The Dirt Is Moving! Goodbye APN :(

We’re moving! The Dirt is changing hosts and leaving the APN. However, you shouldn’t experience an interruption in your shows when they return. The feed should update automatically.

From Chris Webster: I’ve really appreciated having the quality content from Anna and Amber on the APN! You’re a class act and put on an interesting and informative show. We’ll miss you for sure!

PROMO - Not just naked blue barbarians - Tea Break Time-Travel 4

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from Tea Break Time Travel about Scottish prehistory and the Pictish Beastie.

This month Matilda focuses on the prehistory of Scotland, and specifically that enigmatic carved stone symbol known as the Pictish Beastie. Is it a dolphin? Is it an elephant? Is it a unicorn? To help uncover the mystery of this symbol and provide some background context about Pictish society is guest Hamish Findley Lamley, owner of Pictavia Leather. Join the journey to hear all about the different cultures in Scottish prehistory, the significance of standing stones, and why you would make a zebra-skin sporran.

PROMO - Spines in Peru, Decapitated Romans and Egyptian Notepads - The Archaeology Show 158

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Archaeology Show with three news articles from February 2022.

This week we have three interesting archaeology news articles. First, spines excavated in the Chincha valley of Peru are threaded on reeds posthumously. Archaeologist speculate this may have been done by the family members of the data after looting by the Spanish occurred. In segment 2 we take a look at a cemetery in the UK with an unusually high number of decapitated bodies. And finally, it turns out that ancient Egyptians used broken pot sherds as a type of notepad that school children used to practice script writing.

• Scientists found 192 spines threaded on poles in Peru, a macabre practice that may be a response to Europeans pillaging graves

More Parts of Cladh Hallan - Ep 210

Truly we are talking ancient history, since “Cladh Hallan: A Story in Several Parts” was episode 18, way back in 2018 when we still had no idea what we were doing and long before the content that was migrated to the APN feed. This may be the first time some longtime listeners (including you?) have heard this story, and we’ll round it out with some additional context for the subject matter. Find out what we sounded like before Anna really got the hang of sound editing!
