    WIA with PEARL: Pollen, Careers, and Archaeology, Oh My!

    Tune in while Kirsten, Chelsi, and Emily discuss cool projects, career paths in archaeology, and starting a business with Dr. Angela Perrotti of the Palynology and Environmental Research Lab. Angela goes deep with what palynology is, what we can learn from pollen in the archaeological record, and how she got the coolest job! She explores research variety, contrasting the complexities in working with academic versus private cultural resource firms and public agencies. The work of archaeological sciences and how they can serve not just regulatory projects and academic research but also help museums answer their pressing research questions, large and small. Show Notes * Check out the PEARL website. * Cleveland Museum bronze statue that PEARL tested for provenance data is still roiled in controversy. * Take a look at the ongoing research at the Manasota Keys site in Florida. * The other site Dr. Perrotti references in the discussion on mortuary ponds, the Windover site. Some really cool and unique archaeology comes out of the Southeast! * Online reference collections are valuable for researchers, including students and professionals across many disciplines. Two Dr. Perrotti notes that have been important to her work at PEARL include the Global Pollen Project, and important references for non-pollen palynomorphs (otherwise known as particles that appear similar to pollen, but are from different organisms).

    Join Chelsi, Emily, and Kirsten as we have a returning guest, Dr. April Biesaw, PhD of Vassar College discuss some long-term projects. Dr. Biesaw shares how the long-forgotten have meaning, and can teach us to think about the “Greater Good”, what that really means, and the impact of social programs off “poorhouses” on the poor, both living and dead. We discuss how these projects reflect current events, between the push for large infrastructure projects, and caring for the vulnerable.

    'Sins of Shovel' Review With Author Rachel Morgan

    On this episode, Emily Long, Chelsi Slotten, and Kirsten Lopez are joined by Rachel Morgan, author of the fantastic book ‘Sins of the Shovel: Looting, Murder, and the Evolution of American Archaeology.’ We asked Rachel all about her motivations for writing about the history of how American archaeology came to be, along with highlighting a host of unique looters, archaeologists, and reporters along the way.

    The History and Archaeology of Thanksgiving (Released Nov. 2021)

    On this episode, Chelsi, Kirsten, and Emily chat about the history and archaeology of the Thanksgiving holiday. What was the original harvest celebration all about? Were the Pilgrims an absolute bummer? What are our misconceptions about this holiday? What can archaeology tell us about the relationship between the Pilgrims and indigenous communities? The hosts also discuss the importance of recognizing the colonial and racist roots of Thanksgiving, and how for many modern indigenous communities, the holiday is a Day of Mourning. While enjoying time with one’s family and friends during the holiday, there are a variety of ways to educate each other about the real history of Thanksgiving and to respect and show empathy on the Day of Mourning. *This episode originally was released on November 21, 2021 Links 400 Years After the ‘First Thanksgiving,’ the Tribe That Fed the Pilgrims Continues to Fight for Its Land Amid Another Epidemic: https://time.com/5911943/thanksgiving-wampanoag/?fbclid=IwAR2LR0fiCKHBBBuLF1o1ph1X5OTRzPnB6gDLF1_jhBRQMsK0KssMcUocUmU The Myths of the Thanksgiving Story and the Lasting Damage They Imbue: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/thanksgiving-myth-and-what-we-should-be-teaching-kids-180973655/?fbclid=IwAR0qvxZCRShtLwFhqc1uUkg_islAxajXxg1f1rX-1WJ3GPZfBF0gO9rpcfs Everyone’s history matters: The Wampanoag Indian Thanksgiving story deserves to be known: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-american-indian/2017/11/23/everyones-history-matters-and-wampanoag-indian-thanksgiving-story-deserves-be-known/?fbclid=IwAR21rgNrxr9uxbFKocaUejagxKBgr0V-GlO5RNn7EM6aA-iLrfv_pv_yaLA Before the Pilgrims, Floridians celebrated the ‘real’ first Thanksgiving: https://news.ufl.edu/articles/2015/11/before-the-pilgrims-floridians-celebrated-the-real-first-thanksgiving.html?fbclid=IwAR0_KrQuo6hr7SrBuK5Aj7WpghAmK8Wg4qT_R2I9x-btBZR_dJu8Y-_KABA Thanksgiving at Plimoth Plantation: Kathleen Curtin: https://archive.archaeology.org/online/interviews/curtin.html?fbclid=IwAR0faQSfAozzU0geQP6_-C7gbLkzXa5SkTsZQlnU8K3kcaJ17KQ9Kkbef00 Related Episodes Archaeology of Foodways with Dr. Tanya Peres Favorites of 2022
