What this episode covers

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories! First up, after a 2 year hiatus, underwater excavations of the HMS Erebus have resumed with some amazing new findings. Next, we head over to Scandinavia where genetic studies of the ancient remains tell a new story about the movement of people in and out of the area in the Viking era. And finally, how Nazis 'whitewashed' a shaman's prehistoric remains.
