We’ve got three news stories for you today. First we go to England and find out just how big a “giant hand axe” is. Then we learn about textiles and jewelry from an Iron Age cremation burial. Finally, we’re honing in on the oldest human sites in North America with some new dates from a site in Oregon.

Archaeology Drama! - Ep 218

View on Zencastr

We saved the drama for, well, YOU this time! We start with an archaeologist that’s trying to build somewhat of an archaeology theme park in Guatemala and the local community isn’t having it. Then we go to Netflix’s latest blunder regarding a show about Cleopatra. Finally, if you find something in England with your metal detector you’d better report it or suffer the consequences.
