Volcanic eruption in Alaska linked to social conflict in ancient Egypt? - With Dr Joe Manning - S2E6

<p>Historical accounts, archaeological data and recent environmental research brought to light multiple accounts, where the fates of entire civilizations have been affected by climatic events and resulting social conflict. In this episode of archaeological context, we focus on the first century BCE in the eastern Mediterranean region. A period marked by the end of the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Recent multidisciplinary research by the guest of this episode, Dr Joe Manning from the Yale University, has highlighted the pivotal role played by a massive volcanic eruption in Alaska and resulting climatic fluctuations, that likely helped to trigger this transformative moment in the middle of the first century BCE.</p><h2>Show Contact Info</h2><ul> <li>Get in contact <a href="mailto:archaeologicalcontext@gmail.com">archaeologicalcontext@gmail.com</a></li> <li>Subscribe on YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@archcontext">https://www.youtube.com/@archcontext</a></li> <li>Follow on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/archaeological_context/">https://www.instagram.com/archaeological_context/</a></li> <li>Support on patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/archcontext">https://www.patreon.com/archcontext</a></li> <li>Music by crying vessel<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CryingVesselVideo">https://www.youtube.com/user/CryingVesselVideo</a></li></ul><h2>ArchPodNet</h2><ul> <li>APN Website: <a href="https://www.archpodnet.com/">https://www.archpodnet.com</a></li> <li>APN on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet">https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet</a></li> <li>APN on Twitter: <a href="https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet">https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet</a></li> <li>APN on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet">https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724">Tee Public Store</a></li></ul><h2>Affiliates</h2><ul> <li>Motion: <a href="https://www.archpodnet.com/motion">https://www.archpodnet.com/motion</a></li></ul>

Uncovering the history of the Christiansborg colonial fort in Ghana – With Prof Fritz Biveridge - S2E4

<p>In this special episode of archaeological context, I want to highlight a bit of a different topic, as we will focus on a time period and especially geographical region, not often featured in archaeological discussions: A 17thcentury UNESCO world heritage site, located on the Westcoast of Africa. Specifically, we will explore Christiansborg Castle in Osu, a suburb of Accra, the capitol of Ghana. I aim to cover the interesting and dark history, as well as results of recent excavations and I had the pleasure to talk about this with Prof Fritz Biveridge from the University of Ghana.</p><h2><strong>Show Contact Info</strong></h2><ul> <li>Get in contact <a href="mailto:archaeologicalcontext@gmail.com">archaeologicalcontext@gmail.com</a></li> <li>Subscribe on YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@archcontext">https://www.youtube.com/@archcontext</a></li> <li>Follow on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/archaeological_context/">https://www.instagram.com/archaeological_context/</a></li> <li>Support on patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/archcontext">https://www.patreon.com/archcontext</a></li> <li>Music by crying vessel<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CryingVesselVideo">https://www.youtube.com/user/CryingVesselVideo</a></li></ul><h2><strong>ArchPodNet</strong></h2><ul> <li>APN Website: <a href="https://www.archpodnet.com/">https://www.archpodnet.com</a></li> <li>APN on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet">https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet</a></li> <li>APN on Twitter: <a href="https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet">https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet</a></li> <li>APN on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet">https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724">Tee Public Store</a></li></ul><h2><strong>Affiliates</strong></h2><ul> <li>Motion: <a href="https://www.archpodnet.com/motion">https://www.archpodnet.com/motion</a></li></ul>
