In this episode of Fabulous Folklore Presents, I'm talking to archaeologist Wayne Perkins, who worked as a field archaeologist before moving into Historic Building Surveys. He supervises urban excavations in the City of London, as well as overseeing rural excavations in surrounding Sussex, Surrey, and Kent.
He has a new book coming out this month, A Consensus of Symbols: Patterns, and Ritual Building Protection, so I thought I'd get him on to talk about apotropaic measures, deposited objects like boots or shoes, mummified cats, and yes, you guessed it, witch marks!
