NEWS: Climate Models, Non-Kosher Ancient Judeans, and Coins - Ep 125

We have three articles for you today. The first is about current climate models and how they don't take archaeological information into consideration. For example, how many acres of food were grown per person in 1500 Europe verses China? Next we look at why pig and fish remains were in abundance in some ancient Judean settlements? Weren't they supposed to be Kosher? Finally, a paper that's still just an abstract suggests that coin makers in ancient Greece and Rome found it hard to make bronze dies.

The Anthropologist Documentary - Episode 2

On today's show, April and Chris interview Seth Kramer (Director) and Dr. Susan Crate (the Anthropologist) about their 2015 documentary about climate change, "The Anthropologist". 

“At the core of The Anthropologist are the parallel stories of two women: Margaret Mead, who popularized cultural anthropology in America; and Susie Crate, an environmental anthropologist currently studying the impact of climate change. Uniquely revealed from their daughters’ perspectives, Mead and Crate demonstrate a fascination with how societies are forced to negotiate the disruption of their traditional ways of life, whether through encounters with the outside world or the unprecedented change wrought by melting permafrost, receding glaciers and rising tides.”
