In this episode, we delve into Zooarchaeology, the archaeology of animals. As they can be peoples' best friend, animals do tell a lot about society and how humans live. We also investigate another archaeology crime, this time the theft of a US$1.8M Celtic gold coin hoard in Manching, southern Germany. A sophisticated heist which involved cutting electricity to the entire city, it's difficult to see how the archaeology and heritage community fights that. However, there still are some lessons learned.Video version: https://www.youtube.com/@Into_the-Dust_Arch#archaeology #history #ancienthistory #realcrimestories
