Oh hey, it's those discount Halloween socks that you'll buy November 1st and then wear

all year.

Alley Ward back with a spooktober October finale.

That's honestly maybe gonna give me nightmares.

I've already had recurring night terrors about gravesites and tombstones and cemeteries

and burial grounds.

Oh boy, howdy, shiver me timbers.

Now Halloween doesn't get much more than this episode.

Will it be Goth?

Will you be surprised?

Will you never think about some things the same forever?

All of those answers during this delightful discourse with anologist who got her bachelors

in archaeology and a master's in historical archaeology, leading a whole excavation team

for months looking for lost burial grounds from the 1600s.

And she also does ongoing research on gravestone symbols and iconography and preserving historical

burial sites.

So this woman digs graves.

Don't have plans for Halloween?

Don't worry, she's got you covered.

But before we dig in, quick thanks to patrons at patreon.com, suchology is for making the

show possible.

You can join them, you can hop in there for a buck a month.
