Episode 74
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Tilly and Ash are back with Dr Adrián Maldonado to uncover the archaeological layers of The Hobbit! We discuss the archaeological process of excavation and recording a hoard and ask some surprising questions: are the Trolls even plunderers? Has Elrond let his familial ties to the material culture ruin the runic report of Gondolin swords? Have we got the Trolls entirely wrong this entire time?
