Inside Archaeology

Inside Archaeology covers a huge range of topics including interviews with archaeologists all over the world, a monthly news show about the latest groundbreaking discoveries, reviews and analyses of archaeology movies, videos and other media, as well as lots of advice and tips on how YOU can get involved in heritage, from finding a site to volunteer on to what to pack when you’re going on a dig or how to find a job.


Inside Archaeology

We've covered unknown discoveries, lost cites and tonight we're exploring mysterious artefacts that archaeologists can't quite figure out! It's not for a lack of trying but sometimes we just don't have the answers. This is ok though cause it means we can keep digging to figure them out! Join me at the premiere at 7:30 PM BST or afterward in the Indy stream. Looking forward to hearing about how your weekends have been!

Here is my for-fun reading pile for 2025 (so much smaller now that I have a baby). I've been using my bookshelf as my video background for years and occasionally I see a comment asking about my choice of reading material. To save you all having to pause and squint to make out what's in my library I've made an Amazon storefront with my books, both archaeological and recreational, as well as a few extra goodies.. Go have a look and happy reading! www.amazon.co.uk/shop/insidearchaeology
