Show Notes
Instead of chippin' away today, let's stack some stones! ;)
What does the Iron Age in South Asia look like? What do we collectively know about the ancient cultures that built imposing monuments with big rocks and boulders? Let's journey into the iron age of South Asia, and the megalith culture of the subcontinent.  

We are joined by Dr. Oishi Roy who studied the megalithic culture of the Vidarbha region in India, for her Ph.D. She studies the bygone era by adopting ethnoarchaeological methods. Listen to the episode as she brings the nuances of megalithic life in the past by interviewing modern communities that continue the iron-working traditions of the past.
