Introduction to Archaeology Podcast Network
00:00:00
Speaker
You're listening to the Archaeology Podcast Network.
Introducing Sight Bites Podcast
00:00:14
Speaker
Welcome to the Sight Bites Podcast, operated by the Archaeology Podcast Network. I'm your host, Carlton Gover, and I'm a PhD candidate in anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder and citizen of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. Through my studies, I've gained a passion for science communication and public outreach.
Purpose and Scope of the Podcast
00:00:31
Speaker
You may be familiar with my other podcast, Life in Ruins, also hosted by the Archaeology Podcast Network.
00:00:37
Speaker
Even though my research is focused on Neolithic transformations in the US central plains, I am an avid consumer of historical and archaeological investigation. I firmly believe that archaeological research is made better by going beyond the boundaries of one's own studies and foci.
Format and Structure of the Show
00:00:54
Speaker
The Sight Bites podcast is an extension of that notion and desire to know more about our shared past. Each season of Sight Bites podcast will focus on one archaeological or ancestral location in its surrounding region.
00:01:07
Speaker
Each season will feature a co-host that is well versed in the archaeological knowledge of that locality to provide more dynamic dialogue between the hosts and our guests. Each episode will feature a prominent expert in the field pertaining to the investigated site.
Resources and Further Exploration
00:01:21
Speaker
We will go beyond simple and brief summaries of an archaeological location and dive into the complexities of the archaeological investigations and research that provide the basis for the interpretations of that site and its surrounding area.
00:01:35
Speaker
In each episode's description, you will find citations for relevant articles, books, book chapters, and popular media that relate to the investigated topic of each episode. If you find yourself wanting to learn more about a topic covered in an episode, these sources will provide a perfect springboard for you to explore the topic on your own in your free time, or even for you to cite on that term paper you pushed off to the last minute.
Contact Information and Engagement
00:01:58
Speaker
Also in the episode descriptions, you will find the contact information for myself, my future co-host, and our episode guest. SiteBites podcast does not have a website, email address, or social media presence, but you will be able to get in contact with us through the information we have provided in the episode description.
00:02:16
Speaker
If you have recommendations for archaeological sites that we should cover in an upcoming season, please email me with your recommendation at paniarcheologistatgmail.com.
Podcast Goals and Schedule
00:02:26
Speaker
That's P-A-W-N-E-E-A-R-C-H-A-E-O-L-O-G-I-S-T at gmail.com.
00:02:35
Speaker
The goal of this podcast is to dive into the past and present research of an archaeological landscape and provide dynamic conversations that breathe life into the complexities of archaeological research. All episodes of a season will be released all at once for you to binge in one sitting or listen to whenever you find the time.
00:02:53
Speaker
There's not a scheduled release for the upcoming seasons of this podcast. Seasons will be recorded as I find time through my dissertation research and writing.
Acknowledgments and Closing
00:03:02
Speaker
However, I hope you find season one Canyon of contention to not only be educational, but entertaining. I am site bites podcast host Carlton Gover. Enjoy the show.
