Decapitated burials, lava tubes filled with bones, and an ancient mint - TAS 134

In this week’s episode of The Archaeology Show, we take a look at 3 recent archaeology news articles. First, a Roman graveyard containing an unusually high number of decapitated burials, indicating they may have been executed criminals. Second, lava tubes in Saudi Arabia with thousands of bones deposited by hyenas representing many different animals, including humans. Finally, we discuss spade shaped coins made in a 2500 year old Chinese mint.
