AI Epigraphers, British Kings, and Stone Age Reconstructions - TAS 164

What this episode covers

This week we discuss some interesting archaeology news articles. First up is a new algorithm that can read and restore Ancient Greek texts. Second, a researcher claims to have found approximately 65 previously unknown British royal burials. We definitely have a lot of questions about that statement! And finally, a beautiful reconstruction of a Stone Age woman by both artists and archaeologists is on display in Sweden.
