Ken just got back from the 88th annual Society for American Archaeology meeting in Portland, Oregon. Gabe and Ken talk about conferences in general, and describe SAA meetings. Ken gives a brief rundown of the paper he presented this year. For a special treat we also have a series of mini-interviews from some of our colleagues who were at the SAA (beginning at about 51 minutes in).Show notes:SAA Annual Meeting: https://www.saa.org/annual-meetingSAA Meeting Safety: https://www.saa.org/annual-meeting/meeting-policies/Meeting-Safety-PolicyBranden Rizzuto: https://www.anthropology.utoronto.ca/people/directories/all-faculty/branden-rizzutoTiziana Gallo: https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=0B7l1rwAAAAJ&hl=enTrevor Lamb: https://www.bu.edu/anthrop/profile/trevor-lamb/Patrick Jolicoeur: https://www.anthropology.utoronto.ca/people/directories/postdoctoral-fellows/patrick-jolicoeurChris Wolff: https://www.albany.edu/anthropology/faculty/christopher-wolffNortheast Anthropology: https://www.albany.edu/northeast_anthropology/

This week, Ken and Gabe discuss the Late Maritime Archaic (ca. 5500-3500 years ago). Please note that we discuss burials in this episode. We update perceptions of the “Red Paint People” and argue for cultural continuity across the Far Northeast and talk about sociocultural complexity among hunter-gatherers.

Welcome to the first special episode of the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast! This week we were joined by Dr. Bill Farley, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Southern Connecticut State University to discuss publishing in archaeology. We talk about why archaeologists publish, what the process of publishing involves, and offer some advice for students or early career folks looking to publish their research. Bill has published in a number of journals, and is the editor of Northeast Historical Archaeology. He also is active in using videogames to teach about archaeology, so check out his YouTube channel @archaeologytube, or find him on twitter @ArchaeologyGame.Time Stamps6:08 Why publish? 9:55 What is peer-review? 19:10 What is a good source? 29:36 - Conferences 34:19 The publication lifecycle 41:04 What makes a good peer-reviewer? 49:55 Grey literature 56:25 Choosing where to publish 67:00 Follow the red thread 75:11 What is an author? 84:57 Collaborate! 94:43 Ethics in publishingBill’s Faculty Page at SCSU: https://www.southernct.edu/directory/farleyw1Bill’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07CjzGSWgY5lAdWZd_AmbwSome papers we discussed:Fable, John M., William A.

In this episode, Ken and Gabe talk about the period between about 9500 and 5000 years ago, and the hiatus that wasn’t. Like the Archaic, we try to go deep on this program, but unlike the Early Archaic, we try to be high visibility. If you enjoy the show, we’d love if you told a friend about it. And don’t touch that dial: we’ve got some special programming as well as our usual fortnightly programming headed your way.

In this episode, Gabe and Ken talk about the first archaeologically known people in New Brunswick: the Palaeoindians. We begin with a continental approach to the big three temporal divisions–Clovis, Folsom, and Plano–then narrow our discussion down the New England-Maritimes Region. We wrap with a discussion of Palaeoindian archaeology in New Brunswick. See you in a couple weeks for the start of the Archaic period.

In Ep2 of the NB Archaeology Podcast, Ken and Gabe discuss the history of archaeological research in New Brunswick, beginning with Pagan and Wright’s 1797 survey of St. Croix Island and extending to contemporary legislation. In two weeks we’ll talk about the Palaeoindian period. Talk to you then.

In this episode of the NB Archaeology Podcast, Gabe and Ken introduce themselves, their research, New Brunswick in regional archaeological context, and talk a little bit about Palaeoindians (pre-Clovis and Clovis-like), red chert, housefloors, big themes in New Brunswick archaeology, and this week's Hit Pieces.Show Notes:Recommended introduction music:“Canada Vignettes: Log Driver’s Waltz” at NFB https://www.nfb.ca/film/log_drivers_waltz/“Diggin’ a Hole” by Big Sugar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U6aNnMqmgcGabe’s faculty page at the University of New Brunswick: https://www.unb.ca/faculty-staff/directory/arts-fr-anthropology/hrynick-gabriel.htmlKen’s faculty page at the University of Lethbridge: https://kenholyoke.academia.edu/Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast, by Matt Betts and Gabe (U of T Press 2021).The Far Northeast: 3000 BP to Contact, edited by Gabe and Ken (Canadian Museum of History/University of Ottawa Press, 2022).Holyoke, Blair, and Shaw’s (2020) paper on heat treating and colour: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaa.2020.101229Brian Robinson on pre-Clovis: Robinson, Brian S. 2012.
