Archaeology tells the story of people, yet identifying individuals in the archaeological record remains notoriously challenging. In this episode, we speak with Rachel Bynoe, Charles Helm, and three Ju/’hoansi master trackers - /ui Kxunta,  ≠oma Daqm, and /uce Nǂamce - from Nyae Nyae, Namibia, to explore ichnology—the study of tracks and traces. Together, we uncover evidence of individuals from deep time and gain insights into the landscapes they inhabited.
