💧EP051 GUEST EPISODE (5/8) Toilets and Waste in Andalusia

  • Summary

  • You can’t think about clean water without also thinking about removing dirty water and other waste. In this episode we take a deep dive into sewage (figuratively speaking) on the basis of excavations and documents that survive about cities in Muslim Spain in the Middle Ages.

    Speaker: Ieva Rèklaityte. Interviewer: Edmund Hayes.

    Ieva Reklaityte is an independent researcher. She graduated in Archaeology at the University of Vilnius, Lithuania, and did her PhD thesis at the University of Saragossa in Spain.

    This episode was produced by Edmund Hayes and Jouke Heringa.
