Description
An archaeology podcast and book club where archaeologists Barbara and Tristan read and discuss archaeology books that make the ancient past approachable and fun. This bi-weekly archaeology podcast draws on over 40 years of combined experience.
Archaeology Books for Fun explores ancient civilizations, archaeological mysteries, “lost” cities, and popular myths. Topics range from the illicit artifact trade to ancient aliens and Atlantis, from high-tech LiDAR discoveries to the occasional murder mysteries.
Winner of the 2024 Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation Education Award.
