Aotearoa Unearthed is a podcast by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, produced in partnership with the New Zealand Archaeology Association. Jessie and Katharine both feature on the podcast:

  • In the very first episode, Katharine talks about toilets in 19th century Christchurch.

  • In this episode, Jessie delves into the wonderful world of children’s toys in the 19th century.

  • And, in this episode, Katharine talks through the complexities of preserving the post-earthquake archaeological archive.

  • There’s also a great episode featuring Matt Hennessey, talking about his experiences recording buildings in central Christchurch immediately after the earthquakes. This includes Matt reflecting on some of the challenges of working in this environment.
