Pre History - the archaeology of the ancient Near East
PreHistoryPodcastThe Near East - the region known politically as the Middle East - is the home of both a long and eventful history as well as a much longer and fascinating prehistory.

Beautifully clear, concise, intelligible survey of the archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean/Levant/Near East or whatever you want to call that incredibly important nexus of human history. I love this podcast, and wish I knew whom to thank for it! Don't miss the supplementary materials--helpful photos, videos, and references--on the podcast website.

I’m on my third or fourth round of listening to all of the episodes. Give it 6 months or so between listening and I’ve forgotten large amounts of what I had learned last time. I find the history of early people and people species fascinating, and Jane does a fantastic job of making a lot of information readily available. It makes me excited to see how much more we learn over the coming decades! I hope there will be more episodes, but even if there are not, this is a fantastic introduction to ear... more
Apple Podcasts5QuinnhollyUnited States5 months ago - Excellent podcast
I found this just a few months ago. I’ve been working my way through prehistory - Teaching Company courses and Tides of History primarily. This focused podcast gave clearer explanations for things than I’ve gotten from any other source. I studiously listened to every episode over the last 10 weeks. Thank you Ms. Gaastra, and I hope your PhD studies allow you continue soon.
