This week I'm on my own and talking about the Rosetta Stone. Not the overpriced software but the large slab of granite from which the software gets its name. I'll talk about why the stone was made in the first place and it's role in our understanding of ancient Egyptian culture. I'll also talk about why should be returned to Egypt by the British Museum.

anthropology, archaeology, cultural resource management, elgin marbles, greece, parthenon, parthenon marbles, scicomm, science
Who owns the past? Why should we care about this question? How annoyed can James make a guest by comparing them to Indiana Jones or Lara Croft? In this episode, I talked with Gypsy Price, a bioarchaeologist, about a lot of things. Topics range from her work in Greece, cultural resource management, what to do with a degree in archaeology, and why Britain should return the Parthenon Marbles to Greece.
