Field Safety Tech - Ep 186

In the wake of some tragic events AND an unseasonable hot summer we're talking about field safety tech. Good tech can not only keep you safer, but, it can make you more efficient as well. Sometimes just being more efficient IS being more safe. We're joined by Rachel Roden from Wildnote who will help us find some cool, useful, things.

Building the Virtual Rosewood Cemetery - Ep 185

Dr. Ed Gonzalez-Tennant joins us again in Paul's absence to tell us about the site he's been working on for many years now: The Rosewood Cemetery in Florida. Situated on private land, the Rosewood cemetery is difficult to get to and difficult to maintain. Without some sort of official support it's likely to stay that way. Ed has been documenting the cemetery using a number of recording means. This work has culminated in the virtual Rosewood Cemetery. We talk about that process and the implications regarding virtual archaeology in the near future.

New 3D Software for Artifact Documentation and Analysis - Ep 182

Archaeologists have been 3D scanning artifacts for a while now. But, what do you do with those scans? We post them on websites, use them in reports, and try to do some analysis, but, it's not consistent. This new paper from PLOS ONE is from the architects of a new software, Artifact 3D, that intends to take those scans and perform some high-level, detailed, analytical algorithms that are consistent and repeatable. We talk about it on this week's episode.
