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>
