🎙️ Public Archaeology with Michael Thomin 🎙️ In our latest episode, we delve into the field of public archaeology with museum manager Mike Thomin. While AnthroPuzzled primarily focuses on careers beyond academia and museum work, I believe it's still valuable to spotlight these professions to offer our listeners a well-rounded perspective. In this conversation, we cover key topics including: 🔍 Ethical Archaeology – We discuss the important distinction between grave robbing and legitimate archaeological research, and the legal responsibility of leaving artifacts in place, especially on state lands in Florida. 🌍 Preserving Northwest Florida’s Heritage – Mike talks about his work with the Northwest Florida Maritime Landscape Alliance for Preservation (MLAP) and efforts to secure a National Heritage Area designation for northwest Florida—the first of its kind in the state. 💡 Public Engagement in Archaeology – We explore how public archaeology plays a crucial role in engaging local communities—from schools and businesses to nonprofits and state legislators—in preserving cultural heritage for future generations. This episode highlights the vital work being done to protect our historical and cultural resources and the importance of involving the public in preserving them for the future.

It's Official! Archaeology does involve the study of dinosaurs after all! Read all about ways that plastics are entangled with archaeology in this original collection of thirty-two essays by authors from a diversity of fields and perspectives: https://lnkd.in/e_g3HMjj This project owes much to the vision of Taylor & Francis Group, and to the co-operative attitude and commitment of my wonderful co-editors, Thóra Pétursdóttir, Geneviève Godin and Estelle Praet. The co-conception, co-creation, and co-editing were an absolute pleasure.

Unveiling the Secrets of History with Archaeology Dogs Did you know about these amazing four-legged detectives? Archaeology dogs, also known as archaeological or historic human remains detection dogs, are highly trained canines that assist archaeologists in uncovering human remains, historic graves and ancient sites! How do they do it? These dogs have an incredible sense of smell, making them invaluable in surveying large areas quickly and efficiently. Archaeology dogs excel at locating burial sites, from ancient tombs to more recent resting places. Their keen noses can detect human remains buried deep underground, aiding in forensic archaeology and historical investigations. Imagine the stories they help unravel from centuries past! Let's give a round of applause to these incredible canine archaeologists! Keep following for more fascinating insights into the world of archaeology and heritage preservation. #ArchaeologyDogs #HeritageDetection #HistoryUnearthed #DogDetectives #ForensicArchaeology #AncientSites #Archaeology #DiscoverHistory #DogMerickel #DogTrainer #DogTraining #WorkingDog #K9 #HistoricGraveDogDetection #HRD #detectiondog #DogScience

Think #archaeology, and you may picture the History Channel, images of large digs shown at museums, or the Indiana Jones franchise. 🛕 🐍 But did you know that with the addition of Dovetail Cultural Resource Group, we've expanded our own services to include archaeology? In fact, Kerri Barile was invited by Texas Contractor Magazine to write about how archaeology work affects excavation and how to avoid pitfalls. So how did Kerri get into archaeology? How does she know where to dig? And most importantly, has she ever found any gold? Find out: https://lnkd.in/eSt8YyYx

We've extended the submission deadline for our upcoming issue on maritime archaeology. Please share, we're trying hard to get the word out! Mainsheet is a new peer-reviewed journal of multidisciplinary maritime studies, published by Mystic Seaport Museum. We publish open access with no fee to authors, in addition to our very beautifully designed print version, and the journal is geared to both academics and interested non-academics, so it’s a great venue for scholars interested in public outreach.

https://lnkd.in/dbrk4VNN YouTube Title: "Dendrochronology Explained: Unlocking Tree-Ring Dating in Archaeology" YouTube Description: In this video, we explore dendrochronology, also known as tree-ring dating, and its crucial role in archaeological dating. Dendrochronology provides highly accurate dating of wooden artifacts and structures by analyzing the growth rings in trees, offering insight into past human activities and environmental conditions. Learn how archaeologists use this precise method to date ancient wood, reconstruct past climates, and complement other techniques like radiocarbon dating. Key points covered: What is dendrochronology and how does it work? Applications in dating wooden artifacts and historical structures. The advantages and limitations of dendrochronology. Dendrochronology's role in environmental reconstruction. How dendrochronology is used with radiocarbon dating. If you're interested in archaeological methods or the science behind dating ancient materials, this video is for you! Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights on archaeological discoveries.

Let’s #DigDeeper into the discovery of the Folsom spear point: “The Folsom spear point, which was excavated in 1927 near the small town of Folsom, New Mexico, is one of the most famous artifacts in North American archaeology, and for good reason: It was found in direct association with the bones of an extinct form of Ice Age bison. The Folsom point therefore demonstrated conclusively, and for the first time, that human beings were in North America during the last Ice Age—thousands of years earlier than previously thought. The Folsom discovery marked the end of a long series of sometimes serendipitous, sometimes deliberate actions by an intriguing cast of characters. As such, it helps us understand that archaeology—like most fields of study—has very few “Eureka!” moments in which a brilliant sage comes upon an insight that suddenly changes the world. Instead, archaeology is cumulative, often slow, and painstaking. And while an individual artifact can indeed be important, it’s context (where it was found) and association (what it was found with) are often more important than the object itself.” Want to learn more? Head over to sapiens.org to read "How the Folsom Point Became an Archaeological Icon" https://lnkd.in/eejEtiAR 📸This broken spear point found between two bison ribs ultimately changed not only the field of archaeology but also the narrative surrounding the arrival of Native Americans in North America.

Stay tuned to learn more about how archaeology dogs contribute to the conservation and exploration of our national park treasures! #ArchaeologyDogs #NationalParkService #CulturalHeritage #ExploreOurPast #PreserveHistory #DogMerickel #DogTrainer #DogTraining #WorkingDog #K9 #HistoricGraveDogDetection #HRD #detectiondog #DogScience

PACE OF CHANGE: Occasionally home archaeology unearths a historic gem. This is the 1996 index for TELETEXT, the pre-internet internet. Pictureless, pixilated, slow and ugly, teletext offered staccato access to all-of-life in just 687 pages. Here are some of my favourites – pg 247 ‘Bournemouth’, pg 446 ‘Angst’ and in the ‘Fifty Plus’ section pg 675 ‘Lost touch’ (quite). I also note the random location of ‘Religion’ in the Disability section, and some subjects that still resonate loudly including pg 460. ‘Go Green/ Environment’ (how did that work out?) and pg 651,the extraordinarily ahead-of-its-time ‘Telecommuting’. But the pièce de résistance for me and my industry colleagues must be pg 479 ‘BRIDGE’ #bridges #bridgedesign #archaeology #backtothefuture #the90s #teletext
