Today modern archaeology often works with digital technology. Geophysics
has allowed thousands of ancient sites to be located – a huge gain for science.
has allowed thousands of ancient sites to be located – a huge gain for science.
The dig is no longer the be-all and end-all of archeology. We accompany
some archeologists on their journey into the virtual past. Geophysics comprises
a range of techniques with various geological and military functions.
Geomagnetism is used to locate enemy submarines or potential reserves of oil or
other minerals. Now, German and Irish archeologists have teamed up to use it to
trace prehistoric grave systems. Researchers in western Germany are applying it
to locate ancient procession and pilgrimage routes. Shipping archeologists in
Bremerhaven are availing of digital technology to create virtual models of
shipwrecks and, in Berlin, archeologists and game designers have also embarked
on a joint project. As luck would have it, they scanned every millimeter of a
temple in the Syrian city of Aleppo, not suspecting that, soon afterwards, the
complex would be largely destroyed in the country’s civil war. Their virtual
model is evidence that the study of the past can have uses for the present,
just as technologies of the present can help us to study the past.
