2: "Frankenstein" Mummies of Cladh Hallan

Happy Anthropology Day! To celebrate, we picked an episode with some truly awesome subjects: Bone shovels, bogs, and bodies that were "Frankensteined" together...what more could you want? So sit back, relax, and indulge in a sense of wonder as Ivy shares the "puzzling" (pun intended) story of this strange archaeological site, and how it has helped to re-write Bronze Age history as we know it!
