Cooking With Archaeologists: Food, Fieldwork, And Stories.

Dr. Mikkel Sorensen joins us today at Cooking with Archaeologists! Mikkel is a Professor of Archaeology at the University of Copenhagen where he is an educator and researcher in Arctic prehistory, hunter-gatherer archaeology, and lithic technology. When he is not enjoying himself in Copenhagen you can find him working in Greenland! No, he doesn't excavate Norse sites so stop asking!! That's someone else's job.     In today's podcast, we talk about Mikkel's work with prehistoric sites and finds on Greenland. We also get into the effects that climate change is having on the archaeology of Greenland. From what Mikkel has told us this is a very serious issue right now in the arctic and it needs our full attention!    Finally, Mikkel talks about some of the foods they eat in Greenland from whale to foraged shellfish. He doesn't drop a whale recipe on us but he does share a blue mussel recipe. There is something special about foraging for your own food while in the field. What a great experience!
