Muons and More - Archaeotech 169

What this episode covers

Chris and Paul discuss a couple recent articles. One describes the use of muons as a non-invasive technique for looking inside solid objects, and the other discusses the authors' R project for visualizing chronology. They might not seem related, but both articles predict exciting advancements in archaeology.
