In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Since the discovery in 1999, of a large settlement site from Early Stone Age (ca 6 000 — 4 000 BC) close to the river Motala ström, the Swedish National Heritage Board has conducted archaeological excavations north and south of the river. Among other artifacts the site provides a rich and multifaceted material of bone and antler, which is very rare for this type of Stone Age excavations. This is due to the exceptionally good conditions for preservation. Artifacts found [...]

At a dig in South Africa the discovery of a small piece of ochre pigment, 70,000 years old, has raised some very [...]
This video showcases the work being done at North Carolina State University in collaboration with Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky. Here, we present Light Detection and Ranging Data (LiDAR) recorded at the Park. The discrete return points are shown along with surfaces that were interpolated from those points. Initial processing was done by Dr. Nicholas Skowronski (NPS). Post-processing and video creation was done by John Wall.
Archaeologists in 2012 discovered a 1,000-year-old tomb 20 miles south of the Peruvian capital Lima. It contains the cloth-covered skeletal remains of over 70 people – most of them thought to be children. The 60-ft-long grave is linked to the ‘Painted Temple’ where the Huari people used to pray to Pacha Kamaq – their God of Creation. Search terms:peru csontváz
