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

Archaeologist Win Scutt reports on a new genetic study that suggests Orkney islanders have Siberian relatives; a chance discovery in Israel of a cave containing rich prehistoric site; two granaries found by archaeologists digging at the famous Roman fort of Vindolanda in Northumberland; discovery of a lost tower by archaeologists working on Oxford Castle's mound; rock carvings discovered in the Canary Islands which may have been connected with astronomical observations; and an amazing ancient site in Sardinia now threatened by development. 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.
