved) in their ways of including the story Black Americans and those of the African Diaspora into the landscape of these histories

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, we explore the Plains Woodland Period and the vast networks that connected the Great Plains to the Midwest and Southeast. Focusing on the Kansas City Hopewell, we examine the evidence for long-distance exchange, ceremonial traditions, and social ties that linked Plains communities with broader cultural movements. We also discuss Late Woodland feasting events and their role in setting the stage for later interactions with Mississippian cultures. Join us as we uncover how these early connections shaped the cultural landscape of the Plains before the rise of the Mississippian world.

For the first time since the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, archaeologists have unearthed the tomb of a pharaoh! It belongs to Thutmose II of Egypt’s powerful 18th Dynasty, who was the husband of Hatshepsut, the woman who ruled on her own as king. But that’s not all, near Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri, incredible new finds are shedding fresh light on one of Egypt’s most powerful women, and those who came before her. What do these discoveries reveal about the golden age of ancient Egypt? Tune in for the latest on these groundbreaking discoveries!

In this Episode, David discusses his recent travels to California and Connor’s visit to Nashville the week before.
David and Connor met up with Aaron Deter-Wolf of Archaeology Ink and Danny Riday of Totemic Tattoo in Nashville, who gave David and Connor hand-poked tattoos with bone and stone. David discusses the artistry, history, and process behind Danny’s work and his hand-poked tattoo, that is a memorial to his late dog, Strider.
David then discusses three Civil War era sites he and Connor toured in the Nashville area called the Carter House, Carnton Plantation, the Lotz House, which all were part of the Battle of Franklin. This battle was a major part of the Civil War and the eventual collapse of the confederate army.
In Part 2, David will then discusses the Bellemeade Mansion and the Hermitage in Nashville, and how these powerful Southern families partook in the war.
But mainly, David speaks candidly about how these historic sites have evolved (and not evolved) in their ways of including the story Black Americans and those of the African Diaspora into the landscape of these histories.

Everyone’s favorite monolith must be the one from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but did you know that monoliths have been popping up across the world in mysterious and unexplained ways? Taking this one step further, if you are guessing that “mysterious and unexplained” may be secret code words for “fake and easily explainable” then you my friend may be a master of secret codes!
PS - We have to do a bit on 2010: The Year We Make Contact because all monoliths must be covered for the sake of science.

Join Fredrik as he digs into Graham Hancock’s latest claims on Ancient Apocalypse, season two, Chapter One. In this episode, skepticism and archaeology meet wild speculation as we explore:
White Sands Exposé: Discover how the striking gypsum dunes tell a well-documented geological and biological story—far from the global cataclysm Hancock claims.
Amazonian Earthworks: Journey to Acre, Brazil, where newly uncovered mounds and geoglyphs have challenged our historical ideas of the Amazon. But without any traveling white Atlanteans.
Science vs. Speculation: Learn why rigorous scientific inquiry and the process of peer review are crucial for testing extraordinary theories.
Critical Connections: Examine Hancock’s attempts to tie distant cultures together and why mainstream archaeology—and solid evidence—says otherwise.
Tune in for a concise, engaging look at ancient sites, alternative history claims, and why a skeptical mindset is the archaeologist’s best tool.
