About this listen
Jim and Brenna are joined by Prof Dave Robinson to discuss the Archaeology of... drugs, yes we’ve gone for sensationalism in only the 2nd episode.
Dave discuses one of the first confirmed archaeological findings of hallucinogens with rock art, in California. Jim and Brenna learn some cool new words, including entheogen, why they really shouldn’t take datura and get shocked by drugged hawkmoths! We delve into the deep appreciation of hallucinogenic plants, for many purposes including medicine, and hear how Indigenous American people discuss how these might have been used at rock art sites, along with the link between a rock art site, drugs, midsummer solstice and even those intriguing hawkmoths.
The Archaeology of.. is produced by the Archaeology team from the University of Lancashire. It is presented by Drs James Morris and Brenna Hassett. Filming and editing by Mariusz Kuczaj.
