The Changing Landscape of Archaeological Survey - Ep 195

Though excavation is pretty much synonymous with archaeological fieldwork in the popular and professional imagination, the bulk of the work that we, as archaeologists, do is survey. In the decades that Chris and Paul have been doing archaeological survey we’ve seen great improvements in how they can be planned and carried out, in large part do to tech that’s more ubiquitous, robust, and cheaper than it was when we started. Today we discuss what we’ve already gained and what we hope the future brings.

Magnetometry on the Lagash Project - Ep 191

Paul spent two months in Iraq this fall (2022). The first was working at Ur, in Iraq. The second was back to Lagash, just down the street. One of the things they did on this trip was a fresh magnetometry survey of the entire site. After catching up with Paul we talk about how that went and what the results showed them.
