| Description | At first glance, doing Christian archaeology of the early Middle Ages in what is now Iraq may seem like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even archaeologist Karel Nováček, a guest on episode 44 of the podcast, originally came to the area in search of Islamic monuments. To his own surprise, however, he instead discovered the remains of one of the oldest Christian provinces ever. What is the history of the Christian community in this area? Why are archaeologists holding off on excavating? And what does fig wine taste like? Archaeologist Jiří Macháček and art historian Ivan Foletti talk about this too! |
