We enjoyed the last movie we watched from director Ken Russell so much that we decided to watch another: Altered States (1980) tells the story of a man who had to take years of hallucinogenic drugs and devolve into a monkey before he could say “I love you” to his wife. In this episode we talk drugs, primates, drugs, academia, drugs, evolution, and drugs.LinksDrugs, drugs, drugs!Watch Altered States (1980) for free on Internet ArchiveSawbones Podcast: Little People HallucinationsThe mysterious mushroom that makes you see tiny peopleStoned Ape TheoryLemurs getting high on millipedesMelissa Maffeo (2026) Science of the SupernaturalMutations link Autism, Schizophrenia: StudyCharles TartRobert OrnsteinArthur DeikmanJohn C.

Chris Aslan originally moved to Uzbekistan in the 1990s to write a tourist guide. Yet in his time there he worked with UNESCO to revive the dying art of silk carpet weaving, opening a workshop that is still running today. Host Jess Shaw explores with Chris his experiences of reviving an ancient craft, from experimenting with natural dyes to studying 15th century manuscripts to rediscover lost carpet designs. Chris then went on to found other craft workshops, and continues to revisit Central Asia, a place that has captured his heart. Chris is a writer, running tours and giving lectures about his varied experiences in Central Asia. He established an UNESCO workshop reviving silk carpet making in Khiva, Uzbekistan and wrote a book about his experiences called ‘A Carpet Ride to Khiva’. He has since written Únravelling the Silk Road’ about his later experiences working with Kyrgys Yak herders and working in the world's largest walnut forest, also in KyrgyzstanTranscriptsFor a rough transcript of the show head over to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/exarc/76ContactAll episodes of The EXARC ShowEXARC on InstagramARCHPODNETAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Alan continues his discussion with Dr. Robert Yohe about the archaeological record at the Rose Spring site and what it reveals about human activity in the Owens Valley. They examine how earlier interpretations of the site have been refined through additional excavations, radiocarbon dating, and new analyses of archaeological materials. Drawing on his own excavation experience and expertise in flintknapping, Yohe explains how closer analysis of artifacts can provide a more detailed picture of life at Rose Spring.TranscriptsFor a rough transcript head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/rockart/176ContactDr. Alan Garfinkelavram1952@yahoo.comDr. Alan Garfinkel’s WebsiteSupport Dr. Garfinkel on PatreonArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliates and SponsorsMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
