My co-host and I host a podcast called Archaeology Books for Fun, where we read archaeology and history books and then talk about what we learned, what we liked, and occasionally, what we thought the authors got wrong.

We're about to start a book about Native American earthworks and archaeoastronomy, which got us thinking:

What's a historical or archaeological topic you wish more podcasts would cover?

It can be a particular civilization, archaeological site, historical period, person, culture, or even a topic you think gets overlooked in popular history.

We're always looking for new things to learn about, so I'd love to hear what everyone here is interested in!

North America's Indigenous earthworks are incredible, and I feel like they don't get nearly enough attention in popular discussions of archaeology.

What's an Indigenous archaeological site or earthwork that you think more people should know about? It can be famous or obscure.

We are curious—what ancient civilization do you find the most fascinating, and why?

Everyone knows about Ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece, but I'd love to hear about civilizations that don't get as much attention too. Is there one you wish more people knew about? What draws you to it—the archaeology, the history, the mysteries, the art, the engineering, or something else?

We are always looking for interesting topics to dive deeper into, so I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with.

Hi all, we are an archaeology book club style podcast. We are out of Florida, but the great thing about a pod is that we don't have to remain Florida-centric with our topics. I was wondering if you all had any good archaeology book recommendations that non-archaeologists will enjoy? We have read the good, the bad, and the ugly. Our audience seems to enjoy our conversations most when we read books with bad archaeology. Apparently they like it when we get upset LOL. So almost nothing is off limits, as long as it is appropriate for a general audience and not offensive, etc. We have done both fiction and non-fiction in the past.

Hi all, I just wanted to briefly introduce our podcast, Archaeology Books for Fun. The co-hosts are professional archaeologists and book nerds. We read books about archaeology that are written for a general audience and then discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly from our professional viewpoint. We have been going for almost three years and have done a variety of both fiction and non-fiction, discussing everything from murder mysteries on archaeological sites, to looting in Peru, to Florida's official state artifact! Check us out and let us know what you think! And if you have any good book recommendations send them our way as well!
