    Reconstructing a Maritime Past: Interview with Matthew Harpster - Ep 214

    This week we interview Dr. Matthew Harpster about his research using polygons to measure the density of maritime activity in the ancient Mediterranean Sea. He was a guest on the show back in 2020, and 4 years later he returns to discuss his new book that reveals patterns in ancient maritime activity and creates a narrative for this activity based on archaeological data from the sea floor.

    How Technological Innovation Can Drive Greater Accessibility and Inclusivity in Archaeology - Ep 212

    Archaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in Alula, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.

    Using Lidar to Analyze Chacoan Road Profiles - Ep 208

    We’re talking about Chacoan road networks again! A few years ago we interviewed Sean Field. He was doing research on the road networks coming into and out of Chaco Canyon. Sean Field is at it again with another paper but this time he’s using Lidar to analyze road profiles. It’s an innovative technique and Chris and Paul discuss it on this week’s show.
