Archeological excavation is an inherently destructive process. And for a long time, archeology was practiced unethically. One egregious practice was the taking of human remains from communities who did not want to be disturbed. Good...

Before archeologists can excavate a site, they need to know where to dig. Surveys are the techniques used to find these places. What are the techniques used in archeological survey, as well as the technologies? What is LiDAR and how is...

Moving on from artifacts, let's take a look at archeological features. Features are immovable objects such as the remains of houses, walls, or pyramids. What kinds of structures do we look for and how do we identify them? Of particular...

With some background information covered, we can now begin to learn about archeological excavation. What goes on at a dig? How do they work? There's more to it than you think, so let's take a look!

Archeologists have used laser scanning to chart an ancient 100 km-long Mayan highway built 13 centuries ago. <br/>

Archeologists may have found out when cave-dwelling prehistoric Mesoamericans began eating maize as a staple, according to a new study in Science Advances.

We just learned about the application of carbon dating in examining human material remains. But what about relative dating methods? And more importantly, how can absolute dating and relative dating be used in conjunction to determine the...

After covering old world archeology, it's time to check out the new world. This refers to the Americas, where several civilizations were also occurring. The largest ones were found in Mesoamerica, which is present day Mexico. This...

Nathan Myhrvold talks about a few of his latest fascinations -- animal photography, archeology, BBQ and generally being an eccentric genius multimillionaire. Listen for wild stories from the (somewhat raunchy) edge of the animal world.

When you think about archaeology, space technology probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But from satellites to cosmic rays, archaeologists actually look to space a lot more than you might think!

Sometimes, ancient ruins can be a little out of the way, but with some creativity, we can use satellites for those hard to reach areas.
