We would never have discovered this without techology
-
0:03 - 0:04How is my mic ?
-
0:05 - 0:08Hey everyone! I’m Manon Bril, and welcome to "It’s a different story"!
-
0:08 - 0:10And finally! Bart is back!
-
0:10 - 0:11He's back!
-
0:12 - 0:13Technology!
-
0:13 - 0:14Future!
-
0:14 - 0:15Yes, I’m going overboard.
-
0:15 - 0:19In the last few months more than ever, technology was very useful
-
0:19 - 0:22to do a whole lot of things that we could not do anymore. Especially meeting with each other.
-
0:22 - 0:25Remotely, sure, but meeting all the same.
-
0:25 - 0:27Or keep having fun, learning, etc.
-
0:27 - 0:31At the same time, we increasingly hear about people who want to break free from technology.
-
0:31 - 0:35To go back to basics, to go offline. And probably quite rightly.
-
0:35 - 0:37Yet, technology is a tool
-
0:37 - 0:40and it all depends on how we use it, I'd like to say.
-
0:40 - 0:42I like to say that with a hammer
-
0:42 - 0:45one can both build things and break things.
-
0:45 - 0:46You see?
-
0:46 - 0:47So deep.
-
0:47 - 0:52Anyway, technology is a tool without which we could not have done many things.
-
0:52 - 0:55And not only confinement apéritifs, but first and foremost
-
0:55 - 0:58well, science, of course!
-
0:58 - 1:00That’s why today, I invite you to discover many things
-
1:00 - 1:03that archaeologists would never have found without technology.
-
1:03 - 1:07If they were still digging using only trowels and pickaxes
-
1:07 - 1:09and drawing on graph paper
-
1:09 - 1:10with their little plumb bobs.
-
1:10 - 1:14Let’s have an overview of those technologies applied to archaeology.
-
1:14 - 1:17Not very thoroughly, but with a lot of cool examples.
-
1:17 - 1:19From space to the depths of the Earth.
-
1:19 - 1:21From the infinitely large to the infinitely small.
-
1:21 - 1:25Well, infinitely large, infinitely small… it’s a figure of speech, but it sounds cool.
-
1:25 - 1:28In any case: yes! We’ll start off in space!
-
1:28 - 1:30Wut? Space, Manon?
-
1:30 - 1:34But isn’t archaeology about scraping around the ground
-
1:34 - 1:36to find information and vestiges?
-
1:36 - 1:40Well, let me tell you, my little chickens, that an important step in archaeology
-
1:40 - 1:41is prospection.
-
1:41 - 1:43Really, this position is anything but natural.
-
1:44 - 1:45And archaeologists got plenty of ways to prospect.
-
1:47 - 1:48A lil’ cat.
-
1:48 - 1:53They can comb through an area to try to spot pieces of ceramics on the surface
-
1:53 - 1:55or fragments of statues laying around.
-
1:55 - 1:59Thanks to technology, they can also try to get an overview
-
1:59 - 2:01to discover sites by using satellites.
-
2:01 - 2:04It’s possible to see ancient human settlements from space
-
2:04 - 2:08provided that there is little vegetation or urban development.
-
2:08 - 2:11This method was tested in South America
-
2:11 - 2:15and made it possible to compare ground surveys with satellite imagery
-
2:15 - 2:18and even to discover unprecedented high-altitude strongholds.
-
2:18 - 2:21It is also possible to discover sites in even more surprising ways
-
2:21 - 2:24in places where you should think twice before going on a stroll.
-
2:24 - 2:25As is the case in Afghanistan.
-
2:25 - 2:28Not always easy to walk around and work there as an archaeologist.
-
2:28 - 2:31Don’t forget that it’s still a zone of conflict.
-
2:31 - 2:35Yet, satellites have produced wonderful pictures
-
2:35 - 2:39of caravanserais, underground canals, or outposts.
-
2:39 - 2:43This changed radically our historical hypotheses on trade
-
2:43 - 2:46because, prior to these discoveries, researchers thought that sea trading routes
-
2:46 - 2:49had rapidly made land routes obsolete.
-
2:49 - 2:53But let’s be honest, the national budget for Arts and Culture doesn’t really allow
-
2:53 - 2:56to launch space programs just for archaeological purposes.
-
2:56 - 2:59This means that such data depends on governmental or commercial satellites
-
2:59 - 3:01that are already orbiting around the Earth.
-
3:01 - 3:04So, when scientists want to have a look at a very specific location
-
3:04 - 3:08but can’t afford to launch or hijack a satellite
-
3:08 - 3:10well, they can resort to planes.
-
3:10 - 3:12And that’s all thanks to technology!
-
3:12 - 3:15We’ve been practicing aerial archaeology for ages.
-
3:15 - 3:17Since Roger Agache in the 60s.
-
3:17 - 3:19And one thing we know is that it works rather well.
-
3:19 - 3:20Aerial pictures are taken in spring
-
3:20 - 3:24because fields will grow and ripen evenly
-
3:24 - 3:29except on top of vestiges or underground ditches where moisture is trapped.
-
3:29 - 3:32The differences in colours will reveal where the constructions are
-
3:32 - 3:35and this way, it’s possible to encompass thousands of hectares all at once.
-
3:35 - 3:36And it’s all thanks to technology.
-
3:36 - 3:40Aerial prospection is not as accurate as an actual archaeological operation
-
3:40 - 3:45but it allows to perceive archaeological structures and density
-
3:45 - 3:47that are beyond the scope of an excavation.
-
3:47 - 3:53Residential areas and their necropolises, land plots, roads and access paths, and so on.
-
3:53 - 3:56This information is highly valuable for the excavation
-
3:56 - 3:57and study of each site.
-
3:57 - 4:00[and this data help improve the national archaeological map]
-
4:00 - 4:07[This map helps public authorities decide whether rescue archeology is needed]
-
4:07 - 4:09And that’s all thanks to technology!
-
4:11 - 4:12Technologyyy!
-
4:12 - 4:16Anyway, a plane is… well technology. Yeah, that’s cool.
-
4:16 - 4:16It fucks the Earth u-
-
4:16 - 4:19Yet, we can go even further using LiDAR.
-
4:19 - 4:22[bad pun with “lit d’art” = art bed
And the French pronunciation of “LiDAR”] -
4:22 - 4:23Ew, nope.
-
4:23 - 4:25“What is LiDAR?” you ask me
-
4:25 - 4:27Well, calm down, I tell you
-
4:27 - 4:29Simply put, it’s a bit like the sonar systems found on ships
-
4:29 - 4:32except here, they don’t use a soundwave but a laser
-
4:32 - 4:37which makes it possible to draw impressively accurate topographic maps.
-
4:37 - 4:41With it, archaeologists can estimate the locations of buildings, developments
-
4:41 - 4:44and even discover things they had not spotted beforehand
-
4:44 - 4:47during the preliminary ground surveys.
-
4:47 - 4:49And it’s all thanks to technology!
-
4:49 - 4:50Here is an example:
-
4:50 - 4:55The abandoned medieval hamlet of Bois des Cestre, in Côte d’Or
-
4:55 - 4:58studied by Franck Faucher, and where the use of LiDAR
-
4:58 - 5:02helped uncover a path connecting a house to a water source.
-
5:02 - 5:05This helped understand a bit more the daily life
-
5:05 - 5:07of the people who lived 300 metres from the well.
-
5:07 - 5:09It was their water supply.
-
5:09 - 5:10That’s the benefit of LiDAR.
-
5:10 - 5:14It can map the ground without being hindered by vegetation
-
5:14 - 5:17which gives a more realistic overview of the area.
-
5:17 - 5:21Another example that got much more media attention and that you’ve probably heard of
-
5:21 - 5:26was the use of LiDAR to uncover about 60,000 Maya infrastructures.
-
5:30 - 5:34This had a huge impact on the way we viewed this civilisation
-
5:34 - 5:37but to learn more on that topic, on that specific example, you can watch the video
-
5:37 - 5:42by Léa Belot on “Zeste de Science”, the channel of the French National Centre for Scientific Research,
-
5:42 - 5:45featuring Clotilde from “Passé Sauvage” who is also an archaeologist.
-
5:45 - 5:48So, the emergence of LiDAR was a real game-changer
-
5:48 - 5:50because before scientists started to use it
-
5:50 - 5:55only 5-to-10% of the structures were identified from ground surveys.
-
5:56 - 5:58Finally, last method to get a bird’s-eye view
-
5:58 - 6:03in case you’re not Elon Musk or the proud owner of an aircraft equipped with LiDAR technology.
-
6:03 - 6:04I’m not.
-
6:04 - 6:07Actually, I’m not even an archaeologist, I don’t know what the hell I would do with it.
-
6:07 - 6:10You can climb up a very tall ladder.
-
6:10 - 6:11Convenient.
-
6:11 - 6:12(it's a joke)
-
6:12 - 6:16As drones are becoming more and more widespread, they are increasingly used on excavation sites.
-
6:16 - 6:19And more particularly, on very large sites.
-
6:19 - 6:22Obviously, drones, just like aircrafts or satellites
-
6:22 - 6:24can be used to do aerial prospection
-
6:24 - 6:28and scientists fly them over areas where they suspect that sites might be buried.
-
6:28 - 6:30And if the site is huge…
-
6:30 - 6:33For instance, the Maya site was 2,100km² (810 square miles).
-
6:33 - 6:34It’s ok.
-
6:34 - 6:38In that case, we can’t get a good overview of the site from the ground.
-
6:38 - 6:42The drone, on the other hand, can get close enough to scan the area with more accuracy.
-
6:42 - 6:44As always, in archaeology
-
6:44 - 6:47you just need to take the tools that best meet your need
-
6:47 - 6:48and it’s…
-
6:49 - 6:51All thanks to technology!
-
6:51 - 6:53You’re so done with this sentence.
-
6:53 - 6:55On top of that, we can say that drones
-
6:55 - 6:58are the best device to take on-site pictures or videos
-
6:58 - 7:02without stepping on what you have just cleaned up to get nice images.
-
7:02 - 7:03It's true.
-
7:03 - 7:06To illustrate this, let’s have a look at the pictures taken by the INRAP
-
7:06 - 7:10the French National Institute for Rescue Archeology
-
7:10 - 7:13with which we are collaborating for this video.
-
7:13 - 7:14We thank them, we’re very happy.
-
7:14 - 7:16Images taken, more particularly, in Puy-de-Dôme
-
7:16 - 7:19on a megalithic site that covers 16,000m² (19,135 square yards).
-
7:19 - 7:22Can you imagine how time-saving that is?
-
7:22 - 7:24To use a drone to take some pictures
-
7:24 - 7:28instead of having to move all your stuff to gain some height and take pictures
-
7:28 - 7:30just to climb down and do it all over again 10 metres away.
-
7:30 - 7:32And it’s all thanks to technology!
-
7:32 - 7:33Technology!
-
7:33 - 7:36The advantage is that, on top of striking a good balance
-
7:36 - 7:39between getting an overview of the vestiges and the precision of the details
-
7:39 - 7:43when you’re at ground-level, it can be hard to understand the chronology of a site
-
7:43 - 7:47or the different stages of construction if you can’t sketch the whole on a plan.
-
7:47 - 7:52The principle of rescue archaeology is to search a site within a limited time
-
7:52 - 7:56before infrastructures, parking lots, highways, etc. are built.
-
7:56 - 7:58And above all, to do it well.
-
7:58 - 8:01We know how to search well. But searching within limited times…
-
8:01 - 8:04Well, quite frankly, when you have a drone that can get the job done in two hours
-
8:04 - 8:06it comes in rather handy.
-
8:06 - 8:07Let’s be honest here.
-
8:07 - 8:09No, no. No dishonesty between us.
-
8:09 - 8:10No, no, no.
-
8:10 - 8:15Another advantage of drones is that by taking pictures and videos of an area in a very short time
-
8:15 - 8:21the light is going to be similar on all of the pictures of the site.
-
8:21 - 8:25First, no shadow will have moved, which won’t difficult our comprehension of the structures.
-
8:25 - 8:29And we also get good-quality pictures with which we can play around
-
8:29 - 8:31but we’ll come back to that once we’ve left the field.
-
8:31 - 8:35So, if you’re a bit scared of flying like I am.
-
8:35 - 8:37Yes. It happens. Even to the best of us.
-
8:37 - 8:42Well, rest assured, we’ll now go back down to that good ol’ ground.
-
8:53 - 8:57More precisely, we’ll go underground.
-
8:58 - 9:02As, you know, excavation techniques have greatly benefited from technology!
-
9:02 - 9:04Did you get that it was the topic of the video?
-
9:04 - 9:09Those technologies and techniques are used by one of the INRAP research units
-
9:09 - 9:12which is responsible for excavating deep archaeological sites.
-
9:13 - 9:15By deep, I mean everything that is below the surface.
-
9:15 - 9:19This implies specific search conditions where light
-
9:19 - 9:22construction props, and water seepage will be major concerns.
-
9:22 - 9:25Or even just having enough space to turn around.
-
9:27 - 9:28Can’t move.
-
9:28 - 9:29Small tunnels.
-
9:30 - 9:34For instance, some statues were found a few metres under the surface at the well of Trémuson.
-
9:34 - 9:37To understand how they got there, archaeologists must use saws
-
9:37 - 9:39and be able to understand the stratigraphy.
-
9:39 - 9:44By using metallic props, ropes, and some speleology techniques
-
9:44 - 9:48the team that studied the well were able to understand better
-
9:48 - 9:51how those statues ended up at the bottom of the well.
-
9:52 - 9:53Maybe you’re thinking:
-
9:53 - 9:55“By the way, why do they bother studying wells?
-
9:55 - 9:58“Isn’t it enough that know that kids from the area came there to get water?”
-
9:58 - 10:02Well, if we just wanted to know where they got water: yes, it’s enough.
-
10:02 - 10:04In fact, wells are valuable archives.
-
10:04 - 10:06As they are designed as water tanks
-
10:06 - 10:09they stay very humid even once they are abandoned
-
10:09 - 10:14and can preserve many items that are useful to understand the surface world
-
10:14 - 10:17So, you can find wood, pollen, animal remains, etc.
-
10:17 - 10:19For example, the INRAP looked into wells in Brittany
-
10:19 - 10:22and were able to extract more than 10,000 samples to study.
-
10:22 - 10:27This way, we know what types of plants and animals lived on the territory
-
10:27 - 10:32and we can paint a picture of what the lifestyle, environment and landscape were like at that time.
-
10:32 - 10:35And it’s all thanks to technology!
-
10:35 - 10:38It’s also possible to go underground, deeper than wells
-
10:38 - 10:41to sometimes hard-to-reach mines and quarries
-
10:41 - 10:44and there is a particular type of deep site archaeology
-
10:44 - 10:47developed specifically for the study of those areas.
-
10:47 - 10:51To uncover those vestiges, archaeologists use the same technology as speleologists
-
10:51 - 10:55but their methods have been adapted to this special underground environment.
-
10:55 - 10:56Thanks to miniaturisation.
-
10:56 - 10:59Mi-nia-tu-ri-sa-tion. Right kiddo, not an easy word to say.
-
10:59 - 11:03Thanks to the miniaturisation and increased autonomy of strong lightning systems
-
11:03 - 11:08the quality of the excavations was increased, and the safety and comfort of archaeologists was ensured.
-
11:08 - 11:13Now, let’s stay a bit longer on the field to explore even further.
-
11:13 - 11:14And, one advice:
-
11:14 - 11:15Put your swimsuit on!
-
11:16 - 11:17(splash)
-
11:17 - 11:20Yes, in the air or underground, it’s alright, you’re on dry land.
-
11:20 - 11:21And you can breathe.
-
11:21 - 11:23But when looking for shipwrecks
-
11:23 - 11:26or ancient human settlements covered by water…
-
11:26 - 11:28Well… you can't.
-
11:28 - 11:29Easy as that.
-
11:29 - 11:33Since 2007, the DRASSM has been working on the topic.
-
11:33 - 11:37It stands for “Department for Underwater and Subaquatic Archaeological Research”.
-
11:37 - 11:39The name speaks for itself.
-
11:39 - 11:42In the last ten years, they have made considerable progress.
-
11:42 - 11:49From the small Speedy, an underwater drone that can grab things with its three-fingered hand.
-
11:49 - 11:50Like E.T.
-
11:50 - 11:51E.T.’s got three fingers.
-
11:51 - 11:55To the atmospheric diving suit which can go up to 300 metres deep.
-
11:55 - 11:59And it’s all thanks to technology!
-
11:59 - 12:04Thanks to all those small improvements, we’re slowly pushing back the limits on the field
-
12:04 - 12:08but don’t forget that in archaeology, there is as much fieldwork as lab work.
-
12:08 - 12:13Yes, let’s now have a look at what happens after excavation works.
-
12:16 - 12:18Let’s go to the lab.
-
12:19 - 12:21Remember when I said that drones and speleology techniques
-
12:21 - 12:23could be useful for many things?
-
12:23 - 12:24Well, we’re coming back to it now.
-
12:24 - 12:27Let’s talk photogrammetry.
-
12:27 - 12:28What is it?
-
12:28 - 12:31Same as ever. I’ll explain it.
-
12:31 - 12:33I’ll tell you everything.
-
12:35 - 12:37Simply put, you take a lot of pictures on a site.
-
12:37 - 12:39Pictures of an object, of a structure…
-
12:39 - 12:42Throw them all in the right software.
-
12:42 - 12:43Hop, shaky shaky
-
12:43 - 12:44And poof!
-
12:44 - 12:45No sponsored products.
-
12:45 - 12:45And poof!
-
12:45 - 12:50You get a 3D model with which you can play around, take measurements
-
12:50 - 12:52highlight some things
-
12:52 - 12:57and compare it with all the models made for other sites.
-
12:57 - 13:00And it’s all thanks to technology.
-
13:00 - 13:01Well done, Bart!
-
13:01 - 13:02It’s all thanks to technology.
-
13:02 - 13:06Alright, put like that, it sounds easy because it’s not very hard to make a 3D model
-
13:06 - 13:11but making a scientifically correct model, it's a different story.
-
13:11 - 13:13Let’s have a look back at the mines we talked about earlier.
-
13:13 - 13:17The goal of that study was to check the reliability of this technique
-
13:17 - 13:19by comparing it to hand-made surveys
-
13:19 - 13:21and to test shooting methods
-
13:21 - 13:24in underground situations where there is no natural light.
-
13:24 - 13:28First, this method helps understand how the mine was built
-
13:28 - 13:32because the 3D model makes it possible to study each modelized gallery from every angle
-
13:32 - 13:36and this showed that the accuracy photogrammetry
-
13:36 - 13:38is similar to that of hand-drawn maps.
-
13:38 - 13:41Another great and fundamental thing with photogrammetry
-
13:41 - 13:44is that it’s possible to artificially light a model.
-
13:44 - 13:49This way, it’s possible to move shadows around to identify relief or woodwork
-
13:49 - 13:49Such as...
-
13:50 - 13:50Beams!
-
13:51 - 13:52And wellheads
-
13:52 - 13:55that are not always easy to spot when you’re facing a wall.
-
13:55 - 13:58So, data on underground structures is obtained from pictures taken by archaeologists
-
13:58 - 14:00and sometimes by robots.
-
14:00 - 14:01But remember, on the surface
-
14:01 - 14:04archaeologists can simply use pictures taken by drones.
-
14:04 - 14:08The models obtained from those pictures are superimposed on the hand-made surveys
-
14:08 - 14:10with a very small margin of error.
-
14:10 - 14:13Depending on the quality of the pictures, it’s possible to zoom in on the models
-
14:13 - 14:17or to use 3D rendering to test out hypotheses
-
14:17 - 14:21and simulate how the local living environment and landscape were.
-
14:21 - 14:23And it’s all thanks to technology.
-
14:23 - 14:24And of course, when talking about archaeology
-
14:24 - 14:29the discovery of tombs or necropolises is a common topic
-
14:29 - 14:32to which photogrammetry benefitted a lot as well.
-
14:32 - 14:36One of the big questions about death rites
-
14:36 - 14:38that archaeologists studying tombs try to answer is:
-
14:38 - 14:41“How do the living honour the deceased during the burial process?”
-
14:41 - 14:44So, they look at how the deceased were treated.
-
14:44 - 14:48We talked a bit about that in the last video on sexism and archaeology.
-
14:48 - 14:52Were they buried? If so, in a casket? In a simple burial shroud?
-
14:52 - 14:55With furniture? Offerings? Etc.
-
14:55 - 14:59Many elements that will impact the position of the bodies.
-
14:59 - 15:04When they decompose, the bones will move and indicate the type of burial
-
15:04 - 15:06and the first position of the deceased.
-
15:06 - 15:07Insane, isn't it?
-
15:07 - 15:10It’s a tad more complicated than that, but you got the idea.
-
15:10 - 15:13Well, thanks to photogrammetry, it’s possible to better study
-
15:13 - 15:18the burial context when excavating the tomb.
-
15:18 - 15:21And here too, the advantage is that it saves a tremendous amount of time.
-
15:21 - 15:23So, photogrammetry is halfway between
-
15:23 - 15:26treatment on the field and analysis in the lab.
-
15:26 - 15:29But now, let’s dive even deeper
-
15:29 - 15:31in the post-excavation world.
-
15:32 - 15:37Speaking about excavating tombs and using new technologies
-
15:37 - 15:39let’s talk about the ancient cat mummy
-
15:39 - 15:41kept at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rennes.
-
15:41 - 15:44And this time, it was studied by using tomography.
-
15:44 - 15:46“What is tomography, Manon?”
-
15:46 - 15:50Well, it’s X-ray scanning each layer of an object
-
15:50 - 15:54depending on the density of the different elements making up those layers.
-
15:54 - 15:58The results were astounding because the analysis revealed
-
15:58 - 16:01the absence of a skull, vertebrae, and ribs
-
16:01 - 16:04and the presence of bones belonging to several cats.
-
16:04 - 16:07For example, there were 5 hind legs, 3 nearly complete cat tails…
-
16:07 - 16:12So, this cat mummy was actually a mummy made of various spare parts.
-
16:12 - 16:13- A sort of puzzle-cat?
-
16:13 - 16:15Yeah, a puzzle-cat or a…
-
16:15 - 16:16Frankencat.
-
16:17 - 16:19Yes, it was a real Frankenstein mummy.
-
16:19 - 16:22There are many hypotheses concerning
-
16:22 - 16:23the motives of this mummification.
-
16:23 - 16:25But it’s only through the development of such studies
-
16:25 - 16:29that we’ll know if this practice was an exception
-
16:29 - 16:32or if it was a common occurrence among pet embalmers.
-
16:32 - 16:37Simply put, with today’s technology, it’s nearly possible to perform autopsies
-
16:37 - 16:41on bodies found on archaeological sites.
-
16:41 - 16:44And it’s all thanks to technology!
-
16:44 - 16:47Now, let’s leave the macabre realm of the dead.
-
16:48 - 16:48Pleonasm.
-
16:48 - 16:52To look at the furniture present in the tombs.
-
16:52 - 16:53Alright, it’s still the world of the dead.
-
16:53 - 16:55Among many famous French tombs
-
16:55 - 16:58the tomb in Lavaux was investigated not long ago.
-
16:58 - 17:00In it, archaeologists found very-high-quality furniture
-
17:00 - 17:04on which they performed a great number of lab tests.
-
17:04 - 17:07They even showed that the torque, a sort of Celtic necklace
-
17:07 - 17:10and the bracelets worn by the deceased in the tomb
-
17:10 - 17:15were polished in some places due to the friction with the skin and/or clothes.
-
17:15 - 17:17Talk about insane details.
-
17:17 - 17:20It shows that, the deceased was buried
-
17:20 - 17:24wearing jewels that they had worn in their daily life.
-
17:24 - 17:28Metal items are also carefully studied
-
17:28 - 17:32to identify the proportions of each metal in the alloys
-
17:32 - 17:36and the crafting techniques: smelting or hammering, for example.
-
17:36 - 17:38In 2017, the CRAHAM
-
17:38 - 17:42the French Centre for Medieval and Ancient Archaeological Research
-
17:42 - 17:45invited an INRAP team to study ceramics
-
17:45 - 17:48from the early High Middle Ages in Île-de-France.
-
17:48 - 17:52After a visual identification of various types of ceramics
-
17:52 - 17:56associated with more than 250 surveyed sites
-
17:56 - 17:59it was possible to measure the chemical elements
-
17:59 - 18:02contained in the terracotta to identify
-
18:02 - 18:06where the clay used to craft these ceramics came from.
-
18:06 - 18:08And it’s all thanks to technology.
-
18:08 - 18:09You know the drill by now.
-
18:09 - 18:13Each clay has its own chemical composition
-
18:13 - 18:16so, when two ceramics share the same chemical composition
-
18:16 - 18:20it can be concluded that the clay used to craft them
-
18:20 - 18:21came from the same area.
-
18:21 - 18:24Therefore, researchers have tried to link the production sites
-
18:24 - 18:28to the diffusion areas, where those potteries were sold
-
18:28 - 18:31by measuring their petrographical composition.
-
18:31 - 18:33That’s how it’s called.
-
18:33 - 18:34I don’t know if I told you.
-
18:34 - 18:36“Petrographical composition”. I don’t think I did, but now you know.
-
18:36 - 18:40So, those were many, many, many, many, many, many, many things
-
18:40 - 18:43that archaeologists would not have discovered without technology.
-
18:43 - 18:45It’s all thanks to technology.
-
18:45 - 18:49You too, during these strange times, as it’s not easy to drive around
-
18:49 - 18:53and find open cultural places or events
-
18:53 - 18:57thanks to technology, you’ll be able to discover a lot of things.
-
18:57 - 18:59What a clever transition.
-
18:59 - 19:02Because this year, the European Archaeology Days,
-
19:02 - 19:06that, each year, allow you to discover archaeological sites and work
-
19:06 - 19:09will be mostly held online.
-
19:09 - 19:13They will be held on June 19, 20, and 21 2020, so, next weekend, then.
-
19:13 - 19:17During those three days, it will be possible to discover archaeological sites
-
19:17 - 19:21through online tours, or 3D rendering
-
19:21 - 19:23talk with archaeologists livestreaming on Facebook
-
19:23 - 19:26follow the work routine of researchers on Twitter
-
19:26 - 19:29and listen to podcasts, watch movies, virtual exhibits…
-
19:29 - 19:32And that’s all thanks to technology!
-
19:32 - 19:35And also, in places where hygiene measures allow it
-
19:35 - 19:38and if you’re close enough, you can visit a site
-
19:38 - 19:43or an archaeological monument, a museum that displays archaeological collections…
-
19:43 - 19:47Friday will be dedicated to classes and children
-
19:47 - 19:51who will enjoy many pedagogical and fun activities.
-
19:51 - 19:55You can find all the info on the site of the European Archaeological Days.
-
19:55 - 19:57Everything is in the description, as usual.
-
19:57 - 20:01We made this video in collaboration with the INRAP which organises those European Days.
-
20:01 - 20:03We thank them very much, we’re very happy!
-
20:03 - 20:05And as for you, my lil’ Wut-ists…
-
20:05 - 20:05W-
-
20:06 - 20:06Wut…
-
20:07 - 20:09Find a name for the community, I trust you guys.
-
20:09 - 20:13Well, many thanks for watching this video, thanks again for being here.
-
20:13 - 20:16A huge thanks to our tippers which allow us to remain autonomous
-
20:16 - 20:19to pay the cameraman when he gets out of confinement.
-
20:22 - 20:27As you know, those who donate on Tipeee or join the Youtube channel
-
20:27 - 20:30will be able to enjoy the animated episodes before everybody else.
-
20:30 - 20:33Remember, I told you we were taking a break for the summer.
-
20:33 - 20:37We’ll come back in September, actually probably in October.
-
20:37 - 20:40Anyway, in the meantime, take care!
-
20:41 - 20:44Here, we’re going to relax, but we send you…
-
20:44 - 20:45Lots of kisses.
-
20:45 - 20:47See you next time. Kiss kiss.
- Title:
- We would never have discovered this without techology
- Description:
-
An overview of technology applied to archeology, from space to the marine depths, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small.
You too, thanks to technology and the #Archeorama operation on June 19 and 21 2020, you can enjoy the European Archaeological Days through many online and sometimes onsite events, when the hygiene measures allow it. You can find all of the details on the website:
https://journees-archeologie.fr/c-2020/accueilThis video was made in collaboration with the INRAP, which organises the event.
https://www.inrap.fr/The script was written by Dari from the channel “Temps Mort” before the serious accusations about him were posted on Twitter, a behaviour that I had absolutely no knowledge of. I mention his name here for intellectual honesty, he was paid for this work etc. but I removed the promotion of his channel from the video because I condemn his acts. I also told him in private and he first contacted me before I knew of the accusations. I want to express my support to the victims. I’ve had more than enough of those violent, abusive and dangerous behaviours that I, like the large majority of women, also had to face
The video on LiDAR from Zeste de Science and Passé Sauvage:
