Comment | Why drones are a game-changer for archaeologists protecting heritage sites (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Archaeologists across the world are setting aside their trowels to become drone pilots. No longer just a novel method of snapping photographs from the air, this evolving technology is now transforming how experts discover, monitor, and protect world heritage. In Peru, for example, a team has recently used drones to monitor nine archaeological sites, revealing how both natural hazards and human activities are impacting them over time. By flying over the same sites in the Barranca Valleys and reco
Comment | Archaeology can offer lessons for future space colonies—but we must protect existing lunar heritage first (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On 19 November 1969, Apollo 12 landed on the moon. Without the astronauts realising, the rocket exhaust that slowed their lander’s descent threw up moon dust with such intensity that it “sandblasted” the 1967 Surveyor 3 probe, 155m away, leaving parts of it pitted with craters. It is a striking example of how far and fast lunar dust is flung by landing spacecraft—and a warning that, even on the moon, cultural heritage is not safe. Faced with such challenges, in 2011 Nasa published its recommenda
Newly discovered standing stones in France shed light on the ancient megalith builders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over 6,000 years ago, farmers in Brittany, western France, erected around 3,000 stones in long rows, stretching for more than 4km across what is today the town of Carnac. These builders made sure to place shorter stones at the east side of the arrangement and taller ones to the west, some standing nearly 4m tall, and erected others in the shape of semicircular and rectangular enclosures. They also built hearths beside the stones’ irregular granite forms, perhaps for cooking or simply for light,
Name of ancient Maya astronomer-mathematician deciphered for the first time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Archaeologists working in Guatemala have identified the name of a Maya mathematician-astronomer who lived around 1,250 years ago. The name is written at the end of a unique mathematical formula on the wall of a building at Xultun, an ancient city 340km south-west of Guatemala City. This discovery not only provides insight into the individuals behind Maya astronomy and mathematics but also the production of ancient codices. “We were excited when we realised one of the room’s many mathematical tex
Hundreds of ancient coins and inscribed pottery fragments discovered at Byzantine site in Egypt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Egyptian archaeologists working at Dakhleh Oasis, 565km south-west of Cairo, have excavated a mud-brick settlement, revealing hundreds of inscribed pot sherds, bronze and gold coins, and religious and domestic buildings. These findings will help experts to reconstruct daily life at the oasis during Egypt’s Byzantine era, which lasted from roughly AD284 to AD641, and highlight the desert region’s rich cultural heritage. “The excavations are important because many settlement sites are under threat
