Study of Ancient Copper Mine in Jordan. using the latest in wireless technology - data capture and storage of 3D information

The South Circle was reconstructed by the Time Team in 2005. Their reconstruction was built on flat ground - this model illustrates the challenges of building the same reconstruction on a slope (that is, the challenges faced by the original builders - not by me. I was never further than 50 feet away from a radiator, bed or fridge when I did my version).

Joyce White, co-Director of the Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP), talks about the origins of the project and gives an overview of the test excavations the team has conducted at a series of cave/rockshelter sites in northern Laos since 2007. Dr. White is interviewed during the 2010 season at a cave called Tham An Mah near a village called Ban Xieng Mouk just outside of Luang Prabang. The excavation yielded several important Iron Age discoveries that will shed light on MMAP's research on human prehistory in this under-studied region of the world.

Underwater archaeologists surveying the worlds oldest submerged town have found ceramics dating back to the early Bronze Age. This suggests that Pavlopetri, off the southern Laconia coast of Greece, was occupied some 5000 years ago making the site even more important than first thought. The Pavlopetri Underwater Archaeology Project, involving the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and The University of Nottingham, aims to establish when the site was occupied, what it was used for and through a systematic study of the geomorphology of the area, how the town became submerged. Dr Jon Henderson, from the Department of Archaeology, takes up the story. From http://www.youtube.com/user/NottmUniversity
