Win Scutt on 'This Week in Archaeology' [audio 15min @ 1:50]

Archaeologist Win Scutt discusses research on what Neanderthal people ate; DNA analyses revealing that the early human (Homo sapiens) population of Africa was split into two for many thousands of years; archaeologists uncovering in Eastern Turkey a temple with huge carved stone pillars, built before farming replaced hunting, and 7,000 years older than Stonehenge; Egyptian archaeologists planning to excavate the tomb of Cleopatra and Mark Antony; and the identification of descendants of Canada's iceman. Scutt's "This Week in the World of Archaeology" news feature is part of BBC Radio 5 Live's popular "Up All Night" programme. Interviewed by presenter Rhod Sharp, Scutt offers 15 minutes of archaeology each Tuesday, reaching over 1 million visitors who are mad enough to stay up to 3.30am GMT to listen. In 2006 Scutt's Radio 5 Live reports scooped a prize at the British Archaeological Awards, the most prestigious awards in British Archaeology, where the judges were impressed by the wide-ranging nature of the archaeology that Scutt presents.
