Mayan Ballgame, Mummy Tags and a Hopewell Site - Ep 214

This week we cover three recent archaeology news stories. First up is a ball game carving found at Chichen Itza in Mexico. Then we head over to Egypt where mummy tags are used to reconstruct the ancient climate. And finally bridge construction in Ohio has prompted the excavation of a Hopewell Hamlet.
