Everything from the lady herself to the wider suffragette movement, women's rights reception, our own personal heroes in the fields of history, archaeology and heritage and well... what exactly is the state of the situation now.

Introducing: Flipside - Flipside 0
All the history we read in the history books can begin to seem a little mundane, but history also has a Flipside. Each month we take an historical event anniversary and, admittedly sometimes tenuously, extract a discussion topic from it, then we ask guests from the history, archaeology and heritage spheres to sit down and have a chat with us about it... no holds barred; these discussions could head off in any number of tangents. Ever wondered how suffragette martyr Emily Wilding Davison, a little-known hieroglyph specialist and the modern gender pay-gap are linked, well except from all being in one single episode of Flipside that is... listen and find out! And as always, stay safe, and we'll see you on the Flipside! #OnTheFlipside

Experimental reconstruction of Roman Bread with Yvette Marks - ArchandAle 39
Archaeology & Ale is a monthly series of talks presented by Archaeology in the City, part of the University of Sheffield Archaeology Department’s outreach programme. This month we are proud to host Yvette Marks speaking on "Experimental reconstruction of Roman Bread." This talk took place on Thursday, May 27th, 2021, online via Google Meets.
Yvette is a material scientist with a focus on reconstructing ancient technologies and metallurgy. Yvette started her archaeological career with a degree in Classical Studies at the University of Liverpool before completing an MA in Archaeology at Liverpool and an MSc in Archaeological Materials at Sheffield.
In 2015 Yvette started working for Heritage Doncaster, initially as an Education Officer, then became their Assistant Curator of Archaeology. Yvette worked to enabled their collection to be more accessible; to the public, for teaching and outreach, by cataloguing and interpreting the collection. Since 2019 Yvette has worked at the University of Sheffield's Department of Archaeology as a Laboratory Manager and Teaching Technician (Archaeological Science).
Yvette is currently completing her PhD thesis, 'The inception and transmission of metallurgy: A regional approach' which focuses on the material evidence for the process of copper production in the Aegean and Balkans during the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age. This research aims to understand the material evidence from excavation and reconstruct the technological processes used to smelt and cast metal by combining experimental archaeology and analysis to test these hypotheses.
In this talk, Yvette tells us about a recent experiment she undertook with some students from Sheffield's Department of Archaeology. The experiment explored various methods used by Roman soldiers to bake bread.

NEWS: Climate Models, Non-Kosher Ancient Judeans, and Coins - TAS 125
We have three articles for you today. The first is about current climate models and how they don't take archaeological information into consideration. For example, how many acres of food were grown per person in 1500 Europe verses China? Next we look at why pig and fish remains were in abundance in some ancient Judean settlements? Weren't they supposed to be Kosher? Finally, a paper that's still just an abstract suggests that coin makers in ancient Greece and Rome found it hard to make bronze dies.
