Gender and Sex in Rock Art from the Rock Art Podcast - Ep 243
Gender and sex today are fluid concepts. Is that because it's a new idea or because it's finally something that can come out of the shadows? On today's episode we look at gender and sex in rock art. We challenge preconceived notions that male shamans are the only ones that created rock art. We also talk about gender representation in rock art.

Conclusive evidence that Vikings arrived well before Columbus - Ep 242
On this week's news episode we start with two stories about slavery. The first comes from the discovery of a 2000 year old child's show found in an Austrian mine. The second is from Ghana and the discovery of Britain's first slave fort in Africa. Finally, we learn about conclusive evidence of Vikings arriving in the Americas well before Columbus.

Where and When would you go if you could time travel? - Ep 241
What if time travel were possible? Well, it is, sort of. Into the future, anyway. But what about time travel to the past? What rules would a time traveler likely have to follow from a historical perspective? Where would Chris and Rachel like to go and what would we like to do or see? We talk about all this on today's episode. Where would you go? When would you go?

How to Bury a Vampire - Ep 239
Well, we had to do something for Halloween because, well, that's what podcasts do. So, in our style, we decided to talk about Vampires from a few news articles we found in the last couple months. Where does the legend come from? What did historic cultures do to suspected vampires? We learn all about it on this episode.

Customer Reviews
Y’all are just great
I hate reviews, but I really feel the need to say that you two have an excellent podcast and I really do wait for every episode. I am a law student who is a total archaeology/history nerd and you guys are a portion of my periodic fix. The breakdowns are always insightful and accessible. Beyond the subject matter, I love the humor from both of you and your chemistry is really endearing and cozy. You two have a gift in this and I hope you stick with it. Thanks, - Lane
Easy listen
Great information, easy to follow and I personally enjoy the dry humor and banter between the two. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained.
Mediocre Archaeology News Pod
Before I begin, I’ll caveat by saying that I only listened to the most recent episode. I was trying to expand my horizons in the realm of archaeology, because I’m trying to explore it as a hobby. I’m a history major, so obviously I understand the textual analysis behind events. But I’m interested in expanding into the hobby of actually uncovering historical evidence for the first time in centuries. In all of my finds researching this topic, however, this one is kind of lazy.
They basically Google a few archaeology news articles, provide extremely basic background, and move on to the next topic. My concern is that the approach here is SO basic, that it doesn’t do its due diligence. Example: The most recent episode discusses new finds of Confederate remains in Williamsburg, VA. The hosts go on a ramble about how the archaeological find can make the historical record more complete. Then, when they go to explain the wider context, they just basically go on an anti-war ramble instead of discussing the greater historical situation. It would literally take a 5 minute YouTube search to find a quick overview from the American Battlefield Trust to understand it a little better. The irony about making the historical record more complete while also basically denigrating the historical record is palpable.
Good news podcast. Not much else that’s good about it though.
