Dirt After Dark: The Deane's List

This month, Amber keeps the home fires burning as Anna repped us in a special session on the pscourge of pseudoarchaeology at the SAA meeting. We deep dive into the work of Ashayana Deane to examine another group harmed by pseudoscientific beliefs: the believers themselves. We learn about ancient space bureaucracy, attempt to articulate the physics of a process that doesn’t exist, read a lot of extremely valid concerns and observations, and meet a little alien in a wig before encountering a much darker side of Deane’s work. In this episode we laugh, we cry, but we absolutely do NOT channel. Please know there are references to antisemitism throughout this episode, and our later conversation may be tough sensitive to discussion of ableism, trauma, and gender-based violence. Y’all be kind to yourselves and others <3

About your host

The Dirt Podcast

As science communicators in anthropology and archaeology, we hosts of The Dirt acknowledge that we hold a position of considerable privilege and opportunity, and commit ourselves to continuous learning, unlearning and reflection. We recognize that our disciplines, as well as our own lives, are rooted in and propped up by settler colonialism, white supremacy, and dispossession.

We now reside on the stolen ancestral territory of the Shawnee and Haudenosaunee and on the lands of the Muscogee and Cherokee Nations, but over its lifetime, The Dirt has also been produced on the unceded traditional territory of the Piscataway Conoy and Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians, as well as that of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Patwin and Miwok peoples and all those dispossessed by Cession 296. We offer our show as a platform for Indigenous scholarship, history, and cultural expression, through citation and conversation, and we welcome the opportunity to host and compensate Indigenous scholars of archaeology and anthropology as interview guests.

Likewise, we encourage all listeners who reside in settler-colonial states to learn about on whose land they reside, their place in the ongoing process of colonization, and how to contribute materially to reparations and Indigenous sovereignty.
