Time Travel Through Historical Eras
00:00:17
Speaker
Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Back to the medieval period, to see the earliest printing press or spinning wheel? To the Bronze Age, watching from the sidelines as a blacksmith hammers out a beautiful leaf-shaped blade? How about the early Neolithic to learn how to nap that perfect stone hand axe? Or even all the way back to the Paleolithic to witness the creation of the earliest ever clay object?
Launch of 'Tea Break Time Travel' Podcast
00:00:41
Speaker
Well, you're in luck. My name is Matilda Siebrecht. I am an archaeologist and journalist, and I will be hosting a brand new archaeology podcast network series called Tea Break Time Travel. Every episode released on the fourth Tuesday of the month, I will be joined on my tea break by a guest with expert knowledge on a particular archaeological object.
Influence of Objects on Human History
00:01:02
Speaker
These guests will include both archaeological researchers, as well as professional craftspeople with experience in traditional technologies.
00:01:10
Speaker
Together, we will travel back in time, discussing the object itself as well as the cultures and environments surrounding its creation and use. Objects aren't just passive things. Look at the objects surrounding you now. I can guarantee that every single one of them influences your actions, either through the way that you interact with them or the way that they affect your decisions.
Understanding Ancient Lifestyles
00:01:32
Speaker
This influence has been around for thousands of years. We are an object-loving species, and it is through looking at how people in the past interacted with the things they created that we can truly start to understand how they lived. Not just survived, but lived. So, plug in your headphones, grab your hot beverage of choice, and settle down for a journey back in time.
