Madam Archaeologist
I'm Madam Archaeologist, your go-to informant on everything archaeology. Welcome to my YouTube channel!
My goal is to make archaeology and academic research accessible to a wider audience. I have two series: (1) Archaeological Science and (2) Archaeology. Every episode is designed around a specific theme. In Archaeological Science, I dive into topics related to ancient DNA, stable isotope analysis, the analysis of human bones, and the application of scientific techniques to artefacts and ancient monuments. My Archaeology series focuses on traditional archaeology and analyzing artefacts, archaeological sites, and monuments from a humanities perspective.
Episodes alternate between my two series. Make sure you SUBSCRIBE.
Check out my SHORTS for new archaeological discoveries and cool facts.

Thank you Dan @DeDunking for inviting me to collaborate on your latest video on the new statue discovery at Göbekli Tepe and for the kind words you shared about me in it. It was a pleasure collaborating with you!
Dan looks at the discovery with a critical eye, considers different perspectives/interpretations, and offers valuable insights of his own 👉🏻 https://youtu.be/K4eRjcg_KX8?feature=...

Update: The weekly schedule for my episodes will change. Quality takes time and episodes will roll out as they are ready.
On another note, I have lots of interesting topics coming up, especially on ancient DNA. Stay tuned!!

Q&A 🧬ANCIENT DNA🧬: I plan to do an episode answering some questions in the comments of my ancient DNA-themed episodes and doing some fact-checking. If you have any Qs about the use of ancient DNA in archaeology, how archaeogenetics works, or even a question about a specific paper or archaeogenetic discovery, let me know in the comments here. I'll pick a few and answer them in the episode as well.

Happy DNA Day! 🧬
Here’s Photograph 51, an X-ray diffraction image taken in 1952 by Dr. Rosalind Franklin and her PhD student, Raymond Gosling. It helped scientists understand the structure of DNA.
I’ve been planning to do an episode answering some questions in the comments of my ancient DNA-themed episodes.
