Episode 1 - ABCs, Archaeology Porn, and Site Visit #1
Episode 1 – A for Archaeology, The Antikythera Mechanism, and a trip to Marseille
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzUV5bfgB24&list=PLcH4-BWqVM6KHP2Ih6UEq4_G1qRq8MgSn&index=5
In this episode, Jason goes through 3 segments – The ABCs of Archaeology, Archaeology Porn, and Living Archaeology Site Visits
ABCs of Archaeology – A is for Archaeology
Jason starts with the most basic question – What is Archaeology? Though often the subject of movies, TV shows, journalism, and other media, many people really have no idea.
Archaeology Porn - The Antikythera Mechanism
The Antikythera Mechanism, on which the most recent Indiana Jones film is LOOSELY based, is truly deserving of the first Archaeology Porn designation. Found in a Greek shipwreck more than two thousand years old, it is considered the world’s first computer. Amazeballs!

Living Archaeology Site Visit to Marseille and Cosquer Méditerranée
Jason takes you all the way to Marseille, France, to visit Cosquer Méditerranée, the recreation of cave full of 30,000 year old paintings. Now sitting more than 37m / 120 ft underwater due to rising sea levels after the ice age, the cave was rediscovered by Mr. Cosquer during a dive in 1985. Inaccessible to public and threatened by the continually rising sea level, the cave has been recreated in the center of the vibrant city of Marseille for your viewing pleasure!
