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.

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!

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.
