Archaeotech is your source for the technology career archaeologists rely on every day, and news about the future of archaeology and technology.
Dr. Hector Orengo joins us from Spain to talk about a recent paper where his team discusses using photogrammetry and AI to automate archaeological survey. It’s an interesting approach with promising results.

Be carefule when selling tech on eBay - especially drones. Chris relays his ongoing saga with selling his DJI Inspire Pro. At the time of this posting it’s still not over. Also, we talk about selling tech on eBay in general and we do a deep dive on the new DJI Mavic Mini.

We think of archaeologists' main activity as digging. But anybody who's ever done archaeology can tell you that, regardless of what kind of archaeology we do, writing is a far more important skill. Here on the ArchaeoTech Podcast we talk a lot about the tools that we use in the field, but we don't talk so much about the tools that we use to assemble our thoughts when the fieldwork is over. So today we'll dig into a class of often overlooked tools that we all rely on: word processors.

Edward Gonzalez-Tennant is a GIS and open source digital archaeology expert. We brought him on to talk about GIS but the conversation quickly turned to his work at historic Rosewood - a predominantly African-American town in Florida that was destroyed by riots and the Rosewood Massacre over 100 years ago. EGT is using digital archaeology and traditional methods to reconstruct this town so visitors and descendants can know what it was like to live in that area at in the early 1900s.
