Science Communicators of TikTok: Nicholas Carbone (@DigThePast) - Ep 97

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we chat with Tiktok personality and recent graduate Nicholas Carbone. We start off by talking about his earliest experiences with archaeology and his inspiration for pursuing the discipline. We then chat about Titanic and how some of us were not allowed to watch the second VHS (yes we are that old). Nicholas then discusses his field school and other archaeological opportunities afforded to him during his undergraduate degree. We finish off by discussing his TikTok channel and why he is inspired to teach people about the past. Interested in learning about how to use X-Rays and similar technology in archaeology?
