Recent discussions with colleagues and the February 2024 issue of Advances in Archaeological Practice had Paul thinking about what we do with our digital data. This is an evergreen topic, and one that we’ve touched on before, but is always good to revisit.
TranscriptsThis week we interview Dr. Matthew Harpster about his research using polygons to measure the density of maritime activity in the ancient Mediterranean Sea. He was a guest on the show back in 2020, and 4 years later he returns to discuss his new book that reveals patterns in ancient maritime activity and creates a narrative for this activity based on archaeological data from the sea floor.

TranscriptsArchaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in Alula, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.
ContactOn this episode we bring back Dr. Denisse Argote to talk about some of the new things she and her team are doing in Mexico. We get an update on Teotihuacan and other research. We even talk about ray guns on archaeological sites! Or portable XRF. Either way, it’s great.

These walls span a large distance and range of time and some are contemporaneous with the Great Wall. Gideon talks about the tech they used to map and analyze the miles of walls they’ve found and what’s next for them.

We’re talking about Chacoan road networks again! A few years ago we interviewed Sean Field. He was doing research on the road networks coming into and out of Chaco Canyon. Sean Field is at it again with another paper but this time he’s using Lidar to analyze road profiles. It’s an innovative technique and Chris and Paul discuss it on this week’s show.

We talk to Dr. Markus Eberl about his team’s use of a particle scanner to analyze micro-debitage. They used machine learning to analyze the data set and tried to learn more about early life than we could otherwise.
