For this week's theme of "pseudoarchaeology," give your eyes a rest, sit back, and listen to some podcasts by some of the best speakers on this topic:
Listen to the first of two podcasts by Jeb Card on Pseudoarchaeology. If that one grabs you, here's the second.
At the Archaeological Fantasies podcast, listen to Jason Colavito talking about Ancient Aliens. In fact, the Archaeological Fantasies podcast is all about pseudoarchaeology, so you may want to check out the other titles there.
From the A Life in Ruins podcast, check out Gluten and Alien Free Archaeology: Combating Pseudoscience with Dr. David S. Anderson.
And one last podcast that is about an archaeological excavation at Roswell, famous for UFO conspiracy theories: Excavating Roswell (with Jeb Card)
If you're ready to look at the screen again, here are two video resources:
