The Archaeologist's Laboratory
Canada
Приєднався 8 вер 2020
This channel covers activities that archaeologists carry out in the lab or fieldwork, tips for archaeology grad students and young professionals, and other archaeological topics that interest me. Topics include lab health and safety, care and handling of artifacts, and making measurements on stone tools, pottery, metal, bone and shell artifacts, to plant and animal remains, geoarchaeology, stratigraphy, dating, artifact classification, artifact illustration, and landscape archaeology. Many of the videos complement my book, The Archaeologist's Laboratory (Springer, 2020) and were originally prepared for students in my course at University of Toronto. Since then, I've been adding material on other topics, including archaeological survey, Near Eastern prehistory, pseudoarchaeology, thesis-writing and professional development for archaeology grad students, numismatics, and historical archaeology. In 2024 I started a series on historical walks in Toronto, which I hope to expand in 2025.
A Göbekli Conspiracy? Controversy over the state of Göbeklitepe
Jimmy Corsetti has been a major proponent of the claim that some kind of conspiracy has been holding back "full excavation" of the extremely important site of Göbekli Tepe. Is this true? Why would that happen?

Karahan Tepe: My Last Stop on the World Neolithic Congress Tour
Переглядів 28 тис.28 днів тому
Karahan Tepe is an amazing Neolithic site, in many ways similar to Göbekli Tepe, but with some features that we don't even see there. This short video captures my tour of the site on November 6. Like Göbekli Tepe, this site is a settlement that was occupied in the later Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA, ca. 9000 BC) and earlier Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB, about 8000 BC), although precise dating...

As my battery was getting low, I had to keep my footage of this site fairly short, but it's still enough to show that this newly excavated site at the eastern fringe of the Taş Tepeler region is providing fantastic new evidence for Pre-Pottery Neolithic B domestic architecture, mortuary practices, and personal ornamentation ca. 8500 BC. #sefertepe #gobeklitepe #karahantepe #boncuklutarla #neoli...

Toronto's 1714 Mystery Structure - John Howard's Folly

Most Torontonians are completely unaware that there's a European-made structure in Toronto that's at least 310 years old. Where it is and how it got here is the story of this video, where Christoper Wren and John Howard both play parts. #torontohistory #toronto #historicalarchaeology #christopherwren #johnhoward Canadian Antiquarian and Numismatic Journal, 1880: archive.org/details/series1vols0...

Vikings in America? Evidence in the Mississippi Basin | Hoax or History

Two of the most widely acknowledged runic inscriptions in the Americas - in Oklahoma and Minnesota - would appear to indicate that Vikings explored inland North America long before 1500. How likely is it that they're real?
