This fortnight, we’re joined by Dr. Michael O’Rourke, the Climate Change Archaeologist for the Northwest Territories (NWT) government for our next instalment in our climate change series. Mike walks us through some of the unique climate change concerns facing NWT, and the innovative approaches he is involved with to address the crisis. Show NotesLipe, W. D. (1984).

This fortnight we’re bringing you an episode about a podcast. The HIS 399 class at the University of New England, under the tutelage of Eric Zuelow (historian) and Arthur Anderson (archaeologist), recently produced “Falling By The Wayside,” a documentary-style podcast about some buildings at the University of New England campus that were almost lost to history. Arthur and Eric, along with Peyton Stevens, Marissa Carter, and Kai Watkins will tell you about the process of producing the podcast, about the challenges and joys of merging archaeology with history, and a little bit about Biddeford at the turn of the 20th century. Tune in to hear about it, and then check out their podcast.Show Notes & Hit Piece:Falling by the Wayside Podcast: sites.une.edu/unepast/Dr. Eric Zuelow, Dr. Arthur Anderson, Marissa Carter, Peyton Stevens, Kai WatkinsCreditsSponsors: APANB, ULeth Faculty of Arts & ScienceProducer: Emanuel Akel LinkedIn

This fortnight we’ve got an all coastal erosion episode. Andrea Richardson, the Climate Change Adaptation Coordinator at the Cape Sable Historical Society, updates us about some of her work and plans for monitoring and managing coastal erosion in Nova Scotia. Katie DeWater and Arthur Anderson of the University of New England join us to discuss a recent paper led by Katie that used GIS, archaeological survey, and sea-level rise modeling to consider archaeological site vulnerability in the Quoddy Region. Spoiler alert: still have to visit the sites in person.

Happy New Year from the New Brunswick archaeology podcast! This fortnight, Ken and Gabe review a few of the year’s highlights in archaeology, with some digressions into the style, food, and beverage. Then they hand it over to the NB Arch Pod Producer, Emanuel Akel to provide you with some musical suggestions.

We have a phenomenal show this fortnight: an interview with the phenom of phenomenology himself, David Milley. Join us as David tells us about his work using various forms of imaging and GIS as a helpful counterbalance to phenomenological theories of landscapes. And it’s not just our theoretical comfort zones we’re stepping out of today, it’s our regional ones, too, because much of David’s work concerns the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Poverty Point.Show Notes:David Milley LinkedInhttps://www.povertypoint.us/Cummings, V., A.

This fortnight, we realized it had been a while since we, your faithful hosts, told you what we'd been up to. Turns out, it's just like riding a bicycle.

Apologies for the later than usual show, but we're back after a mid-season pause this fortnight-and-a-half and this one, listener, is a record breaking tight 31 minutes of content the likes the NB Archaeology Podcast has never seen. We touch base with Gabe while he's in New Hampshire and Ken is in New Brunswick, to recap the Eastern States Archeological Federation Annual Meeting at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. On this show, you’ll hear from Zac Singer (State of Maryland), Trevor Dow (UNB), Deirdre McGrath (UMaine), Nathaniel Kitchel (Salve Regina), Jon Alperstein (Dartmouth), Heather Rockwell (Salve Regina), and John Kelly (PAL). (Apologies to a few interviewees to whom Gabe should have held the mic closer—we’ll try again next meeting.) Thanks to everyone who participated and we'll be back with our regularly scheduled content next episode!Credits:Sponsors: APANB, ULeth Faculty of Arts & ScienceProducer: Emanuel Akel LinkedIn

This fortnight, we're back with a real Vaubanarama of a Great Site from the Maritimes, taking a trip across the Bay of Fundy thanks to a listener request. We're headed to Annapolis Royal and Port-Royal, no wait, Charles Fort, no wait, the fort at Port-Royal, no wait, Fort Anne! with Becki Dunham, Parks Canada Terrestrial Archaeologist. We talk about the Mi'kmaq presence in Annapolis River area, the various iterations of the fort, public archaeology at Fort Anne, and robotic lawnmowers. We also suggest opening the Mappanapolis splash for a visual queue to fully immerse yourself in this installment of the Great Sites series.Great Citations1702 Plan du fort du Port Royal à La Cadie [et] Cours de la Riviere du Dauphin, autrement dite le Port Royal http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/ulysse/notice?q=&coverage=Acadie&date=&from=&to=&type=Carte+ou+plan&mode=list&page=3&hpp=10&id=FR_ANOM_03DFC60B.

This fortnight, Ken and Gabe have a chat with Dimity Hammon, Vice President of the Tubac Historical Society--who, while in warmer settings of the southwest today, cut her teeth in the cooler (and at times inhospitably wet) climes of New Brunswick. We talk to Dimity about her thesis work on the Holt's Point site and the famous engraved pebbles, the early days of archaeology at UNB, The Computer, and a dolphin out-of-water in the Passamaquoddy Bay. Not to mention, some Historic archaeology from the southwest! Show Notes:Hammon, D. J. 1984 A Ceramic Period Coastal Adaptation at Holt’s Point, New Brunswick.
