The New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast

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.

This fortnight we’re joined by Dr. Mary McCarthy-Brandt to discuss New Brunswick’s segregated cemeteries, and her work with “REACH in New Brunswick” to locate, document, and preserve Black cemeteries in New Brunswick. She also shares some information about forthcoming publications and an art exhibit about that work.

This fortnight we’re chatting about Ken’s field trip back east! So tune in to hear us interview Mi’kmaq basket weaver and expert oyster harvester, Katrina Sock, and Sharon Cunningham of the Saint John River Society. You can also listen live while we learn that multiple summers of CRM did not result in Route 11 being fully twinned.

Welcome to Season 3 Listeners!! Ken and Gabe are both in New Brunswick this fortnight, and although they’ve stepped into place they’ve stepped out of time again. They’re joined this episode by Margarita de Guzman, the Managing Director and CEO of Circle CRM and the founding director of The Fair Field Foundation. We discuss The Fair Field Foundation’s initiatives around bolstering women in archaeology through mentorship and advocacy, and some of the issues faced by female archaeologists. We also chat about the state of CRM and a public archaeology program in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

This fortnight, we’re putting on our best Boston accent and becoming the New Brunswick Auk-aeology Podcast. That’s right, listener, all good things must come to an end. Like Season 2 of the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast and the Great Auk. There's no cliffhangers here, we're not even burying the lede, but we’re joined for our season finale by Lucia Snyderman, who is researching the Great Auk and its extinction using data from archaeological contexts in the Far Northeast and further afield. The Great Auk couldn’t soar, but this topic does, and if you listen closely, you might even hear its dulcet tones echoing through your earphones. We’ll be back soon with Season III!Thanks to you, listeners, to Emanuel, and to APANB and ULeth SSHRC Exchange for sponsorship.Show Notes:Lucia Snyderman: ResearchGate and LinkedInGarefowl: garefowl.co.uk/music Lucia Snyderman, “Bone, Skin, and story: Fragments of Great Auk Extinction. https://science4sustainability.wordpress.com/2024/03/04/bone-skin-and-story-fragments-of-great-auk-extinction/Recreated great auk sound: https://www.thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/p=14851Thomas et. al. 2019.

This fortnight (with proper audio now), Gabe is still in tiki gear two weeks later and Ken is still freezing despite the current heat wave and we're joined by Dr. Emma Yasui, the multi-talented archaeobotanist, podcaster, cultural consultant, and gaming guru. On our way through a conversation covering everything from representation in ttRPGs to Japanese kitchen gardens, Gabe learns about discord and how an RPG works, and Ken reminisces about his pals on subaruforester.com. If you're interested in Jomon and Nikkei archaeology, or wondering what to cook with your yamaimo, this is the episode you've been waiting for!Show NotesFind Emma on LinkedIn and Twitter/X @starchaeologist • How fuki still grows at a former imprisonment camp in BC • Tonari Gumi cookbooks (on kitchen gardens) • Nikkei in Canada • Nikkei archaeology in Canada (Bob Muckle) • Asians Represent! https://aznsrepresent.carrd.co/# (link to join the discord server is under “contact”) • Some of Emma's consulting work: https://www.kidstablebg.com/makimasterHodgetts, L., Supernant, K., Lyons, N., & Welch, J.

This fortnight, the Northeast is engulfed in a heat wave and Alberta has returned to periglacial conditions. Gabe is therefore on assignment poolside while Ken stokes the fire and says a prayer for his tomatillos. Whether you’re in a daiquiri or a hot toddy setting today, get ready to change latitude and change attitude as the NB Archaeology Podcast goes south of the border. In the latest installment of our Great Sites series, we’re joined by Arthur Anderson of the University of New England to tell us all about Maine site 5.06 or the village of Chouacoët. 5.06 is the so-called village described by Champlain in 1605, but Arthur’s recent work there suggests some 2000 years of Indigenous occupation at the site, and complicates archaeological understanding about what a village should look like.
