Episode 22 - Tech Kids Club

Dead Kids Club

Taking a break from his vow of silence, Aaron rejoins Lisa and Marie live via satellite to spend an hour talking about all things tech! Gone are the days of your favourite bumbling PhD students bringing you stories about skeletons, holy relics and bog people - now it’s all about tech... But actually, today’s episode is a rather sombre one talking about mass graves. The Dead Kids talk about what exactly mass graves are, how decomposition processes can differ from burials containing only one individual as well as the various contexts in which mass graves might be found. The Kids also discuss how graves are excavated and some of the ways forensic investigators go about trying to determine the identity of the people in the graves. A lot of forensics in this one, but we stay true to our archaeological roots and also give a few examples of mass burials from past battles. Something for everyone! Give us a review on iTunes and we will give you a shout out on the show! Also I think there are stickers now maybe? I don’t know, I’ve been at the monastery for a while, so I am unaware what kind of shenanigans the girls get up to back at the clubhouse. Follow us on Twitter (@deadkidsclubpod) or Instagram (@deadkidsclubpodcast) too for more stuff about death and archaeology content! ALSO, if you like the stuff we’re doing, then maybe you’ll also like some friends of ours over at Southern Spirits Podcast! They drink liquor and talk about ghosts and ghouls and stuff. Perfect for the Halloween season!
