View on Zencastr

We've got three news stories for you again this week. The first is about a find at Pompeii, where they are always finding cool things, that's different from most. Archaeologists have found what they think are slave's quarters, an underrepresented group in the archaeological assemblage. Next we have some new thoughts after a recent reconstruction of the 300kyo Homo naledi. Finally, archaeologists get really excited about 2000 year old toilets in Turkey.

View on Zencastr

On today’s show we start with an article that claims to “debunk” the Paleo Diet. However, what it really does is just talk about a lot of really cool food-related things in history. Next we go to Turkey and learn about a headless statue that was recently discovered. Finally, we end in an Iranian salt mine where naturally mummified sheep were found.
