Digging Up Vampires
Ritual Purposes is a podcast bringing short dives into the weird, wacky, wonderful world of anthropology. In this first episode, host Vico focuses on the vampire burials found at Drawsko, Poland. How do the Polish vampires differ from modern vampires? What makes a vampire, and how did people of the 17th and 18th centuries seek to prevent them? How did scientists use isotopic analysis to examine these vampires?
