The Origins Foundation Podcast · Oct 13, 2026 · 49m

Kruger Park is hiding a 1,000-year-old trade story—and the clues are in the bones. Archaeozoologist Dr. Annie Antonites reveals how animal remains, rare Persian Gulf ceramics, and isotope analysis are rewriting what we thought we knew about the people who lived along the Letaba River. From her office at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History, Annie explains how archaeozoology works, why South Africa is an archaeological goldmine, and what bones can tell us about hunting, herd movement, seasonality, and ancient human-animal relationships.
