Curse Tablets, Ice Skates and the Archaeology of Childhood - Ep 258
This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First up, "curse tablets" were found at a Roman villa in the UK. Then, a 1,000 year old bone ice skate was found at a site in the Czech Republic. And finally, we have a discussion about the length of childhood in humans, and how it evolved to be that way and the somewhat overlooked archaeology of childhood.\n\nLinks\n\n * Mysterious 'curse tablets' and 'sophisticated' paintings found at ancient Roman site [https://apple.news/AmYudplHESq-bSzMDX5_i3A]\n * Archaeologists Unearth 1,000-Year-Old Ice Skate Made of Animal Bone in Czech Republic [https://apple.news/AUE3obqqpR6uptsJroYgKIw]\n * Grow Slow: Human childhood is uniquely protracted.
