Australian Mine Blows up an Archaeological Site - Ep 272

First up this week, we look at why an extremely significant site in Australia was able to be destroyed by a mine, against the wishes of the Traditional Owners. Then, through the efforts of engineering and experimental archaeology, a full size replica of a 4,000 year old ship was launched in Abu Dhabi. And finally, a fragment of red fabric that was dyed with bugs has been found in Israel.
