Apologies for the later than usual show, but we're back after a mid-season pause this fortnight-and-a-half and this one, listener, is a record breaking tight 31 minutes of content the likes the NB Archaeology Podcast has never seen. We touch base with Gabe while he's in New Hampshire and Ken is in New Brunswick, to recap the Eastern States Archeological Federation Annual Meeting at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island.
On this show, you’ll hear from Zac Singer (State of Maryland), Trevor Dow (UNB), Deirdre McGrath (UMaine), Nathaniel Kitchel (Salve Regina), Jon Alperstein (Dartmouth), Heather Rockwell (Salve Regina), and John Kelly (PAL). (Apologies to a few interviewees to whom Gabe should have held the mic closer—we’ll try again next meeting.) Thanks to everyone who participated and we'll be back with our regularly scheduled content next episode!

This fortnight, we're back with a real Vaubanarama of a Great Site from the Maritimes, taking a trip across the Bay of Fundy thanks to a listener request. We're headed to Annapolis Royal and Port-Royal, no wait, Charles Fort, no wait, the fort at Port-Royal, no wait, Fort Anne! with Becki Dunham, Parks Canada Terrestrial Archaeologist. We talk about the Mi'kmaq presence in Annapolis River area, the various iterations of the fort, public archaeology at Fort Anne, and robotic lawnmowers. We also suggest opening the Mappanapolis splash for a visual queue to fully immerse yourself in this installment of the Great Sites series.

This fortnight, Ken and Gabe have a chat with Dimity Hammon, Vice President of the Tubac Historical Society--who, while in warmer settings of the southwest today, cut her teeth in the cooler (and at times inhospitably wet) climes of New Brunswick. We talk to Dimity about her thesis work on the Holt's Point site and the famous engraved pebbles, the early days of archaeology at UNB, The Computer, and a dolphin out-of-water in the Passamaquoddy Bay. Not to mention, some Historic archaeology from the southwest!

Welcome to Season 3 Listeners!!
Ken and Gabe are both in New Brunswick this fortnight, and although they’ve stepped into place they’ve stepped out of time again. They’re joined this episode by Margarita de Guzman, the Managing Director and CEO of Circle CRM and the founding director of The Fair Field Foundation. We discuss The Fair Field Foundation’s initiatives around bolstering women in archaeology through mentorship and advocacy, and some of the issues faced by female archaeologists. We also chat about the state of CRM and a public archaeology program in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

This fortnight, we’re putting on our best Boston accent and becoming the New Brunswick Auk-aeology Podcast. That’s right, listener, all good things must come to an end. Like Season 2 of the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast and the Great Auk. There's no cliffhangers here, we're not even burying the lede, but we’re joined for our season finale by Lucia Snyderman, who is researching the Great Auk and its extinction using data from archaeological contexts in the Far Northeast and further afield. The Great Auk couldn’t soar, but this topic does, and if you listen closely, you might even hear its dulcet tones echoing through your earphones. We’ll be back soon with Season III!
Thanks to you, listeners, to Emanuel, and to APANB and ULeth SSHRC Exchange for sponsorship.

This fortnight (with proper audio now), Gabe is still in tiki gear two weeks later and Ken is still freezing despite the current heat wave and we're joined by Dr. Emma Yasui, the multi-talented archaeobotanist, podcaster, cultural consultant, and gaming guru. On our way through a conversation covering everything from representation in ttRPGs to Japanese kitchen gardens, Gabe learns about discord and how an RPG works, and Ken reminisces about his pals on subaruforester.com. If you're interested in Jomon and Nikkei archaeology, or wondering what to cook with your yamaimo, this is the episode you've been waiting for!

This fortnight, the Northeast is engulfed in a heat wave and Alberta has returned to periglacial conditions. Gabe is therefore on assignment poolside while Ken stokes the fire and says a prayer for his tomatillos. Whether you’re in a daiquiri or a hot toddy setting today, get ready to change latitude and change attitude as the NB Archaeology Podcast goes south of the border. In the latest installment of our Great Sites series, we’re joined by Arthur Anderson of the University of New England to tell us all about Maine site 5.06 or the village of Chouacoët. 5.06 is the so-called village described by Champlain in 1605, but Arthur’s recent work there suggests some 2000 years of Indigenous occupation at the site, and complicates archaeological understanding about what a village should look like.

Content Warning: this episode deals with sensitive topics like drug use and sexual harassment.
Archaeology is a lot of fun, and it’s even more fun when you aren’t on the business end of a bear bluff charge. In this episode, we are joined by Greer Vanderbyl (22:37), Carol Colaninno (59:53), and Nadine Byers (1:22:43) for big picture advice about field safety. Greer discusses building a culture of safety among your field crew, Carol provides advice for field directors to help combat sexual harassment in the field, and Nadine explains why archaeologists should consider adding Naloxone to their first aid kits. Also - are you a musician or podcaster in need of audio editing and producing? Our incomparable producer, Emanuel Akel (13:36), is looking to expand his portfolio (see details in credits, below).

This fortnight we learned you can take the Loyalist out of the states, but maybe you can’t take the states out of the Loyalist. You certainly can’t take the cannon out of the dooryard. Tune in to hear Dr. David Black tell us about Sam Bliss, the well armed shopkeeper turned soldier turned well-armed Quoddy Region farmer. And it’s not just weapons, Dave will also tell you about what the Blisses ate and raised on his Island. If you’re interested in Loyalists in New Brunswick, this is an important part of the archaeological record, and our second installment of the “Great Sites” series.

He’ll also give you a primer on the archaeology of Newfoundland and Labrador, share some of his recent work at Stock Cove, and discuss how the peopling of Newfoundland fits into a broader understanding of the colonization of North America.

This fortnight we were joined by some of the UNB and Parks Canada team conducting bioarchaeological research at the (rapidly eroding) Fortress of Louisbourg in Cape Breton. Tune in to hear from Amy Scott, Mallory Moran, Kelsey Kane, Chris Burgess, Nicole Hughes, Taylor Corbett, and Nicole Breedon about mitigating 18th century cemeteries from the Fortress, and the cutting edge, we mean breaking news, uhhh….well anyway about broken bones, 18th century medical practice, and much more. Dr. Amy Scott and her research team will give an expanded presentation, “Skeletal Stories,” at the UNB-Fredericton’s Harriet Irving Library Wednesday, March 27 from 4-9:00.

This fortnight, the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast makes sure you don’t feel like you’re up a creek without a paddle. Your hosts, Ken and Gabe, talk about dugouts, birchbark canoes, skin boats, and portage routes in a 13000 year tour of what we know, and especially what we don’t, about watercraft. We also introduce our new producer, Emanuel Akel. Finally, we’d like to fondly remember Dick Doyle, friend and archaeologist extraordinaire.

This fortnight (and a half...) Gabe and Ken are talking archaeology with our friend and esteemed guest, Mr. Austin Paul, Esq. We're also in the same room, and joined by a whole crowd of people in the Riverside Room at Picaroons Roundhouse/540 North on the banks of the Wolastoq. That's right, it's our first live episode, recorded in Fredericton on February 20th as part of the APANB/UNB Anthropology sponsored "Night of New Brunswick Archaeology".

Tune in this fortnight for a new NB Archaeology Podcast series, “Great Sites.” In Great Sites episodes, we’ll showcase important archaeological sites from New Brunswick and the region.
This episode, we talk to Dr. Sue Blair of the University of New Brunswick about the Jemseg Crossing Site (BkDm-14), where she led one of largest scale archaeological excavations ever undertaken in the province. The project was also a pioneering collaborative archaeology project.

Most archaeological research in North America is cultural resource management, or CRM. This type of archaeology is conducted to protect archaeological sites from development, or mitigate the effects of that development on archaeological sites/resources. Your hosts are joined by Trevor Dow of Ecofor Consulting this fortnight to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of CRM.
