Archaeologists are using experimental and reconstructive methods to recover the 'invisible' technologies of the Stone Age—perishable tools and processes like hafting, fiber production, and adhesive-making that rarely survive in the fossil record.
New forensic re-examination of 46 ancient Egyptian skulls supports the theory of a mass "retainer sacrifice," finding linear blunt-force fractures in about 39 percent of the crania that likely killed the individuals.
The article discusses how the invention of iron and bloomeries enabled mass production of weapons, leading to the decentralization of military power and contributing to the Bronze Age Collapse of empires like Egypt, Hittites, and Babylon.
The Khipu Field Guide is a web-based resource that provides detailed symbolic renderings and interactive analyses of over 600 Incan khipus, aiming to democratize khipu research through computational methods and data science.
Researchers discovered that the Devil's Arrows stones were transported 11 miles from Brimham Rocks, indicating deliberate selection and significant engineering skills by prehistoric people.
Scientists used mass spectrometry-based proteomics to analyze ancient Egyptian artifacts, discovering the use of animal-derived proteins like cow glue in adhesives and paints.
An article discussing the often-overlooked technologies of rope, twine, and thread in the Stone Age, highlighting their role in early human innovation.
New research identifies Brimham Rocks as the geological source of the Devil's Arrows stones in the UK, revealing that ancient builders transported 25-tonne stones over 18 kilometers, indicating deliberate choice and significant effort in prehistoric times.
A NASA color enhancement technique called decorrelation stretch, originally developed for enhancing Martian images, is now being applied by archaeologists to reveal hidden details in ancient rock art through improved contrast and color mapping.
Archaeologists discovered cave art in Ireland dating back 15,000 years, suggesting the first humans walked over from Wales during the Ice Age using a lost land bridge, with AI helping to locate the sites.
Researchers have used the Earth's magnetic field to detect fake ancient pottery, providing a new non-invasive method for artifact authentication.
A 1960s theory by Gerald Hawkins proposed that Stonehenge functioned as a prehistoric computer to predict eclipses, using astronomical alignments and an early IBM computer.
Border wall construction in Texas threatens to destroy ancient archaeological sites on private lands, potentially erasing thousands of years of history before full study can occur.
AI has been used to translate ancient 5,000-year-old cuneiform tablets into English, demonstrating a novel application of language models for decoding historical texts.
Archaeologists using LiDAR discovered a massive ancient Amazonian civilization with 20,000+ earthworks, rewriting assumptions about pre-Columbian history and challenging earlier beliefs about the region's capacity for complex societies.
A monthly roundup of six interesting science stories that were almost missed, covering an Incan sacrificial boy's cause of death, ancient Egyptian princess archers, cyborg cockroach diving suits, sleepy sperm whale bubbles, Betelgeuse's companion star, and a Medici duke's malaria diagnosis.
A new study estimates that an ancient Amazonian civilization supported roughly 3 million people within just 3% of the forest area, reshaping understanding of pre-colonial human impact on the region.
AI can accelerate the process of deciphering lost languages by compressing manual cross-referencing, but it cannot produce definitive translations without comparative anchors and rigorous human review, as meaning and statistical patterns are not the same.
A new DNA analysis of skeletal remains from the Medici family solves a 400-year-old mystery, confirming that Grand Duke Francesco I de' Medici and his wife died of malaria, not arsenic poisoning as long rumored.
