Listen in to host Andrew Kinkella chatting all about pseudo-archaeology! "Did the Egyptians make it all the way to the Grand Canyon? Have I been engaged in a massive conspiracy to cover up secrets? Trust no one (except your common sense)."

As a child of the 80s, Andrew has fond memories of the TV show “In Search Of…” It was chock full of Pseudoarchaeology silliness, but it was so much fun, and super creepy sometimes too! Plus you can never go wrong with 1970s Leonard Nimoy.

Join Jessica and Matilda as they dive into the first installment of a mini series on the everyday archaeology of cutlery, starting with knives! Together, our hosts discuss the difference between swords and knives, the benefits of flint while travelling, and why iron and copper hate each other.
