Welcome to Archaeo-Chat. In this series we record unscripted conversations about archaeology, what it is like to be an archaeologist and related topics.
Today, Aaron and I discuss proposed legislation in Wales which could see a step-change in the way ancient monuments are cared for. We also examine the aftermath of the earthquakes in Nepal and their effect on ancient sites and monuments.
