School of Rocks with Dr. Danielle Macdonald - Dirt 155

What this episode covers

Dr. Danielle Macdonald specializes in the prehistory of Western Asia and the stone tools that people made and used in their everyday lives. That's right, three years in, we're finally doing an episode on lithics! We'll also talk about Danielle's path to anthropology and her ongoing work at the site of Kharaneh IV in what's today Jordan.
