Often people don’t have access to complex relational databases OR need one. this is useful for artefact or sample analysis. Gwen Kelly has produced this first part of an excellent walkthrough tutorial. How to use the advanced filter feature, generate a lookup table, create a named range, and use the VLOOKUP and IFERROR functions in Excel.
An international team of scientists have just published findings that re-interpret the history of our species. The study, published in the September 22 edition of the journal Science, details how a lock of hair donated by a West Australian Aboriginal man around a hundred years ago was used to sequence a full genome, revealing a new twist in the tale of humankind’s dispersal across the world.

Discovering a multi-million year old human fossil may represent a truly one-of-a-kind look into the history of the human species, but even the most well preserved specimen is not much use in a vacuum. Fossils must be compared to each other to give scientists insight into where they fit in the long progression to humans of today, and here, the rarity of such finds are a real obstacle. Janet Monge has a solution. As the associate director and manager of [...]
Using quad bikes and computer gaming software, archaeologists are reconstructing the landscape around Stonehenge to learn more about this ancient monument.

A run along the full (2km) length of the Sweet Track, an Early Neolithic timber built walkway across a patch of the Somerset Levels. This is a fabulous record of the track, the connections it has with further afield and has a damn good beat as well.! Check out Digital Digging here: http://digitaldigging.co.uk/
This is a time lapse video made from 1150 photos. They illustrate part of a day of recording pictographs at Panther Cave on the Rio Grande river. The photos were shot every 10 seconds with a GoPro HD Hero, batch renamed with IrfanView, and made into a video using ffmpeg at 24 frames per second.
Narrated by Assistant Curator, Dr. Adam Aja, this video explores The Semitic Museum’s Cuneiform Tablet Restoration Project. These tablets were excavated from Nuzi (modern day Iraq). The Semitic Museum began this restoration project in 1999. Narrated by Assistant Curator, Dr. Adam Aja, this video explores The Semitic Museum’s Cuneiform Tablet Restoration Project.

This is a compilation of some of our other videos, and some new material, put together for the Council for British Archaeology Wessex regional conference, held at the Ordnance Survey headquarters in Southampton, UK. In this short film, you can see the Stonehenge landscape in 3D, view some 3D models of bones from the Amesbury Archer’s skeleton, scans of WWI and WWII graffiti, and a new cut of the Seabed Prehistory archaeological reconstruction. The video was put together by Tom [...]
Based on field archeological works. Project accomplished together with Czech Technical University in Prague and east Bohemia Museum in Pardubice
Bence Viola from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig discovered the tooth fragments together with Russian colleagues in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains. Initially, he thought the inconspicuous-looking object was the molar of a cave bear. But when the remaining fragments of the tooth turned up, it became obvious that the researchers had found the tooth of a hominid. It was too large, however, to be from a modern man or Neanderthal. When the researchers [...]

Chawee Busayarat’s work involves architecture, informatics engineering, archaeology , geography and computer science. He considers these knowledges as an approach to understand buildings in an archaeological context. The work include development of informatic models and tools, to be used in heritage architecture study, such as its construction, valorization, conservation, methods of restoration and environment influence.
Short film showing the animation of modeling and texturing method at Chateau Comtal of Carcassonne. How phototextures are applied to models.
This movie gives a short introduction into the operating principles of the two UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) deployed by Ghent University to acquire the necessary aerial imagery for creating 3D reconstructions of archaeological interest (excavations, standing structures, landscapes, etc.)
