Join Jessica and Matilda as they dive into the first installment of a mini series on the everyday archaeology of cutlery, starting with knives! But what exactly is a knife, and how can we recognise it in the archaeological and historic records? Together, our hosts discuss the difference between swords and knives, the benefits of flint while travelling, and why iron and copper hate each other.
