1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve Camray. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff Mom never told you? 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: From House stuff Works dot Com. Hello, and welcome to 4 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Caroline and I'm Kristen. Today we're talking 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: about a topic that is very near and dear to 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: my heart, which is archaeology. I am a big geek 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: and I did not know this about you. Yeah, well, 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: you learn all sorts of things about me. I read 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: romance novels. I wanted to be an archaeologist, and it's 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: it's all because of Indiana Jones. Let's be honest. Yeah 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: it was. Yeah. As a kid, I watched a Temple 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: of Doom. I know it's not everybody's favorite, get over it. 13 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: I watched Temple of Doom over and over and over again, 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: and I was like, how well I knew when to 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: cover my eyes when he ripped the guy's heart out 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: and when they're crawling through that roach cave. Yeah, well, 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'm afraid of bugs. I don't know if 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: it's because of that the coach cave, but yeah, I 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: was convinced that I was going to be an archaeologist. 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: And I was convinced of this up and through up 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: until my freshman year of college, and I took an 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: anthropology class. You know, I went to college is as 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: an undecided like many like many kids do. Quick question, 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: did you wear a lot of khaki in these days? 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: I didn't shoot shoot Now I wear camo instead. No. 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: I I took an anthropology class. I was determined that 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: I was going to become an archaeologist, and I was all. 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: I was with it when you learned about monkeys, and 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: I was. I was there. And then we got to 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: the archaeology section and I fell asleep every day in class. Oh, 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: it just wasn't as interesting. And I guess once you 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: find out all the nitty gritty details behind, like your 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: dream job, it might not seem as appealing. And your 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: professor did not look like Harrison Ford. No, shockingly no, 35 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: and neither did my t A. But I can tell 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: you the difference between a boy monkey head and a 37 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: girl monkey head. So there's that. Okay, Yeah, that's all 38 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: I got though. Well, now you know even more about archaeology, though, Caroline, 39 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: because you have dug up yep, you dug up a 40 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: history of women in archaeology. Yeah, and if I had 41 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: become an archaeologist, I would have been a rare breed, 42 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: part of a rare breed. Indeed, and books on women 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: in archaeology are also rare, and we are pulling from 44 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: three primary books. Uh, this one isn't so much article based, 45 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: but more based on books. Let's go ahead and tossed 46 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: out the three books that we are going to be 47 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: discussing today, first of which would be Ladies of the Field, 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Early Women Archaeologists and their Search for Adventure by Amanda Adams. 49 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Then we have Excavating Women, a history of women in 50 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: European archaeology, and the third is Women in Archaeology by 51 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: Cheryl Classen. She writes the intro was sort of a 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: big group of essays about famous lady archaeologists. So right 53 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: off the bat, we can go ahead and tell you 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: that women do not have a very strong presence in archaeology. 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: Maybe perhaps because of an Indiana Jones effect. Maybe not sure. 56 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. He was handsome, he was, I was 57 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: ready to go hang out with him. But even though 58 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: women comprise a small percentage of archaeologists, they have been 59 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: digging up all those artifacts since it was first created 60 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: as a discipline in the nineteenth century. Yeah, and really 61 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: you can think of of anybody men or women who 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: were part of the field during the nineteenth century as pioneers. 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: And one woman who who comes to mind is Joanna 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: Mestor if she's German, who despite not being able to 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: go to university in Germany, built an academic career on 66 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: self study and she actually became the first female museum 67 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: director in Germany in one And it was a lot 68 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: of women like this who might not have had a 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: formal education at first, who taught themselves all they needed 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: to know, or they worked alongside their husbands or fathers 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: to find out everything there was in the field. Yeah, 72 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't uncommon for a woman like Messdorff to not 73 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: have a college education because women being permitted to university 74 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: lectures really wasn't formally permitted in places like Great Britain Norway. 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: In Denmark until the eighteen seventies. Cambridge, for instance, granted 76 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: women full membership in nineteen but it had established an 77 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: all female college in the meantime um But at the 78 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: same time, upper class educated women especially were still taught 79 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Latin and Greek, which ties in a lot with the 80 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: interest in archaeology. Italy had become a popular destination site 81 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: as the you know, the seat of the home of 82 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: the classics um and then there was also this rise 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: in um an interest in Egyptology in the nineteenth century 84 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, granted, a lot of the the excavations 85 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: and expeditions that were going on in Egypt were kind 86 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: of looting, but there was still an interest, even if 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: it was in stealing gold. But after World War One, 88 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: more women started going to college. More women also started 89 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: entering the field of archaeology, but a lot of them 90 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: were going about it a different way than men were. 91 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: Instead of going on digs and leading these projects, a 92 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: lot of women were getting into the field through museum 93 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: work and research, which we shouldn't. I mean, that's not 94 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: a bad thing. They contributed quite a bit, but they're 95 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: just they had to sort of go about it in 96 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: more of an indirect way. Yeah, I thought it was interesting. 97 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: There was a quote from this coming from nineteen thirty 98 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: three saying that I think this was from a male 99 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: museum curator saying that women are specially suited to museum 100 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: work by their love of the beautiful, their adaptability, and 101 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: their patients In detailed work, so academia, the more academic 102 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: side of archaeology, and actually going on those digs more 103 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: closed off. But women were come to the museum, handled 104 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: this pottery and jewelry. You like findings there, something sparkling, 105 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: you have soft hands. Yeah. Talk about but Cheryl class 106 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: and who we mentioned at the beginning, looks at archaeology 107 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: through the lens of gender, and she talks about how 108 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: really until the sixties, upper class educated white women were 109 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: sort of repelled from the field, particularly going out on 110 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: digs and whatnot. And in the US in the nineteen thirties, 111 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: she says that there was a class and race based 112 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: definition of femininity that limited women's involvement in the field. 113 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: And during this time, while more women were getting involved 114 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: in archaeology digs, things like that, it was sort of limited, 115 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: particularly in the US two more unskilled labor. Yeah, and 116 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: often that was had racist undertones to it because it 117 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: was really only open to black women. I didn't know 118 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: this um excavation came to be considered appropriate work for 119 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: unemployed women, especially women of color, in new deal projects 120 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: in the nineteen thirties and the nineteen forties. So there 121 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: was this issue of femininity. But only if you're an 122 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: upper class white woman. If you're a lower class woman, 123 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: black or white, it's all right if you get your 124 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: hands throw out in the fields. The attitude uh now 125 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: class and says women constitute still a very small percent. 126 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: In the nineties, She said that only of the archaeologists 127 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: in the top thirty academic departments were women, and many 128 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: work in small contract companies or have only research affiliations 129 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: with departments and museums. Basically, this means that women end 130 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: up having few role models of their same gender, and 131 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: that leads to poor networks essentially. And this reflects a 132 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: lot from the conversations that we've had about women in 133 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: sciences and the STEM courses science, technology, engineering, and math. 134 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: We see that reflected um in archaeology as well. And 135 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: this is coming from a two thousand eleven article on 136 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: Biblical archaeology dot org. Jenny Ebling, an associate professor of 137 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: archaeology at the University of Evansville in Indiana, pointed out 138 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: that in the Big Bolical Archaeology Reviews, which Caroline, I'm 139 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: sure you have a subscription to that iolutely in their 140 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven list of big opportunities in Israel naturally 141 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: because it's biblical archaeology. Only two of the twenty two 142 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: excavations were either directed or co directed by women, and 143 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: she also found that fewer than a third of the 144 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: licenses granted by the Israel Antiquities Authority of two thousand 145 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: eleven were issued to female archaeologists, and she's not entirely 146 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: sure why, but as comes up so often in this podcast, 147 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: there is a significant gender gap. There is and classen 148 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: like we mentioned, who looks at archaeology not necessarily from 149 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: just being a science field, and looks at it as 150 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: a gender sort of it, the whole gendered aspect of it, 151 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: and women's involvement. She says that homophobia is a part 152 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: of why women have not been involved, and there was 153 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: this whole issue of, like we said, femininity, traditional femininity, 154 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: and that if you are a woman who only wanted 155 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: to pursue education, but wanted to pursue a quote unquote 156 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: athletic pursuit like archaeology, you were non feminine. You were 157 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: a non woman, And so there was this whole idea 158 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: that connected uh feminist, the feminist movement or feminism to lesbianism, 159 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: and so you were just this total odd ball if 160 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: you wanted to participate in something that was dirty and outside. Well, 161 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: and this is coming from this. Nineteen o four, a 162 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: director of Denmark's National Museum said, the work of the 163 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: monuments of our fatherland is, according to its nature, men's work, 164 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: and it demands the exercise of physical strength and stamina, 165 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: which cannot be expected to be found amongst women. It's 166 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: that outdoor labor that's involved with um, the digging, which 167 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: is maybe why still you know, we don't see a 168 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: lot of female dig directors. But we are in the laboratories. 169 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: I was about to say laboratory. We are in the laboratories. Uh. 170 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: In the museum's working with pottery, textiles, jewelry and more 171 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: special lies um fields. Right. And one one person who 172 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: still makes people angry is Harvard professor Edward H. Clark, 173 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: who was working in the mid to late eighteen hundreds 174 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: women watch your ovaries. He said that mental activity interfered 175 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,239 Speaker 1: with ovulation, so women should focus on their reproductive abilities. 176 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: The education of women creates a class of sexless humans. 177 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it upsets the whole system. If you're 178 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: not a manly man or a girly girl, we don't 179 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: know what you are. Well, I think that we can 180 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: say that since Edward old Ed was saying this in 181 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: the mid to late eighteen hundreds, I think women, modern 182 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: women have proven him wrong. We are still producing women 183 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: having sexual intercourse and careers. It's incredible. And we go outside. Yes, 184 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: sometimes um and glass In talks about archaeology and how 185 00:10:50,920 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: it combines athleticism and intelligence, those two traditionally male gendered characteristics. Yeah, 186 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: which ended up dissuading some women from pursuing it. I mean, 187 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: there could have been some women out there who thought 188 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: going to Egypt and digging up a treasure trove, that 189 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: sounds really interesting, But I better stay home and just 190 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: do my knitting or think about. I mean, the the 191 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: cultural icon of archaeology that we have is Indiana Jones. 192 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying anything against Indiana Jones films. I 193 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: love them. I love them as a child. I will 194 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: watch them still today. But nevertheless, you know, it does 195 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: have that, you know, maybe the connotation of archaeology as 196 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: this masculine field where the women are just gorgeous vixens 197 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: and you know, well dressed curators exactly delicate things floating 198 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: through museums and my goodness. And there's nothing wrong with 199 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: the well dressed curator either. Absolutely not UM, But I 200 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: want to talk about some of our archaeology all stars, 201 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: these women who really paved the way for other women 202 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: to get involved in the field. I'm also imagining, like 203 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, in in your college freshman dorm room, you 204 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: had lists of these women no no bands, or like 205 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: you know John Belushina's college T shirt, you had a 206 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: poster of let's say, Amelia Edwards, the godmother of Egyptology, 207 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: who was quite a gal. Yeah, she she was around 208 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: from eighteen thirty one to nineteen eighteen. Uh. Edwards was 209 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: definitely an independent woman thanks to no one will ever 210 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: say this again in modern history. She was independent and 211 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: financially secure thanks to her career as a journalist. That 212 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: would never apply anymore anyway. She was homeschooled from a 213 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: young age by a mother who avoided teaching her housework. 214 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: Her mother had it seemed like her mother had other 215 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: plans for her. She also never married, UM and one 216 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: of her great loves was Marian North, the botanical artist 217 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: for those of you out there familiar with her work. UM, 218 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: and she was also had a long term relationship with 219 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: Lucy Renshaw identified only as l in Edwards journal UM 220 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: and who accompanied her on some of her Middle East 221 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: travels and UM she come in eighteen seventy three to 222 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: Alexandria and became an expert on local archaeology and helped 223 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: found the Egypt Exploration Fund in eighteen eighty two. Edwards 224 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: is really credited during this time that she helped found 225 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: this group UM of making archaeology accessible to the common person. 226 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: She always encouraged her students to write about archaeology in 227 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: a way that was accessible to other people, and so 228 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: her work for the fund involved raising money, writing articles, 229 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: and lecturing, and she ended up receiving honorary degrees from 230 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: Columbia University, Smith College, and the College of the Sisters 231 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: of Bethany. So clearly people out there were like, oh, well, 232 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: I guess she's smart, even though she's a girl. I 233 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: guess we'll give her the stuff whatever. Whatever. Another notable 234 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: lady we should talk about, UM who teams up with 235 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: her husband in this case um Jane dou Lafoy. She 236 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: became known for her cross dressing so that she could 237 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: fight in the Franco Prussian War of eighteen seventy and 238 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: she and her husband Marcel wanted to obviously after the 239 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: war ended, they wanted to reach the legendary site of Susa, 240 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: east of the Tigris River and home to an ancient city, 241 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: and hundreds of people flocked to help them excavate this site. Yeah, 242 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: Do Lafoy is really interesting. There's a picture of her 243 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: in in the book Ladies of the Field, and she's 244 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: kind of turned to the side in profile. She has 245 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: her hair chopped off, she's wearing men's clothing, and she 246 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: she has a striking resemblance. Might I say to one 247 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: young uh Dustin Hoffman? Really yeah, but um yeah, she 248 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: and her husband went trapsing around the Middle East. Uh, 249 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: they loved it. She she really was dedicated to the 250 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: whole idea of and covering this city in Susa. And 251 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: they did. They found a lot. They found like fifty 252 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: four boxes worth, big large crates, not just boxes worth 253 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: of stuff that they ended up taking back with them 254 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: to France. And she she was no shrinking violet. She 255 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: wasn't just sitting back, you know, being fanned with palm fronds. Now, 256 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: she was overseeing the dig. She had people reporting to 257 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: her aunt. She oversaw every painstaking detail of excavating. Basically, 258 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: they were enameled bricks that were part of giant freezes 259 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: in the Palace of Darius, which was quite a big find. 260 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: And just to point out what a celebrity she became 261 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: at the time, um After coming back Stateside, the New 262 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: York Times reported that she received the authorization of the 263 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: government to appear in public in costume because she was 264 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: so well known at this point. For her what would 265 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: be considered cross dressing, which really today would probably just 266 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: be like wearing slacks in a shirt, right exactly. Yeah, 267 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: and the the it would just look like Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, 268 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: young Dustin Hoffman. Um. But they point out that the 269 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: privilege of being able to wear men's clothing around in 270 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: the streets was normally reserved for the mentally ill or handy, 271 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: so this was a high honor. So it was a 272 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: high honor. And she she was pretty fashionable too. It's 273 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: not like she just wore any old pants. So so 274 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: in exchange for her doing things such as, oh, I 275 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: don't know, unearthing the Palace of Darius, people were like, well, uh, 276 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: you can wear pants. How about that? How about that? 277 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: Congratulations pants? Yeah. Well it's funny because that actually her 278 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: wearing men's clothing was not just about traveling easier, It 279 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: was about safety because a lot of the places that 280 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: she traveled in the Middle East she would not have 281 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: been able to pass through safely as a woman. And 282 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: and she even had to shave her head at one 283 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: point because the lights got so bad. Yeah, so they 284 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: got to somewhere were they They got to some palace 285 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: and the ruler was like, no, you're not a woman. 286 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: I don't She had a shaved head, was wearing pants. 287 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: He wouldn't believe her. Well, what about Kathleen Kenyon, what 288 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: can you tell me about her? Well, Kathleen Kenyon is 289 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: very famous. She actually and start out with any interest, 290 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: in particular in archaeology. Her interest was sparked when she 291 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: joined Gertrude Kayton Thompson on the nine All Women Excavation 292 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: of Great Zimbabwe as a photographer, and she went on 293 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: to work at Roman Britain's third largest city, vrule Meum, 294 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: vrule Meum. It's one of yes with with Sir Mortimer Wheeler, 295 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: and together they developed the Wheeler Kenyon method, which still 296 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: influences excavation methods, and it had to do with stratigraphic analysis. 297 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: Instead of just digging any old place, you would pay 298 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: attention to the strata of the dirt, the layers of 299 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: vertical layers of the dirt. Well done. And just for 300 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: a few examples of some things that she dug up, 301 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: perhaps using that very Wheeler Kenyan method. Just before World 302 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: War Two, she excavated the Jewelry Wall at Lester, whose 303 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: public baths are a rare example of civil Roman architecture. 304 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: And she was also the first acting director of the 305 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: Institute of Archaeology of the University College of London, founded 306 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty seven to provide instruction in proper excavation techniques. 307 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: And what Kenyan is possibly the most famous for is 308 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: her excavation of the ancient city of Jericho, which she 309 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: uncovered the first walled city full with houses and courtyards 310 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: dating back to the Neolithic era. So this was a 311 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: huge fine because one area they found it was like 312 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: this huge staircase along the wall. It made me think 313 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: of Monty pythons for the life of Brian, that whole thing. Anyway, 314 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: it's older than some of the pyramids, so yeah, good job. 315 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: Kathleen Kenyon. Another woman that we have to talk about 316 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: is Hannah Marie Wormington. She was around from nineteen fourteen 317 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: to nineteen She was the first woman admitted to the 318 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: Department of Anthropology at Harvard who also graduated technically. She 319 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: was the second woman admitted overall, but she was admitted 320 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: to Harvard in nineteen thirty seven and received her pH 321 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: d in nineteen fifty for and according to her obituary 322 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: in the New York Times, Warmington's was an expert on 323 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: the Paleo Indian period and she was affiliated with the 324 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: Denver Museum of Natural History for nearly sixty year of 325 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: and to around out this uh this list of notable 326 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: female archaeologists, we have Lithuanian Maria Gim Buddhists whose focus 327 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: was on Indo European studies in the Bronze and Neolithic periods. 328 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: And she was notable because of the way that she 329 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: brought together linguistic and archaeological knowledge right and this she 330 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: took her study of basically in her in her biography 331 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: they talk about how it's sort of inappropriate for archaeologists 332 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: to get too deep into people's culture, maybe to assume 333 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: too much about their religion and whatnot, but she kept 334 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: finding all of those goddess figures, you know, the round 335 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: women or whatever. And she she basically developed this, this 336 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: theory of the goddess, and she saw the email form 337 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: rendered in thousands of images and said that it reflected 338 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: the centrality of women in religious and cultural life. Basically 339 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: said like, look, all these people were worshiping women. And 340 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: not only was her theory a big deal, and her 341 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: two books on the goddess were a big deal, but 342 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: her whole theory became such a huge deal to feminists 343 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: and women and environmentalists and nature worshipers and uh, the 344 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: primordial deity for a Paleolithic and Neolithic ancestors in her biography, 345 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: says was female, reflecting the sovereignty of motherhood. And I 346 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: can imagine, I mean, if she's coming out with this 347 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: in the mid twentieth century, it probably was a pretty 348 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: revolutionary idea for people who probably conceptualized a lot of 349 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: times we conceptualized in the Western world, at least in 350 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: Judeo Christianity conceptualizes uh, you know, gods as masculine. So 351 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: that was probably pretty groundbreaking at the time. Um. And 352 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: one final name who will be much more familiar probable 353 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: way to listeners is She was not an archaeologist, but 354 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: archaeology was highly influential for her because her husband, Um, 355 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: was an archaeologist in the Middle East. Agatha Christie, the 356 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: famous mystery writer. She spent thirty years assisting her husband's 357 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: work in the Middle East, UM, and she would write 358 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: her books in between. And hence you have archaeology themed 359 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile Goath. 360 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: So those are some names that I bet a lot 361 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: of listeners haven't heard from. And I really, really really 362 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: hope that we have some archaeologists out there listening. And Um, 363 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: if it's male archaeologist, you have women working with you, 364 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: women in the field, what's it like? Very curious to know, 365 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: because I feel like we, you know, we don't really 366 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: talk about archaeology all that much. I mean, we'll hear 367 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: about King tut every now and then. But this idea 368 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: of you know, figuring out how the discipline even came 369 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: to be and women's role in it is a pretty 370 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: interesting stuff. Yeah, exactly. So I'm glad that you wanted 371 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: to be one as a child so that I could 372 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: learn more. And I just wanted one final thing about 373 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: my freshman year experience. So I so badly wanted to 374 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: do this. I thought it was going to be so cool, 375 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: and I remember telling my my slightly stuck up roommate 376 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: about it, and she was like, I mean, what is 377 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: possibly left to find? I I just want everyone to 378 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: let that soak in. She actually said what is left 379 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: to find? And so every time I see something on 380 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: the news about something being discovered somewhere, I think of her. 381 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: You know what you should have said, there's space, space archaeology, excavation, 382 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: moon castles. So now that you're thinking about moon castles, 383 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: send us your thoughts. Mom Stuff at Discovery dot com 384 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: is where you can send your letters. You can also 385 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: head over to Facebook or tweet us at Mom's Stuff podcast. 386 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: And in the meantime, got a couple of letters here 387 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: for you. We've got one from Zoe and this is 388 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: in response to our episode on prom. Zoe writes, I'm 389 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: still in high school and have not yet experienced the prom, 390 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: although in my school it's just called grad. I live 391 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: in a very rural community in Canada, and most of 392 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: the people at school are redneck farm kids. From what 393 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: I gather, our graduation banquet is going to be a 394 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: campfire barbecue in the woods somewhere, and the dance will 395 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: probably end up at the rodeo grounds. One of my 396 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: friends was actually looking up camouflage print dresses. Another great 397 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: plan that I've heard from the two boys in my 398 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: classes that they're going to wear car heart farm clothes 399 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: and show up in a grain struck or a tractor, 400 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: which I think is way cooler than a stretch hummer. 401 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: Limo and Zoe, I do agree with that. I find 402 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: it really annoying how prov is marketed to teams through movies, 403 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: TV and team romance novels, where it's blasphemy to make 404 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: light of the prom. You can easily tell that it 405 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: is really affected team culture. By the way the majority 406 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: of the girls in my class object to these ideas, 407 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: they obviously spect prom to be the super romantic, extravagant 408 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: event that they have seen and read about. I personally 409 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: think that I'm going to side with the boys, don't 410 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: take it so seriously, and just to have some fun 411 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: while it lasts. And this is from Don about our 412 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: episode on having the Talk with your kids. She said 413 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: that she listened intently to that episode because I have 414 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: a nine year old son who will soon be ready 415 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: to know the truth about how babies are made. He 416 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: is known for a while that moms have an egg 417 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: and deaths have a seed, which come together to make 418 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: a baby. When he was seven, he said, yes, I 419 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: know that, but how did the transfer take place? He's 420 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: very detail oriented. We told him he'd have to wait 421 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: until he was older to find out the answer. There's 422 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: some wonderful books I'd like to recommend to listeners, which 423 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: I learned about in library school. Robbie Harris has several 424 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: books that explain things to kids in a clear way, 425 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: with lots of great illustrations and humorous discussion between a 426 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: bird and a bee that lighten things up. It's not 427 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: the stork is for younger kids. It's so amazing is 428 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: for kids in the upper elementary grades, and it's perfect 429 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: normal is for middle school age kids. I have them 430 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: in my closet, ready to go when the time comes, 431 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: and good to hear that she is prepped, prepped for 432 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: the talk, and good luck with that talk with the 433 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: time comes again.
