In Dig the beat, Sara Cohen, Brett Lashua and John Schofield go to Liverpool to ask what happens when popular music making is examined from an archaeological perspective. To accompany this feature they have created a soundtrack specially for British Archaeology readers, with an eclectic playlist of music encountered during the Popular Musicscapes project (2007–09). Some tracks were recorded at the School of Music Studios, University of Liverpool, through collaboration between Lashua and participating musicians (mainly rock and hip hop). Others were acquired through historical and archival research. There are 17 tracks altogether, ranging from urban and indie rock to boogie woogie, radical folk and country rock. They can be downloaded from the University of Liverpool free of charge.
