0Welcome to Archaeo-Chat. In this series we record unscripted conversations about archaeology, what it is like to be an archaeologist and related topics.
Today, Jeannette and I discuss some of the issues surrounding the recent focus on Confederate Monuments in the US. Does Toppling Statues = Erasing History?

Note:
Likes and dislikes have been disabled for this video because actual conversation on the topic of the history of the monuments is what we're hoping for.
Hopefully, in watching the whole video, it'll be clear that politics is not actually the focus of this discussion.
This isn't a simple 'like' 'dislike' topic. It's not a party political issue. It's about the history and the anthropology of people and monuments.
