A New Maya Kingdom, What's an Anchoress? And paving over Miami's history - Ep 205

On today’s news episode we start with another Maya Kingdom found just sitting under some bushes in the jungle. OK, it’s a LOT of bushes. Then we move over to the UK and learn more about a skeleton that’s been in the University of Sheffield’s collection since the early 2000’s. Finally we talk about why the people of Miami keep letting developers dig up and pave over their most important cultural resources.
