This is a podcast from the Archaeology Podcast Network about the relationship between animals and humans on archaeology sites - it’s called Zooarchaeology and we have a couple of experts, Alex Fitzpatrick and Simona Falanga, to guide you through it.
You’re not supposed to be here! ‘Exotic’ species in the archaeological record - Episode 27
On this month’s episode, Alex and Simona were meant to discuss non-native species in the archaeological record. What actually happened is a mix of exotic pets, headphone-wearing animals and helpful ancient Roman advice.
