ABCs of Archaeology – H is for Historical Archaeology

Historical archaeology presents the exciting opportunity to combine written history with material remains to paint a detailed picture of what happened in the human past. However, it’s not without its dangers.

History is often written with agendas in mind, so whole people and events are purposefully erased. Even more common are the more subtle, less conscious biases that guide people’s writings, leaving whole topics or groups of people either forgotten in the historical record or portrayed diagonally.

Living Archaeology Site Visit – Ancient Mycenae

Today, we will continue our story of Bronze Age Greece, moving from Knossos and the Minoans to the Mycenaeans at…Mycenae – where else?! Mycenae is home to the largest beehive tomb in the ancient world and a ton of archaeological gold bling.

This is where the Trojan War was launched and was the center of the Aegean world. Since being discovered, however, it’s been ransacked, and its finds dispersed from Russia to London, and much of it is sitting in Athens.

Archaeology News – Archaeology from outer space

First, we start with an out-of-this-world story about meteorite material in ancient metallurgy—it’s not as rare as you think! Using these otherworldly materials shows that the ingenuity and thirst for discovery that people show now were present in our ancient ancestors.

Finally, we briefly introduce the motherlode of the archaeological site Çatalhöyük.
