Letter packets, Diadems and Ancient Bogota - Ep 115 The Archaeology Show

This week was packed full of interesting archaeology news stories, so join us
for a discussion about the 3 that caught our eye! First up is a story about
using x-ray microtomography to virtually unfold historical letters. Then, in
segment 2 we cover a story about a burial site in Spain that indicates that the
social and political rulers of the culture may have been women. Finally, we
discuss an innovative new approach to studying Bogota's prehistoric irrigation
system.
