    “Impudence.” - Ba’al “No tuna.” - Jack Stargate wasn’t the first to mess around with Ba’al’s characterization. Follow the storm-god from his ancient Near Eastern origins through his later demonization, then compare that long religious history with Stargate SG‑1’s Goa’uld Baʿal to explore how symbols of godhood are built before being torn down.

    Who Gets Published? Gender Inequity in Plains Anthropology with Dr. Phyllis Johnson and Erica Carmody - Plains 43

    In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton speaks with Phyllis Johnson and Erica Carmody about their recent open-access (no subscription required) Plains Anthropologist article, “Patriarchy Persists: Gender Inequities in Plains Anthropologist Publishing from 1954 to 2023.” Drawing on nearly seventy years of publication data, they examine persistent gender disparities in archaeological publishing, discuss why women's authorship rates have remained disproportionately low and, in some cases, declined since the early 1990s, and explore the structural factors that shape scholarly visibility and career advancement. The conversation considers what these patterns reveal about the history of Plains archaeology, how representation influences the production of archaeological knowledge, and what journals, institutions, and professional organizations can do to create a more equitable future for the discipline.

    Five Pilgrims and a Lunar Spirit: A Panel Deconstruction - Rock Art 166

    In episode 166, Dr. Alan Garfinkel continues his discussion of a major Coso rock art panel, focusing on recurring symbolic elements and their possible cosmological meanings. He examines prominent figures depicted with snakes and distinctive staff-like wands, drawing on insights from researcher Bernard Jones and Hopi ceremonial traditions to explore connections between rock art, the winter solstice, and beliefs about maintaining cosmic balance. Alan discusses Indigenous concepts of the sun and moon as opposing yet complementary forces, including Nahua and broader Uto-Aztecan traditions that explain celestial cycles through mythic conflict and renewal.
