Meeting a Zooarchaeologist with The Gillen Brewer Interviewers!
The Gillen Brewer Interviewers are back and ready to learn about animals and their relationships with humans across time!
In this episode, students from the Gillen Brewer School sit down with zooarchaeologist Evin Grody to uncover ancient animal facts—like whether people had pets 2,000 years ago or if anyone ever rode a zebra!
Tune in for this paws-itively fun and fascinating journey through history!
About Evin Grody:
Evin is an absolute nerd about all things ANIMAL and exploring the ways our lives are so very intertwined! Growing up, she spent most of her time outdoors in the Colorado mountains with the various animals her family had (dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, lizard). This left her with an early and deep understanding of how much animals both shape our lives and are shaped by them.
Evin has conducted fieldwork and museum collections work in the USA, South Africa, Zambia, and Madagascar. Her writing, presentations, and archaeological conversations have covered everything from peer-reviewed journal articles and professional conferences to public library chats, YouTube videos, and podcast chats.
