This week, we share the live recording of TAS from the 10th anniversary celebration back in December. We deep dive the Gladiator movies and talk about what they got right and wrong in the movies about who gladiators were. We also look at how accurately (or not!) some of the real historical figures were portrayed in the movies.

TAS LIVE: Gladiator 2 Review - TAS 297

This month, Tilly and Ash need to figure out how to archaeologically investigate ancient tattoos, in order to help out the Hamunaptra Revitalisation Society. Luckily, they are joined by archaeological conservator and professional tattoo artist Rhoda Fromme. Listen in to hear the answer to your burning archaeology and tattoo questions: What are the different meanings of tattoos? Is archaeology just jousting and bagpipes? And what’s the big deal with dots and lines?

Rhoda Fromme and the Rooster of Pazyryk (Part 1) - Trowel 39

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, we explore the Plains Woodland Period and the vast networks that connected the Great Plains to the Midwest and Southeast. Focusing on the Kansas City Hopewell, we examine the evidence for long-distance exchange, ceremonial traditions, and social ties that linked Plains communities with broader cultural movements. We also discuss Late Woodland feasting events and their role in setting the stage for later interactions with Mississippian cultures. Join us as we uncover how these early connections shaped the cultural landscape of the Plains before the rise of the Mississippian world.

New Discoveries From Ancient Egypt - TPM 13

In this Episode, David discusses his recent travels to California and Connor’s visit to Nashville the week before.

David and Connor met up with Aaron Deter-Wolf of Archaeology Ink and Danny Riday of Totemic Tattoo in Nashville, who gave David and Connor hand-poked tattoos with bone and stone. David discusses the artistry, history, and process behind Danny’s work and his hand-poked tattoo, that is a memorial to his late dog, Strider.

David then discusses three Civil War era sites he and Connor toured in the Nashville area called the Carter House, Carnton Plantation, the Lotz House,  which all were part of the Battle of Franklin. This battle was a major part of the Civil War and the eventual collapse of the confederate army.

In Part 2, David will then discusses the Bellemeade Mansion and the Hermitage in Nashville, and how these powerful Southern families partook in the war.

But mainly, David speaks candidly about how these historic sites have evolved (and not evolved) in their ways of including the story Black Americans and those of the African Diaspora into the landscape of these histories.

The Cog That Turned - ADHD 09

Everyone’s favorite monolith must be the one from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but did you know that monoliths have been popping up across the world in mysterious and unexplained ways?  Taking this one step further, if you are guessing that “mysterious and unexplained” may be secret code words for “fake and easily explainable” then you my friend may be a master of secret codes!

PS - We have to do a bit on 2010: The Year We Make Contact because all monoliths must be covered for the sake of science.

Monolith: 2001, 2010, Today and Forever! - Pseudo 157

Join Fredrik as he digs into Graham Hancock’s latest claims on Ancient Apocalypse, season two, Chapter One. In this episode, skepticism and archaeology meet wild speculation as we explore:

 * White Sands Exposé: Discover how the striking gypsum dunes tell a well-documented geological and biological story—far from the global cataclysm Hancock claims.
 * Amazonian Earthworks: Journey to Acre, Brazil, where newly uncovered mounds and geoglyphs have challenged our historical ideas of the Amazon. But without any traveling white Atlanteans.
 * Science vs. Speculation: Learn why rigorous scientific inquiry and the process of peer review are crucial for testing extraordinary theories.
 * Critical Connections: Examine Hancock’s attempts to tie distant cultures together and why mainstream archaeology—and solid evidence—says otherwise.

Tune in for a concise, engaging look at ancient sites, alternative history claims, and why a skeptical mindset is the archaeologist’s best tool.
