ArchaeoChats Ep 5: Dr Yoshi Maezumi, University of Amsterdam
<p>In this episode, we talk with Dr. Yoshi Maezumi, a paleoecologist specializing in the legacy of human land use and fire management in modern ecosystems. She is a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Amsterdam and principal investigator of the Fire Intensity in Rainforest Ecotones (or FIRE) project which examines the role of fire in shaping Amazon rainforest-savanna ecotones. Dr. Maezumi’s research includes a multi-proxy toolkit, with her two main areas of focus being macro-charcoal and pollen analyses for the reconstruction of past human-environment interactions. Yoshi combines archaeology and paleoclimate data to tell the story of plant cultivation, domestication, and the spread of food production in tropical South America. In this video she will tell us about a few of her new projects that will take her out of the Amazon and into Africa, Australia, and North America.</p>

ArchaeoChats Ep 3: Dr. Julio Mercader, University of Calgary
<p>Dr. Julio Mercader is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology. His research interests concentrate on assessing the ancient environments, diet, subsistence, and technological developments that contributed to early human evolution through the integration of biological sciences, geological research, and physiochemical characterisation of archaeological materials. He collaborates with the Department of Archaeology on numerous projects, including “Global Markers of the Anthropocene,” in which he focuses on microbotanical evidence of anthropogenic landscape modification. Julio is also the Principal Investigator of the Stone Tools, Diet, & Sociality at the Dawn of Humanity project, which includes researchers from the Max Planck to investigate how changing paleoenvironmental conditions influenced hominid dietary behaviour and stone tool technology development and use at Oldupai Gorge in Tanzania. In this interview, he discusses his 20+ year research career across Africa, his contributions to archaeological science, and how he would like to see the fields of archaeology and paleoanthropology progress in the coming years.</p>
