How Technological Innovation Can Drive Greater Accessibility and Inclusivity in Archaeology - Ep 260
Archaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in AlUla, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.

Curse Tablets, Ice Skates and the Archaeology of Childhood - Ep 258
This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First up, "curse tablets" were found at a Roman villa in the UK. Then, a 1,000 year old bone ice skate was found at a site in the Czech Republic. And finally, we have a discussion about the length of childhood in humans, and how it evolved to be that way and the somewhat overlooked archaeology of childhood.

Customer Reviews
Ep.195 - It could have been SO much better.
I was looking forward to hearing some critical thinking from Chris and Rachel, challenging specific theories of Graham Hancock with specific evidence and data. But disappointingly, their narrative is reduced to lazy, broad brush dismissal with Rachel seemingly switching from outright mockery to tacit agreement. There would have been so much more value if they had taken on a few of Hancock’s point head on, specifically… but they don’t. I wonder why that is..?
Long Adverts, Long Irrelevant Chat, Short on Content
Shows do need sponsors but when the ad at the start for a sponsor is so long it gets ridiculous. Then even more minutes daft irrelevant chat and … I’ve given-up on it. I started because I was interested in archaeology, not in the personal lives of presenters (that’s what Facebook
‘Linear B hasn’t been deciphered yet’ ?!
Stopped listening at this point ! They ought to read The Riddle of the Labyrinth’ by the excellent Margalit Fox. They’ll be in for a massive surprise!!
