Follow archaeologist Lisa Randisi (UCL / Petrie Museum) on a journey into the Western Mongolian steppe, where she has spent the past 10 years investigating heritage and continuity amongst nomadic-pastoralists. This is a journey like no other - through sand storms, snow storms, thunderstorms, leech-infested lakes, regional elections and excessive consumption of fermented mare's milk. Between high-stakes excavations, clashes with local government, horse thievery and haunted cairns, join us as we travel through post-Soviet Mongolia and all the way back to prehistory, to find the roots of animal domestication and practices that date back thousands of years - practices that may well be the key to the survival of our species. Lisa Randisi is a public archaeologist and museum curator whose career in the field has taken her to Mongolia, Siberia and the Middle East. She has researched, variously, the politics of heritage, the role of women in the history of archaeology, 19th century ephemera, the Golden Age of piracy and Mongolian attitudes to the past. Her work in Western Mongolia currently focuses on social memory and the contemporary relevance of heritage.
