About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.

Cool! Though as we have portraits, I'm not certain DNA was required!

Where exactly do we have portraits for early medieval (7th century) england?

They are on mastodon and as far as I understand probably won’t see your reply unless you tag them?

They have already replied and I see the reply. Maybe different behaviour between Lemmy and Piefed

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Could you share the reply. It doesn’t show up on lemmy :(

Captivating findings.
