    It’s the Pie episode! Ep 314
    Sep 1 2025
    In this special “Strat Chat” edition of The Archaeology Show, we dig into the layers of history behind “pi” and “pie” in honor of episode 314. First, we explore the origins of fruit pies, tracing their journey from ancient Egyptian tombs to medieval feasts and early American kitchens. Next, we unravel the story of the number pi (π), highlighting how ancient civilizations discovered and used this mathematical constant in everything from monuments to pottery. Finally, we bite into the history of meat pies, uncovering their role in ancient diets and how they evolved into a global comfort food. Join us for a flavorful journey through time, where archaeology and culinary history meet in every slice!LinksSegment 1: The History and Origin of Fruit PiesPie: A Global History by Janet ClarksonThe Forme of Cury (14th-century English cookbook)Oxford Companion to FoodBritish Museum: Archaeology of Ancient EgyptYork Archaeological Trust: Medieval KitchensFood in Medieval England by C.M.

    PROMO - The Archaeology of Boudica pt 1: Late Iron Age Britain and the Iceni - TPM 17
    Aug 18 2025

    The Archaeology Show is taking a break this week, so please enjoy this episode of The Past Macabre, another excellent show on The Archaeology Podcast Network.

    In this first of a two-part series, The Past Macabre travels back to Late Iron Age Britain before the Roman conquest to explore the world that shaped one of history’s most famous warrior queens: Boudica. Her story has been told many times for nearly two millennia, but what is the truth behind the Celtic warrior queen who stood against Rome? Uncover the archaeology of her tribe the Iceni, from sacred sites, workshops, and homesteads. We’ll explore the first contacts between Rome and Britain as early as the 2nd century BCE to Caesar’s failed invasion in 54 BCE and the uneasy alliances that turned native leaders into Roman client-kings. Then we'll look at how growing disunity amongst the Celts paved the way for Emperor Claudius' invasion in 43 CE.

    Learn about the hoards of treasure, settlements, burials, and hillforts found across England and what they can tell us about the world Boudica was born into at a time of rapid social, economic, and political change.
