It's the fourth Tuesday of the month! Which means it's time for another episode Tea-break Time Travel. . This month I delved into the fascinating subject of wood, and more specifically talked with archaeologist Christopher Wakefield (@archaeochris ) about the wooden wheels and other finds discovered at the beautifully preserved site of Must Farm. Points discussed include why furniture might have wooden wheels, how wheels developed over time, and the issues of working with wooden finds from prehistory. . As a special end of year treat, if you are a member of the Archaeology Podcast Network then you can also listen in to a bonus episode with Chris where we go into more detail about the site of Must Farm itself. If you're not a member but this sounds interesting, I'd definitely check out the @archpodnet homepage (link in stories) and consider joining! You get access to all kinds of bonus content from all the shows on the APN (and there are a lot!), plus ad-free episodes and all kinds of fun merch. . As always, the episode is available to listen to on most podcasting platforms, as well as the APN homepage. Happy listening! . #WoodenWheels #wood #woodworking #MustFarm #AncientWood #prehistoric #prehistory #BronzeAge #archaeology #archaeologist #ArchaeologyLovers #podcast #NewEpisode #ArchaeologyPodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmq7aS5KR_2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Very much like all other shoes of the same brand, you will enjoy the same health benefits offered by Earth's Kalso Negative Heel Technology with Earth Origin shoes. These shoes are basically design to encourage a healthier lifestyle. They promote proper posture when walking, sitting, running or standing. Workout myths comes from your own variety of places, you can use them from supplement companies, bodybuilding magazines and podcasts. Why is there such solidworks com crack in doing what all the so-called "reliable" sources a person? There were quite apples contain these dogs in Swiss. The reason for this was the meticulous nature for this dogs along with the less associated with well bred bitches. To do this reason, the perception of this dog in the united states was delayed until 1968. In the same year, generate Swiss Mountain Dog Club of America was also born. Till date, the merchant is renowned for training well-known of dogs for weight pulling, herding, drafting various other security and life saving purposes. One way I describe all of this, is this : your Liabilities are often your Venture. Looking around my Rebellious Millionaire group, in fact most successful people and businesses, possess a similar Origin story to hang their hat on. This is because your Origin story or liabilities are such a strong marketing tool, is because individuals (customers, clients, even the opposite sex) empathise with flaw.

On your Twitter you were talking about liking podcasts — if it’s not too personal a question, which ones? Ok you really like MBMBAM and TAZ (which I also LOVE), but are there any others you’re into?

not too personal at all! though i do warn you i only listen to two types of podcasts: fancasts and extremely specific educational content

as far as fan casts, I love any gay Star Wars content so I'm a huge Force Friends Rewatch fan, and just started Pink Milk and I love them both. (Rupalp's Podrace, obviously as well.) Pod Sing Se is a great avatar fan cast; Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men is a classic, been listening to that for years. Star Trek: The Next Conversation & Deep Space Pride are both winners. OH AND CLEARLY Legends In Review, but i literally assume anyone who knows me for Legends already listens to LIR lmao

educational content include History of Rome, the Archaeology Podcast Network, A Taste of the Past, This Week in Evolution, The History of English, A Way With Words, The Medieval Podcast, and NPR's Moth Radio Hour. I'm extremely boring. (ALSO you have to listen to Les Deux You Remember This? its so good)

#kyoshisaidfuckcolonizers #i dont listen to that many story podcasts im sorry #also do not give me recs i cannot add anymore to the list sksks #i only listen to fancasts and histroy IM SORRY SKSKS #not art #ask #long response #read more #i said dont give me podcast recommendations IMMEDIATELY someone sends me a rec lmao pls dont #tho if anyone wants to have me on their podcast hmu #i will literally be on anypodcast about anything #anything

Do you think it’s possible to learn about Archaeology and Museum Science from an hobbyist angle ?

Hello Anon! Sorry it took me a while to answer because honestly, I had to think about it a bit.

And I think the answer is a tentative ‘yes.’

(And just to be clear I answered this with the assumption this is something you want to enjoy in your free time, and not something you want to turn in to a career. If that’s the case, I’d be happy to give an answer more directed toward that.)

Hobbies are something you enjoy doing and if you enjoy learning about archaeology and museum science then by all means do so. That said these are tricky ‘hobbies’ to have, as a lot of research materials are often behind paywalls or take a few years before they are rendered into a form that the general public can easily digest, and by that, I mean: not so chocked full by academic language that even those in the field have a hard time going through the paper/book or whatever.

Archaeology, out of the two, will probably the easiest to find materials that anyone with a love of the subject can find. Museum Science/Museum Studies/Museology in general, isn’t as well known a field, and finding materials outside of an academic setting will probably be difficult. Not saying impossible, just hard.

Archaeology is chocked full of sub-disciplines: historical archaeology, pre-historic archaeology, near eastern archaeology, classical archaeology, just to name a few. So, depending on what interests you can influence how you go about learning. If you don’t know where to start, I recommend joining your local archaeology society chapter. These groups (if you are in the US) are usually affiliated with the American Institute of Archaeology, and usually host guest lecturers, give information on local digs and possible volunteer opportunities with them! There are also books of course (hit me up and I can recommend a few), and I recommend the Archaeology Podcast Network too, because they cover a lot of topics.

If you have the money and free time, some international excavations also allow volunteers to join as well as students who aren’t studying archaeology. This can be the expensive option compared to joining your neighborhood dig run by your local university, but it’s worth knowing about if it suits your interests more. For example, I was a supervisor on a dig in Israel and we had two volunteers, one was a retired Latin teacher and the other was the next-door neighbor of the director and worked for a pharmaceutical company. Both were fascinated by the archaeology of the time period and region we were excavating and loved learning on the job.

Museum Science, and Museology, in my experience, isn’t as well-known as field outside of academia. Museum Science as an academic field includes focusing on both the theory and hands on, in collection management, preventative conservation, administration, exhibits and interpretation and museum education.

First, I recommend you volunteer at your local museums, after COVID. Depending on what you’d like to learn about, you can volunteer in collections, education, exhibits, or maybe admin. I’d definitely recommend trying to volunteer regularly, if volunteering is something you’d think you’d enjoy. It is a sad truth that museum funding isn’t great, which means a lot of the time the museum is understaffed or the staff wear a lot of hats and are super busy, so volunteers who are consistent and good to work with are highly valued. There is usually no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do museum work in any of these areas, with very few exceptions, like conservation( which is very specialized) or handling very, very delicate objects for example.

Many museums are likely going to be affiliated with an association, such as AAM, ICOM, MPMA, which have great online resources. Some are free, some require membership, but if they are hosting a webinar or a podcast (Museopunks is one) I recommend watching/listening to the ones that might be interesting to the area you would want to learn about/volunteer in.

Some museums host behind-the-scenes tours, guest lectures, focusing on part of the collection. My last museum would regularly host a “Come and See” series with our textile collection hosted by the curator and it was a great way for the public to see some of our objects that were not out on display. So follow your museum’s social media pages to find out about these opportunities or sign up for their newsletters.

Some of these events might be just for that museum’s members, so it might be worth considering joining. There is usually an annual fee, but they almost always come with perks and discounts like at the museum café or at the gift shop, along with access to those museum member tours and lectures. Subscribing to Smithsonian Magazine or Museum magazine or your local museum magazine will let you get an inside peak into exhibits and operations, discussions that are going on in the field, while helping to support them. Consider joining a museum association and attending their annual conferences.

Even if you are more academic in your hobby, I still recommend volunteering, because in my experience learning the theory doesn’t make much sense until you are handling the objects.

So yes, I think you can learn about archaeology or museum science as a hobby. It probably would be a lot of work, and maybe a touch expensive, but there are plenty of other hobbies that are like that as well.

It's the fourth #TeaDay of the month which means it's podcast release day! . The Archaeology Podcast Network took a break in October but we're back with a vengeance and ready to journey back into the past and look at some fascinating objects. This month I chatted with archaeologist Valerio Gentile all about his area of expertise, swords ⚔️. Were bronze swords used in combat? How does one create a bronze sword? What is the only acceptable type of coffee to drink as an Italian? Find out the answers to these questions and more in this month's episode of Tea-break Time Travel, available today on all podcasting platforms (depending on the platform it might only be this afternoon). . I really hope that once I'm done with the PhD, I can start to release these episodes more regularly. They are so much fun to create, and I love being able to dive into more detail on objects from the past in conversation with people who know a lot more about them than I do. . If you haven't already, please do subscribe/like/follow/rate the podcast and share it with anyone you think would be interested. . And do let me know what you thought of the episode, and what further questions you have about ancient swords! . #TeabreakTimeTravel #TimeTravel #teabreak #swords #AncientSwords #prehistory #prehistoric #BronzeAge #archaeology #archaeologist #BronzeSwords #ArchaeologyLovers #MicrowearAnalysis #ArchaeologicalScience #ArchaeologistsOfInstagram #ArchaeologyPodcast #podcast #podcaster #NewEpisode https://www.instagram.com/p/ClQfA5IK83F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN ARCHAEOLOGY: GEORGE MCJUNKIN

Alright everyone, in honor of Juneteenth, I would like to tell you the story of Mr. George McJunkin, an African American Cowboy and archaeologist!

McJunkin was born into slavery on a ranch in Texas in 1851. His father worked on that same ranch as a blacksmith after he purchased his own freedom; and no sources online can seem to provide any information on his mother.

Growing up, McJunkin learned many skills as a ranch hand and he also frequently interacted with Mexican vaqueros (cowboys) who taught him how to handle horses.

On a night in 1867 he packed up some food, an extra pair of pants, took a mule from his master’s ranch, and set out to become a cowboy. McJunkin had many jobs as a horse and cattle wrangler as well as a manager of various ranches in both South and West Texas, Northeastern New Mexico, and in Northwestern Oklahoma.

It was during this time that he learned how to read and write from other cowboys; but he also picked up quite a bit on his own. He taught himself how to speak fluent Spanish, and how to play the fiddle. He was also very interested in science and history, and educated himself in archaeology.

In the early 1900s McJunkin was offered a job as the foreman on the Crowfoot Ranch near Folsom, New Mexico (yeah THAT Folsom, New Mexico my fellow Prehistoric North American archaeology nerds).

Then, on August 27th, 1908 Folsom was hit with a harsh and heavy rainstorm which ended up causing massive flooding. McJunkin and a friend Bill Gordon were surveying damage to fences along the Dry Cimarron River, and it was in the Wild Horse Arroyo that McJunkin noticed huge bones sitting in the newly exposed sediment.

McJunkin’s life experience allowed him to recognize these bones were not from any modern day cattle or buffalo species, and therefore were probably a significant archaeological discovery. He tried to get the scientific community interested in the site with no luck.

George McJunkin passed away in 1922 at the age of 71 without having known just how significant this discovery was going to be.*

While the realms of American anthropology and archaeology have made significant progress and improvements in the past 100 years (though they still have a long way to go), the disciplines during the early 1900s were inundated with racism and prejudice. Scientific authorities at the time were hard-set in their understanding that Indigenous prehistory only extended approximately 3,000 years B.P. (before the present). This relatively young date range helped to justify academic views at the time that Indigneous peoples were ‘savage’ and ‘uncivilized’, and therefore inferior white western culture.

Several months after McJunkin’s death in 1922 a team of amateur archaeologists ended up excavating the arroyo site and discovered more bones and associated projectile points (projectile point is the general term to refer to spear or arrow heads).

Then, in 1926 the director of the Colorado Museum of Natural History (now the Denver Museum of Nature and Science) J.D. Figgins was shown bones from the site and he proceeded with formal excavations in that same year.

The Folsom site is monumental for how it changed the way western academics understood North American prehistory. These excavations turned up approximately 30 individual skeletons from the extinct bison species Bison antiquus. This is a species that dates from 10,000 to 18,000 years ago.

In the following year, 1927, a skeleton was found with a spear point lodged in situ (in place/in context) between the bison’s ribs (what is known as a Folsom Point). This find meant that prehistoric people existed within the North American continent at least 11,000 years B.P.

Again, there is no way to overstate how significant this site is, and how frankly cool it is that a Black cowboy and former slave was the one to initially find it. Though, I would also like to note that The Denver Museum of Nature and Science does not mention George McJunkin and his association with the Folsom archaeology site that made them well-known; and if the information is present it is not easily accessible.

There are no doubt countless unsung brilliant anthropologists and archaeologists throughout American history, people who have made incredible contributions to these disciplines without ever knowing the true impact they would have.

George McJunkin is certainly one of these people, but as time goes on I am hopeful that his story and importance will be taught alongside all the big names in American anthropology, because his life is certainly one that deserves to be celebrated.

*Brief aside from the author: the word ‘discovery’ never really feels appropriate to me when discussing prehistoric Indigenous sites. I don’t know about anyone else, but to me the idea of ‘Discovering’ seems to imply that Indigenous people didn’t already know a site was there. I am sure many nations did/do know the location of important cultural sites but may not want to disturb them for various reasons. Anyway if you stuck through this mini-soapbox thank you, please continue on with your regularly scheduled reading.*
