Sutton Hoo "Ghost Ship" and The Dig - Ep 111

View on Zencastr

With the recent release of The Dig, a Netflix film focused on the excavation of the incredible Anglo-Saxon burial ship at Sutton Hoo, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at this site! Sutton Hoo is extremely important and interesting for many reasons and we dive into those as well as review the movie. Did we like it? Join us and find out!

We had so much to talk about that we couldn’t fit it all into the episode. Become an APN member to get access to the rest of the conversation!

The Archaeology of Harry Potter - Ep 109

View on Zencastr

Join us as we have a discussion about the Harry Potter Universe from an Anthropological and Archaeological perspective. The readers and watchers of Harry Potter are expected to believe that a magical world exists both completely separately but in the same space as the "real" world. Naturally, for these two nerds this brings up so many questions about how the two intersect, both currently, historically, and even prehistorically!
