We are back! All three cohosts return and start a new series of episodes on everyone's favorite topic: Archaeology Theory! Before we delve into the theory, we start off by talking about feedback we have received from listeners about how we can improve our podcast. After we address that, we take a deep dive into a history of North American archaeological/anthropological thought and practice. This podcast is a little heavy but worth your listen!
