And My TrowelAuthor: The Archaeology Podcast Network
The realms between fantasy and reality have collided and only archaeologists can pave the way through the unknown. Ash and Tilly, armed with two trowels and a backlog of archaeological theory, navigate to new, thrilling worlds, filled with magic and mayhem to answer those burgeoning questions that only archaeologists can answer. What do you do when you find vampire teeth in a bronze age burial? Can you sample ecto-plasm? And just how DO you study dragon bones? With the occasional help of specialists guests they uncover a new realm of archaeology and find out if fantasy is really so far from reality.
