Nice piece of Trinitite! Trinitite, what's that?
Tall el-Hammam was chosen to excavate as the possible site of Sodom, based not on the destruction evidence, but on the geography listed in the Bible. The idea of it having been destroyed by a cosmic airburst event was hit upon during the first season. Dr. Collins recounts how and why this theory was proposed, based on the evidence coming out of the ground during that initial excavation.

Something's afoot with our pottery!
Why do archaeologists love to collect pottery sherds? If they find enough pieces, they might have enough to reconstruct a vessel–that they can keep their candy in! Smashed vessels are the original 3D puzzles.
In this episode, Dr. Steve and Gary discuss how the scattered sherds collected over sixteen seasons at Tall el-Hammam are proving to be a collection archaeologists have not seen elsewhere in the Levant.
Also, watch and see what is afoot with a foot from a footed vessel!
