July 25, 2022 Thad P says:
How does a carnelian bead carved in India wind up in the English midlands 1,000 years ago? Glad you asked. A great storyteller tells a great story.
An acclaimed bioarchaeologist traces the path of an ancient piece of jewelry found in a Viking grave in England back to eighth-century Baghdad and India, explaining that the Vikings' route may have been far more varied than previously known.

Thad P

I work in the circulation department. I read mostly history, nonfiction and science (geology nerd here), but also enjoy a good mystery or a sci-fi/fantasy excursion. I love nature and my personal version of heaven is a cabin in the woods with the sun setting, a fire going and a stack of good books still waiting to be read.
