On today’s edition of the podcast, Flint Dibble (Wiener Lab, American School of Classical Studies at Athens) speaks about zooarchaeology in different Mediterranean contexts. At the Archaic city of Azoria in northeastern Crete, Flint has excavated and studied animal bones for the last few years. By understanding the position of their deposition in structures and the nature of butchery marks on them, he is able to understand how people partook in communal dining.

Flint is also starting a new excavation at the Greek colony of Histria in Romania. We also talk about public communication and the overlap between scientific and humanistic archaeologies more broadly.
