Pride and Prejudice and Radiocarbon dating - Trowel 26

Our hosts Ash and Tilly face a tough quest this episode, because they’ve been tasking with dating zombies. Discovering how long they’ve been dead, that is! To do this, they discuss the different methods of dating bodies in the archaeological record, and answer all those burning questions like “what is an isotope?” “What is voodoo?” And “what would happen if you took a zombie shopping?” Links A Zombie is a Slave Forever (article by Dr Amy Wilentz) History of Zombies article Nobel prize lecture from William Libby Detailed paper on the marine reservoir effect Case study demonstrating marine reservoir effect Detailed article on the history of radiocarbon dating Paper on radiocarbon dating Contact Email: [email protected] Instagram: @‌and.my.trowel Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode, go to: https://www.archpodnet.com/trowel/26 ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724 Affiliates Motion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
