Welcome to the first episode of the Archaeo Book Club, now part of the Archaeology Podcast Network!
Join Tilly, Judith, and Ash as they wade into our June reading theme: Under the Sea.
In this “field notes” discussion, we share our own experiences with watery archaeology, from shipwrecks and submerged cities to muddy river finds, and talk about how this theme has surfaced in our work, studies, and reading. We swap favourite anecdotes, explore why underwater and riverway archaeology matters, and look at how interest in the topic has evolved over time.
Monthly Book: Mudlarking: Lost and Found on the River Thames by Lara Maiklem
