Timelines: 210 BCE - Ep 180

View on Zencastr

In 210 BCE Qin Shi Huangdi, the self-proclaimed first emperor of China was laid to rest surrounded by a terra cotta version of his army and court. But what was going on at the same time in other places in the world? In this episode we talk about the terra cotta army in China. Then we move over to Europe/Northern Africa because the end of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage was coming to an end at the exact same time. Finally, we take a look at the one of the first unified empires in India, the Mauryan.

Stones in Circles and the Ancients that Loved Them - Ep 179

View on Zencastr

News from the English Countryside is dominating the podcast today! We've got a 4,800 year old stone circle on top of a henge and two from Stonehenge. The first is about the parasites that the early builders of Stonehenge suffered from and the second is about ancient pits, lots of them, found in the area around Stonehenge. Those ancients really DID love their stones in circles!

Recent Research at a Paleoindian Red Ochre quarry with Dr. Spencer Pelton - Ep 178

View on Zencastr

This week we interview Dr. Spencer Pelton, the Wyoming State Archaeologist, about his work on the Powers II red ochre quarry site. He recently co-authored a paper about that site, and in it they reveal that the dating results make the Powers Site potentially the oldest quarry site in North America. It's a fascinating and unique site and Dr. Pelton graciously shares his expertise on red ochre, how it was mined, and how it was potentially used by Paleoindian people in Wyoming.
