Pompeii Slave's Rooms, Homo Naledi, and ancient theater toilets - TAS 146

What this episode covers

We've got three news stories for you again this week. The first is about a find at Pompeii, where they are always finding cool things, that's different from most. Archaeologists have found what they think are slave's quarters, an underrepresented group in the archaeological assemblage. Next we have some new thoughts after a recent reconstruction of the 300kyo Homo naledi. Finally, archaeologists get really excited about 2000 year old toilets in Turkey.
