Archaeocafé - Episode 2 - Revealing ancient lifestyles: An interview with Mariuca Vornicu

In this episode, I talk with Mariuca Vornicu about her work in revealing ancient lifestyles through the analysis of stone tools. We also discuss how archaeology and prehistory are portrayed in movies and in the news.
