Conservation and Restoration of Archaeological Materials
Ancient Roman beach buried by eruption of Mount Vesuvius reopens to public after restoration An ancient Roman beach buried nearly 2,000 years ago by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius has reopened to the public at the Herculaneum Archaeological Park in southern Italy. The reopening follows extensive conservation efforts aimed at restoring the beach to its pre-eruption condition. The CE 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius was a catastrophic event that devastated the busy city of Pompeii and the upmarket resort town of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was rediscovered in the early 18th century during the digging of a well...

Rare 14th-century gauntlet unearthed in Oslo’s medieval harbor A rare iron gauntlet from the 14th century has been unearthed during an archaeological excavation at Oslo’s former harbor, adding to the rich tapestry of discoveries made in the area. This exceptional find was made by archaeologists from the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU), who have been excavating the Bispevika area since 2019. The recent find of a rare iron gauntlet, possibly belonging to a medieval knight, was a surprising and valuable discovery. These gauntlets, typically made of iron, were designed to protect the hands and wrists of soldiers and knights who had upgraded from chainmail to plate armor in the early 14th century. However, such finds are exceedingly rare due to the rapid corrosion of metal and the medieval practice of recycling and reforging iron...

Late Roman shipwreck off the coast of Mallorca reveals new type of amphora A recent study published in the journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences reveals significant findings from the examination of a late Roman shipwreck discovered off the coast of Mallorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands. This shipwreck, located just 65 meters from a popular tourist beach near Palma, the capital of Mallorca, has drawn attention for its exceptional preservation and intriguing cargo. One of the key findings of the study is the identification of a new type of amphora, named Ses Fontanelles I, which was found exclusively in this wreck. Remarkably larger and heavier than its counterparts, this newly identified amphora was primarily utilized for carrying plant oil...

Intact Bronze Age urn found during excavation near Ely, Cambridgeshire Archaeological experts from Britannia Archaeology have uncovered a treasure trove of history during a year-long excavation near Ely, Cambridgeshire, UK. Initially, this excavation was expected to be a short-term project but instead revealed evidence of human occupation spanning thousands of years. One of the most extraordinary finds at the site is an almost entirely intact 35cm-high late Neolithic or early Bronze Age urn, dating back approximately 4,000 years. Not only did archaeologists uncover this pristine Bronze Age urn, but they also revealed a previously unknown Saxon village, complete with a “substantial hall.” Furthermore, the excavation uncovered evidence of industrial use, such as loom weights, spindle whorls, needles, and minuscule beads...

Stonehenge continues to fascinate and befuddle archeologists and scientists. Understanding its true ritual purpose and identifying where all the rocks came from has perplexed scientists for over 200 hundred years. It’s certainly not a settlement site, rather one of ceremony or burial. Stonehenge, estimated to have been constructed 5000 years ago, has “stones forming different circles brought to the site at different times. The placement of stones allows for the sun to rise through a stone “window” during summer solstice. The ancient purpose of the altar stone—which lies flat at the heart of Stonehenge, now beneath other rocks—remains a mystery.” https://buff.ly/4fY3crh While some of the stones are local to southwestern England, the altar stone is believed to have come from nearby Wales. However, a new study using mass-spectrometry, which appeared in Nature, finds a match for the rock in the sandstone formations of Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, 750 km away! The debate now is whether the 16-foot stone was ferried by boat or carried over land. Whichever way, this sheds new light on the Neolithic society of the time. It shows they were societally organized, skilled, and advanced enough to have developed an intra-Britain transportation system. #stonehenge #science #Neolithic #archeology #spectrometry #wales #scotland

I help companies solve problems using image based solutions - Chief Evangelist & Developer Advocate @ EveryPoint
What role will radiance fields play in the world of archeology? This is a gaussian splat scene of Sagalassos in Turkey. With enough image coverage, you could virtually view this scene from any direction. Unfortunately, I did not have the scene captured from enough directions. You can see this at the end of the video. Gaussian splatting isn't magic, it only recreates the scene accurately within a specific proximity of the source imagery. I plan to explore this concept in additional videos coming soon. This post is part of my 100 Days of Splats where I will be posting a new gaussian splat scene every day for 100 days. Follow along if you like this content! #ComputerVision #Archeology #Geospatial #3D #100DaysOfSplats

Unearthing Humanity: Conversation as Reverse Archaeology ⛏️ In archaeology, we meticulously dig through layers of earth to uncover the stories of the past. But there's another way to unearth the richness of human experience. Conversation. Conversation, in many ways, is a form of reverse archaeology. We delve into the minds of others, adding another layer of dialog while extracting another layer of history, learning more with each question and response. We brush away the surface-level pleasantries to uncover the values, beliefs, and experiences that make people who they are. Through conversation, we uncover hidden artifacts from a person's life and history, we 'carbon date' our assumptions, challenge our own biases and preconceived notions to allow for different narratives and perspectives, and finally, we piece together the puzzle of a person's life, by adjoining the things that make them who they are. The more we converse, the richer the tapestry of humanity we weave. Dig deeper. It's worth it. #Conversationdesign #communication #relationships #peoplefirst #chatbots #Archeology
