Welcome to Steffi Mist in History Class from HouseStopWorks.com

Hello and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Holly from and I'm Tracy V. Wilson.

And we certainly reference archaeology all the time on the show and we talk about artifacts

that have been on earth and sometimes discoveries that help explain our understandings of other

times and cultures but we don't often get to actually speak with the archaeologists involved.

Just always you know we love hearing we have fans that are archaeologists that write to us sometimes

but it's cool to actually get to sit down and have a conversation with archaeologists

and I was recently lucky enough to do just that.

I had to talk with two fabulous women who are archaeologists at Harvard University

and they're working on this really interesting ongoing project with Harvard's Peabody Museum

of Ethnology and Archaeology.

So this is another one of our recent collection of episodes you can tell it's summertime

because Holly and I have each had various time off.

So this is another one of those episodes that Holly you took.

You took the reins on this one while I was away and so I am getting to experience it for

the first time along with all of our listeners.

I love it when it works out that way.

It is it's kind of fun to see I know for me when you do a project on your own it's fun to

kind of see how that plays out and it's kind of like getting a little treat in addition to

getting time off.

So tell us about who you talked to.
