Maybe this is the part of our conversation that surprised me most.
podcast-host
I would have assumed there was a lot of evidence of violence on the remains analysed from Ranala, but what surprised me is how rare it was.
podcast-host
It was certainly more common than today, but in the wider scheme of

podcast-host
Here she's talking about the person whose body had been burned after death.
