It’s time for an axe-tremely axe-citing episode! Ash and Tilly have to deal with a tricky situation over at the Bazkardum Society of Dwarfish History, who want to know how to classify a recently donated polished stone axe. Luckily, they have help from special guest Dr Amber Roy - experimental archaeologist and microwear analyst who specialises in prehistoric axes. In this first of two episodes, the three questers discuss the role of axes in fantasy fiction, and what a microscope might be able to bring to the conversation.

Let's dust off our thinking hats and join in exploring two objects brought up in the Ancient Alien episode "Relics" from Season 6, episode 8. First, we will spend time with four golden hats from the European Bronze Age. Some claim they functioned as priestly antennas, but how do they fit into the Bronze Age cult. Then we will move on to the Copper Scrolls, one of the maybe more mysterious scrolls in the Dead Sea Scroll collection. It's a treasure map written on copper and hidden in a cave. That Indiana Jones, Nic Cage, or any other treasure movie franchise has not picked this story up yet is potentially one of our larger mysteries in this episode. Hold on to your hat, and let's set out to find some treasure.

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First, we discuss a new dating technique that researchers in Ukraine are using on early human tools. Then, we head over to Mexico where a construction project has uncovered a uniquely arranged group burial. And finally, we head down to Peru, and the gorgeous city of Cajamarca, where researchers have found the stone circle that was built over 4,000 years ago.

In our 50th episode, our Geophysics Technician Andres Perez Arana entertains a packed Red Deer to describe what archaeologists are able to observe without getting their hands dirty. He includes many examples of site she has worked at whilst in commercial and academic archaeology.

For today, we are diving into a deep, dark abyss of the truly stupid. All I can say is that I am truly sorry, because your good sense, happiness, and faith in the human race are guaranteed to be destroyed by the Lost Continent of Mu. You have been warned.

As we scrambled for a topic this week, we all realized that we were having issues with companies going out of business. Whether buying screens, running radiocarbon samples, or upgrading computer programs, we found that some businesses that we used for years were closing. What do you do after that happens? The obvious answer is find a new supplier, but sometimes it’s not that easy…
