Shipworms, Head Lice, and Cracking Skulls - Ep 207

It’s a news episode again! This week we talk about a shipwreck from the 1800s that washed up on the shore in Massachusetts in the US. Then we head over to the other side of the world and see what was so important it had to be written on a comb. And finally, we look at some experimental archaeology that cracked some skulls with ancient stone tools.

Magnetometry on the Lagash Project (Archaeotech 191) - Ep 206

Chris is sick this week and needs to let his voice rest so we are playing a really awesome episode of Archaeotech with Chris and his co-host Paul Zimmerman. Recently an article came out in CNN featuring the work that the team Paul is part of is doing in Iraq, so it was the perfect opportunity to talk about that article and play the episode that they recorded a couple months ago about how they use Magnetometry at Lagash.

We talk about this history of the bridge and what led to this version being moved to an Arizona tourist town that was literally built around it.
