The Missing Dead: Archaeological Evidence of Smallpox Epidemics with Dr. Alex Garcia-Putnam and Dr. Tomas Snyder - Plains 50
What can archaeology tell us about the devastating smallpox epidemics that affected Indigenous communities across the Americas following European colonization? In this episode of the Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton Shield Chief Gover is joined by Dr. Alex-Garcia Putnam and Dr. Thomas J. Snyder to explore the archaeological evidence for historic smallpox epidemics.They begin by discussing smallpox, its impact on Indigenous populations, and what archaeologists might expect to see in the archaeological record when an epidemic causes widespread mortality. From there, they examine why evidence for these epidemics can be surprisingly difficult to identify, including the challenges surrounding burials, preservation, and the archaeological visibility of epidemic deaths. In the second half of the episode, they explore approaches archaeologists can use to identify evidence of historic epidemics and discuss what this research can tell us about Indigenous population loss, colonialism, and the relationship between archaeological and historical evidence.TranscriptFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/50LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.
