In this episode we're joined by historian, author and broadcaster, Professor Michael Scott, to talk about his book "X Marks the Spot: An Adventurous History of Archaeology".

The book explores 8 amazing archaeological discoveries, which we discuss from our usual sensory perspective. From Machu Picchu to the Silk Roads, to the Uluburun Shipwreck, there's something for everyone and plenty of awe-inspiring moments to choose from. And if that's not enough to convince you to tune in, the episode also includes a healthy dose of history-based Lego chat...

X Marks The Spot is now available in paperback and you can pick up a copy in all good bookshops:
