This fun preview of two talks to be offered at the Getty Villa by Patrick McGovern reveals the fun-loving side of archaeology which I experienced in person on two dig seasons in Sicily. McGovern, a bioarchaeologist, uses the microscopic trace elements of ancient libations to reconstruct the libations of old. The talks, titled ‘Uncorking the Past’, which will include a beer tasting of a few reconstructed beers are unsurprisingly sold out.
