PROMO Ancient Chinese Oracle Bones and other Ancient Writing - Ep 98

We had some interviews fall through this week so we’re presenting you with an episode of The Archaeology Show. We think it’s mostly relevant but either way we hope you like it. Here’s the show description:

We're taking a deep dive on ancient writing on this episode! After talking about the recent deciphering of Linear Elamite on the last episode we just wanted more. We'll talk about what writing means and mention other undeciphered languages. In the last two segments we'll talk about first written scripts in China and Mesoamerica. And for members, we've got a cool bonus segment about a curious artifact found in Mexico in the 1990s.

Understanding Big Horn Sheep with Carlos Gallinger - Ep 97

In order to begin to understand the symbols we see on the rocks and the people that made them we need to understand their environment. Carlos Gallinger has spent a lifetime studying the habits of the Bighorn Sheep in order to understand the people that live with, and off, off them. For example, it’s not feasible to take down a Bighorn sheep ten miles from your family. You need to be where the sheep are and understand them. Native people had this ability and Carlos wants to understand that ability.
