Crime Scenes and Cultures
Join anthropologist Tony Kail and forensic archeologist Steven Katz as they look at the phenomena of culture and its appearance at crime and incident scenes. What happens when public safety agencies find artifacts, walk in on ceremonies or discover unfamiliar shrines at scenes? What can anthropology tell us about religion, magic and witchcraft? Tony and Steven demystify the mysterious and dispel myths by taking listeners into world cultures that are frequently misunderstood. Using cases and incidents from their own files, the Crime Scenes and Cultures podcast joins anthropologists, forensic professionals, and religious practitioners to give an understanding into the incredible diversity of cultures around us.
