episode 160: Pigging out in Jerusalem: Did ancient Israelites really eat pork?
Host Simon Spungin is joined by Haaretz’s senior editor for archaeology and science, Ruth Schuster, and archaeology correspondent Ariel David. The panel discusses the discovery of piglet skeleton in a First Temple-period home in Jerusalem. We ask: Does this mean that the Israelites ignored the prohibition against eating pork and what does it tell us about when Judaism as we know it was born? PLUS: A new type of human found in Nesher Ramla, Israel's unnoticed killer heat and dog poop DNA in Tel Aviv.
