Sutton Hoo "Ghost Ship" and The Dig (111) - Ep 154

This week, the hosts are a little under the weather so we pulled a favorite from the archives for today’s episode. We hope you enjoy!

With the recent release of The Dig, a Netflix film focused on the excavation of an incredible 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!

Shipwrecks, a rediscovered cemetery and Neanderthals - Ep 151

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First, researchers have discovered 2 well preserved shipwrecks off the coast of Ceasarea that are from two different time periods, but very close together on the sea floor. Second, a forgotten African American cemetery has been re-discovered under a parking lot and building in Clearwater Florida. And finally, new research shows that Neanderthals may have had a bigger impact on the Pleistocene landscape than we previously thought.

Muons and the Terracotta Army, Mesolithic Baby burial and Pseudoscience in Jordan - Ep 150

This week we discuss three very different archaeological news stories! First, archaeologists in China plan to use Muons to “see” inside the unopened and presumably un-looted tomb of China’s first Emperor Qin Shi Huang. His tomb is protected by the famed Terracotta Army, but has remained unopened due to preservation concerns. The second article is about a European Mesolithic baby burial, and the great care with which she was buried. Finally, we head over to Jordan to learn about recent research that was twisted to “prove” the story of the city of Sodom in the Bible, and how this is dangerous pseudoscience that damages the archaeology of the area.
