Episode description
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.
