This fortnight Gabe and Ken talk to friend of the show, colleague, and dear fried, Trevor Charlemagne Dow (Ecofor Consulting/UNB). We discuss our recently released paper Backdirt and Bureaucracy Revisited: An Analysis of Research Trends in New Brunswick’s Archaeology Practice Using Historic Data. Worry not about the 2023 date on the paper, listeners, it's as fresh as a daisy and we're talking archaeobureaucrats, permits, and heritage legislation in New Brunswick. It's an all-hit piece NB Arch Pod this fortnight!

This fortnight we’re joined by Dr. Matt Betts, the Curator of Eastern Archaeology at the Canadian Museum of History and the former head of the Canadian Archaeology Association’s Climate Change Committee to talk about some of the climate threats to the terrestrial and underwater archaeological record. Matt discusses the analytical challenges and inequalities introduced by climate change’s effects on the archaeological record, and calls for a renewed commitment to culture history.

This fortnight, Gabe and Ken dial across one of the 4-OCEANS that make up the initiative Dr. Thomas Royle (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) joins us to talk about. We're getting into NISP and MNI, sharkaeology, and how big data can reveal the evolving palates of early Colonial period Virginians. Cast a line because there's no trout about it, if you've gadidae off this weekend, grab an ale, wife, and turn on the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast.
