From Ruins to Relics: Exploring Britain's Pompeii, a Hidden Ivory Pyx, and Denmark's Earliest Known Immigrant - Ep 269

View on Zencastr

This week we have 3 archaeology news stories. First, a bronze age site known as Must Farm has been called Britain’s Pompeii, and we look at why it has been given that name. Then, a fragmented ivory Pyx was found hidden in a Christian church. And finally, new dietary analysis of a Danish Bog body tells a story of neolithic immigration between very different communities.

Oldest Art? A Nubian Cathedral, and the Temple of the Winged Lions - Ep 131

View on Zencastr

Paul Zimmerman from the ArchaeoTech podcast joins Chris and Rachel on their archaeological project in the high desert of Nevada. We talk about a dubious piece of Neanderthal art - I mean, art is art, right? We also look at a Nubian cathedral that was recently excavated. Finally, Paul helps us understand the Temple of the Winged Lions at Petra. He's actually worked there!
