"Relics" by Mary Anna Evans is an archaeology-themed murder mystery, and we’re reading Chapters 1-5.What do “buffalo wallows” have to do with archaeology? Unfortunately… more than they should in this episode. We're kicking off the archaeology-themed murder mystery "Relics" by Mary Anna Evans (Ch. 1–5) and, even though nobody dies (yet), an archaeological site has still been murdered.Archaeologists Barbara and Tristan talk about why no excavation should ever be described as a “buffalo wallow,” a few modern trends in community archaeology, and the realities of working under an archaeologist who shouldn’t be making decisions. The early mystery setup had us so hooked we briefly forgot we’re reading a murder mystery.In part 2, we’ll continue the story and see what kind of “murder” shows up first.___Catch up on the first book:"Artifacts" Episode 1: https://youtu.be/TZro0WllkrU____Support the show!https://www.fpan.us/give/#archaeologybooksforfun #murdermystery #archaeology #bookpodcast
