X Marks the Spot: Stories of Unlocking the Secrets of Our Past: Uncovering the physical remains of our past is a quintessential human itch: the pursuit of every society from the ancients through to today. But the stories behind archaeological exploration and discovery – what we look for when, what we end up finding, and what we then do with it – tell us as much about ourselves today, and the future directions we want to take, as they do about the past. In short, the past, as the saying goes, ‘is never dead, it’s not even past.’ In this talk, Prof Michael Scott dives into some of the most exciting archaeological discoveries of the last 200 yeras.
