Another Vamp Bites the Dust (part 1) - Trowel 17

In their latest quest, Tilly and Ash have to deal with quite a delicate situation, as construction of the latest housing project by Helsing Homes uncovers the burials of possible vampire hunters, including bags of vampire teeth… Luckily, they can enlist the help of special guest Jessica van Dam - an ex-osteoarchaeologist who researched teeth in particular. Together, they discuss the difference between forensic anthropology and osteoarchaeology, the development of folklores of vampirism, and why women always seem to be so maligned…Links Jessica’s Website Jessica’s LinkedIn Article on "The Real Vampires of Europe" Article on the New England Vampire PanicContact Email: andmytrowel@gmail.com Instagram: @‌and.my.trowelTranscripts For rough transcripts of this episode, go to: https://www.archpodnet.com/trowel/17ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724Affiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion Liquid I.V.Ready to shop better hydration, use my special link https://zen.ai/thearchaeologypodnetworkfeed to save 20% off anything you order.
