Today on the podcast, we’re talking about archaeology and an artifact class that I nerd out over every time - pottery! We’re trekking back to 17th-century Liverpool with Dr. Liz Stewart, who researches the work and lives of the pottery artisans who lived in Rainford, a nearby village that played a key role in the emergence of Liverpool as a major international port. And you thought the Beatles were the first big thing out of Liverpool... Time to fire up the kiln and get right to it! (recorded over zoom) Music by Yo Yo Ma
