Summary

In this episode, we sit down with two of our resident bone specialists – an osteologist and an archaeozoologist!

We also hear about unusual discoveries on the proposed National Highways A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet improvements, asking why a piece of human skull was found in a roundhouse, and did we really find evidence of a feast?
