Listen "Could you be related to an ancient King?"
Episode Synopsis
It's another episode devoted to answering the questions you've been asking on Patreon. Time Team archaeologist Dr Helen Geake considers whether DNA could discover the ancestors of ancient Kings who are alive today, how long achaeology has been studied and the measures in place to stop artefacts being stolen from a dig site.
There's also Helen's Find. This time Helen's discussing seal matrices, the metal objects used to stamp wax seals on letters. Here's a link to the Portable Antiquities Scheme item SUR-C5F736 being talked about:
