“They don’t get much in the way of posthumous glory, but Roman surveyors have left us a wealth of technical treatises, collectively known as the Corpus Agrimensorum Romanorum, which is of unique historical importance for its detailed descriptions of the nature of land settlement, and the role of emperors, especially Augustus, in regulating urban centers in a rural environment. Archaeologist David Gilman Romano, longtime director of the Corinth Computer Project, has been using the Agrimensores to understand the rural geography of Corinth and the nature of Roman re-settlement of the city… #GIS#spatial#mapping#surveying#surveyor#survey#instrumentation#ancientrome#roman#history#urban#buildings#aqueducts#roads#fortifactions#construction#engineering#design#archaeology#archaeologist
"The commonly used term “hunter-gatherers” for describing early humans should be revised to “gatherer-hunters” in the context of the Andes in South America, suggests new research led by an #archaeologist.
…analysis of the remains of 24 individuals from burial sites in #Peru shows that early human diets in the #Andes were composed of 80% plant matter and 20% meat."
Does anyone know if there is a #software that can take a bunch of images (inside a folder) and then create an #xls file with those images, together with exif data, so that each one is in its row? This is probably not the best explanation I can give, I know, but I'm attaching a pic of what I have in mind. I actually had such a little thing, written specifically for this purpose by a fellow #archaeologist, but I can't find it anymore 😕
Boosts are appreciated 🙏
I am an #archaeologist who specialises in helping other specialists to read faint or eroded inscriptions, and make petroglyphs and decorations on monuments easier to see. I work freelance on projects across the world. Contact me if you’d like my help.
I have made many nice discoveries during my career from carvings at Stonehenge, animal-headed saints, and countless cup-marks.
I've migrated to the archaeo.social server, so time for a pinned #Mastodon#Introduction!
I'm an #archaeologist whose research focuses on #AncientGreek animals from the landscape to the altar to the plate. To do so, I study the bones and teeth from ancient #animals.
It's a mixture of humanities and science: history and art meets biomolecules and skeletal anatomy
I believe that #archaeology is relevant to our own world and we need to be #inclusive (alt-text added now)
Hello Mastodon, I'm Nina, an #archaeologist, specialising in #Roman and #Greek#archaeology. Currently I'm the head of the archaeological department at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart, but soon new adventures lie ahead as the permanent representative of the director of the Archäologisches Landesmuseum Baden-Württemberg.
And I like Star Trek! 🖖
