Dr. Yannis Hamilakis, a professor of Archaeology and Modern Greek Studies at Brown University, joins Lexie to discuss how the materiality of antiquity in Greece impacted him growing up, how he came to study the archaeology of food & drink, his new book on archaeology and nationalism, and whether he believes nationalism existed in the ancient world.

Note: Apologies, but I was traveling around Europe and didn't have access to my normal recording mics. So this episode was recorded using only my headphones.
