In this episode, George is joined by archaeologist Professor Duncan Garrow to explore how archaeologists turn fragments of evidence into meaningful stories about the past. From soil layers to artefacts and landscapes, they discuss how we piece together human lives from what remains—and the creativity, curiosity, and pattern recognition that make this possible. The conversation also touches on how different ways of thinking, including neurodivergent traits, can be a real strength in archaeology. And at the heart of it all is uncertainty. Even with careful methods and decades of research, some questions remain unanswered—like how the first Neolithic farmers managed to get cows across the sea to Britain. It’s a light moment, but it captures something essential: Archaeology isn’t just about answers… It’s about embracing the mystery of the past.
