09:30 Radio carbon dating - Aussie skull
Dr Fiona Petchey, radio carbon dating anthropologist.
The discovery of a skull on one of Sydney's northern beaches posed a real mystery for Australian detectives, prompting them to seek help from anthropologists at Waikato University. The university's radio carbon dating unit dated the skull at about 700 years old. Police have now concluded that they are not dealing with a crime and that the skull probably belongs to a museum, a private collector or a research facility - although no one has claimed it.

10 September
Best-selling British crime writer Simon Kernick has been described as "Britain's most exciting new thriller writer". His debut novel was The Business of Dying (2002), and his ninth and latest thriller, The Last 10 Seconds, came out in August.
His books centre on the murky underbelly of London, a world of drug lords, hit men, bent cops, pimps and prostitutes.
He draws both on his own personal experiences and does extensive research, speaking with members of the UK's anti crime organisations such as the Special Branch, the Anti-Terrorist Branch and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.
Kernick is visiting New Zealand as part of the Christchurch Writer's Festival.
