Nancy Gonlin on Nocturne

Nancy Gonlin, coeditor of all three books in the Ancient Nights Trilogy (Archaeology of the Night, Night and Darkness in Ancient Mesoamerica, and After Dark) was a featured guest on Nocturne- a hybrid form of audio storytelling that blends elements of documentary, fiction and sound-art produced by Vanessa Lowe.

Nightways, by Vanessa Lowe on May 22, 2023. Until fairly recently, there was no distinct focus on the archeology of the night. Lacking a specific nighttime lens through which to view relics from the past, archeologists had been missing an opportunity to capture a whole complete portrait of ancient people’s lives. It was kind of like painting a picture and filling in only half the canvas.
