Microwear Analysis with APN Host Dr. Matilda Siebrecht - Ep 26
Meet Tilly, the amazing host of Tea-Break Time Travel, and co-host of the And My Trowel podcasts. She is also the woman behind the @the_archaeologists_teacup Instagram account, and all the APN social media! Today we chat with her about her all podcasts, as well as her areas of expertise: microwear analysis and experimental archaeology. Finally, she lends her expert opinion on a recent news article that used some cutting edge microwear analysis techniques to draw some pretty big conclusions.
