Immaterial: Trash: The archaeology of rubbish., Season 2, Episode 6
An archaeologist and an artist walk into a dump…
For most of us, we throw our garbage to the curb, and it disappears from our lives. But to some, that’s just the beginning of trash’s story. In this episode, we follow two people who seek the truth in trash—an archaeologist who excavates ancient rubbish in Turkmenistan and an artist who spotlights the people responsible for making trash vanish.
