Unveiling the Secrets of History with Archaeology Dogs Did you know about these amazing four-legged detectives? Archaeology dogs, also known as archaeological or historic human remains detection dogs, are highly trained canines that assist archaeologists in uncovering human remains, historic graves and ancient sites! How do they do it? These dogs have an incredible sense of smell, making them invaluable in surveying large areas quickly and efficiently. Archaeology dogs excel at locating burial sites, from ancient tombs to more recent resting places. Their keen noses can detect human remains buried deep underground, aiding in forensic archaeology and historical investigations. Imagine the stories they help unravel from centuries past! Let's give a round of applause to these incredible canine archaeologists! Keep following for more fascinating insights into the world of archaeology and heritage preservation. #ArchaeologyDogs #HeritageDetection #HistoryUnearthed #DogDetectives #ForensicArchaeology #AncientSites #Archaeology #DiscoverHistory #DogMerickel #DogTrainer #DogTraining #WorkingDog #K9 #HistoricGraveDogDetection #HRD #detectiondog #DogScience

https://lnkd.in/dbrk4VNN YouTube Title: "Dendrochronology Explained: Unlocking Tree-Ring Dating in Archaeology" YouTube Description: In this video, we explore dendrochronology, also known as tree-ring dating, and its crucial role in archaeological dating. Dendrochronology provides highly accurate dating of wooden artifacts and structures by analyzing the growth rings in trees, offering insight into past human activities and environmental conditions. Learn how archaeologists use this precise method to date ancient wood, reconstruct past climates, and complement other techniques like radiocarbon dating. Key points covered: What is dendrochronology and how does it work? Applications in dating wooden artifacts and historical structures. The advantages and limitations of dendrochronology. Dendrochronology's role in environmental reconstruction. How dendrochronology is used with radiocarbon dating. If you're interested in archaeological methods or the science behind dating ancient materials, this video is for you!

Excited to share that I’ve successfully completed the Archaeology as a Science course on Coursera! This enriching experience deepened my understanding of scientific approaches in Archaeology, including Paleoethnobotany, Sediment Archaeology, Zooarchaeology and Biomolecular Archaeology among other fascinating methodologies. Looking forward to applying these insights in exploring history and uncovering the stories of the past!

Think #archaeology, and you may picture the History Channel, images of large digs shown at museums, or the Indiana Jones franchise. 🛕 🐍 But did you know that with the addition of Dovetail Cultural Resource Group, we've expanded our own services to include archaeology? In fact, Kerri Barile was invited by Texas Contractor Magazine to write about how archaeology work affects excavation and how to avoid pitfalls. So how did Kerri get into archaeology? How does she know where to dig? And most importantly, has she ever found any gold? Find out: https://lnkd.in/eSt8YyYx

This #3Dmonday we have a video from Pix4D's Flavio Vitiello, who used PIX4Dcatch to capture a life-sized display of underwater archaeology at Santa Severa Castle near Rome.
