Archaeology of The Hobbit: Smials Saloons - Ep 71

Ash and Tilly have finally made it through the front door of Bag End! In this episode, they discuss the archaeology of buildings, and talk about how the physical structure of a hobbit hole (or smials) can be used to learn more about hobbit culture. Tune in to hear all about window tax, historic palimpsests, and why a round door just doesn’t make sense!
