Win Scutt's 'This Week in Archaeology' [audio 15min @2:30]

Archaeologist Win Scutt reports on the discovery of an accurate portrait of Julius Caesar; the claim by German researchers thaty they have found the Palace of the Queen of Sheba and an altar that may once have held the Ark of the Covenant; the discovery in Korea of what archaeologists think may be the foundations of the oldest wooden Buddhist tower in Asia; the repair work just completed on the largest artificial mound in Europe, in Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, England; a Victorian cobbled street that is to be preserved for the London Olympics; and archaeologists' discovery of bullet cartridges from the Ned Kelly siege. 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.
