What "archaeology" film set Colin off? To find out, check out our latest episode at movieswedig.com or wherever you like to listen to your podcasts. For our Wrap-Up episode, we reflect on our season surveying archaeology in film. Listen in to hear our official tier rankings of every archaeology film (that we've covered). We also end the show with a fun guessing game about AI's interpretation of our own body of work.

And if you'd like to make your own tier-list of "archaeology" films discussed on Movies We Dig, you can do so here: https://tiermaker.com/list/movies/archaeology-in-films-popular-media-18622188/5560763
Be sure to tag us on your tier list if you share it on your socials! And let us know if there are any "archaeology" films or shows we missed. Maybe we'll check them out as part of Season 6's "Unfinished Business." We hope you dig it!

Grab your trowels, apply your sunscreen and get ready to get down and dirty as we chat with author Kate Myers () about her smash-hit novel Excavations. We talk all things : dirt, artifacts, repatriation, dirt, organized crime, horse-loving donkeys, more dirt and all the character types that seem to crawl out of the woodwork every summer to dig in remote Mediterranean villages. Listen now at movieswedig.com or wherever you like to get your podcasts!

You can read more about Kate on her website at katemyersisanauthor.com; be sure to read her latest book, Salty, and look out for Dig, the upcoming television adaptation of Excavations created by Amy Poehler () and Michael Schur.
