Wild Archaeology is a show produced by, directed by and starring Indigenous people and focuses on archaeology in North America.
Episode 7- M茅tis of Chimney Coulee (Pt 1)
The team heads to plains country to meet M茅tis archaeologist Kisha Supernant at Chimney Coulee in southern Saskatchewan. Straddling the continental divide, the site is home to diverse occupations stretching back at least 10,000 years. Kisha puts Jen and Jacob to work excavating the inside of a M茅tis cabin while Dr. Rudy uses ground penetrating radar (GPR) to map underground features as a digital 3D model.
Episode 8- M茅tis of Chimney Coulee (Pt 2)
Kisha introduces the team to Dr. Natasha Lyons, a paleo ethnobotanist investigating the plants used for food and medicine at Chimney Coulee long ago. Jen helps Natasha collect samples for analysis while Jacob learns a few words in Michif, the endangered language of the M茅tis people. Jen and Jacob face off in a bead finding competition to see who has the best eye for artifacts.
