We explore the politics swirling around the fields of archaeology, anthropology and history. We’ll dig up the forgotten roots of “Western Civilization,” and we’ll find out what happens when stolen antiquities end up in museums and universities. You’ll hear the voices of scholars you won’t hear anywhere else as we explore a new model of archaeology looking past imperial, national and ethno-centric worldviews to explore our shared heritage.
