Go behind the headlines, and discovery real history and archaeology news.
Richie Cruz joins Chris Webster for a recording of You Call This Archaeology that we decided to record and release here. It’s a fun conversation that goes from the archaeological record that we’re starting to produce less and less to drones to whatever else. Enjoy!
Happy Archaeology Fun Time

Whether you live in a city or not we all are familiar with cities and how they impact our lives. Some of us live in them and others just visit them when we need things or social interaction that we can’t get elsewhere. Our guest today has studied the history of the city and some of what Dr. Monica Smith has found may surprise you.

Chris saw a video several months ago that really challenged his preconceived notions of what the past was like. That video was a promotional video about New York City shot in 1911. There is no commentary, it's not scripted, and it just looks like cut-together scenes of life in the big city in that year. It's fascinating. April and Chris spend most of the show talking about that video, what it means, and what we can learn from it. They also talk about the rephotography movement and other representations of the past.

Sir Barry Cunliffe returns for the third time to The Archaeology Show! On today's show, we talk to him about the Ancient Celts and the second edition of the book with the same name. Archaeologists have learned a lot about the ancient Celts since the first edition of the book was released and we scrape the surface on this show.
