This discussion which occurred this episode is sure to keep anyone thinking for quite some time, inspired by the 58th Anniversary of the US, UK and Soviet Union Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, when any nuclear testing with the exception of that underground was by agreement ceased. This episode discusses nuclear archaeology... which includes everything from nuclear techniques to commentary on the ethics of nuclear to the rather intriguing notion of a 'curated nuclear archaeological site'. Perhaps most importantly this episode we find out that all archaeologists are essentially experts on past societies, wait for it... waste products! And it always sounded so glamorous too. All of this is discussed with Prof. R. Joyce, whose book certainly inspired the direction of this discussion. In advance, thanks for listening!
