Our initial series of guest-posts were written in 2015-2016 and contributions came from a wide variety of people from archaeologists, illustrators, and novelists. Each guest discussed an archaeological site from the perspective of their particular field. What resulted was a fascinating range of articles. A second series will begin in Spring 2021.
