Material Culture & Cognitive Evolution with Dr Matilda Siebrecht - ADHD 203
In this episode, George is joined by archaeologist and podcaster Matilda (Tilly) Siebrecht to explore what artefacts can really tell us about the human mind.
These aren’t just ancient objects — they’re decisions, habits, and lived experiences.
From tool use to decorative beads, George and Tilly discuss how material culture reveals:
• How people thought and learned
• The role of skill, repetition, and behaviour
• What wear and tear tells us about everyday life
• And how individual differences show up in the archaeological record
Drawing on Tilly’s work in material culture and experimental archaeology, this episode brings the past to life through the objects people left behind.
Because archaeology isn’t just about what survived…
It’s about the many ways people experienced being human.
