It’s spooky season here on the New Brunswick Archaeology podcast. We’re joined by Dr. Chris Wolff to talk about his research about fear as an important aspect of societies past and present. He’ll also give you a primer on the archaeology of Newfoundland and Labrador, share some of his recent work at Stock Cove, and discuss how the peopling of Newfoundland fits into a broader understanding of the colonization of North America. And there’s even some bonus content about nuclear fallout shelters and drums!

This fortnight we were joined by some of the UNB and Parks Canada team conducting bioarchaeological research at the (rapidly eroding) Fortress of Louisbourg in Cape Breton. Tune in to hear from Amy Scott, Mallory Moran, Kelsey Kane, Chris Burgess, Nicole Hughes, Taylor Corbett, and Nicole Breedon about mitigating 18th century cemeteries from the Fortress, and the cutting edge, we mean breaking news, uhhh….well anyway about broken bones, 18th century medical practice, and much more. Dr. Amy Scott and her research team will give an expanded presentation, “Skeletal Stories,” at the UNB-Fredericton’s Harriet Irving Library Wednesday, March 27 from 4-9:00.

This fortnight, the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast makes sure you don’t feel like you’re up a creek without a paddle. Your hosts, Ken and Gabe, talk about dugouts, birchbark canoes, skin boats, and portage routes in a 13000 year tour of what we know, and especially what we don’t, about watercraft. We also introduce our new producer, Emanuel Akel. Finally, we’d like to fondly remember Dick Doyle, friend and archaeologist extraordinaire.
