This fortnight we’re joined by Dr. Matt Betts, the Curator of Eastern Archaeology at the Canadian Museum of History and the former head of the Canadian Archaeology Association’s Climate Change Committee to talk about some of the climate threats to the terrestrial and underwater archaeological record. Matt discusses the analytical challenges and inequalities introduced by climate change’s effects on the archaeological record, and calls for a renewed commitment to culture history.
