In this fourteenth episode of Tea-Break Time Travel, Matilda talks all about torcs with expert archaeologist Dr Tess Machling. You might be familiar with these twisted pieces of jewellery, but do you know what they were used for? Who made them? How they developed over time? If the answer is “no”, then don’t worry you’re not alone! But listen in to this episode to hear all about the current theories surrounding these beautifully shiny objects, as well as the pros and cons of working as an independent researcher, and why some artefacts are surprisingly tasty.
