A Child's Toy with Mercury || Archaeology Books for Fun || Colonial Williamsburg - Interlude
November has been intense, so we weren’t able to finish The Lost City of the Monkey God this month. But don’t worry-we’ve got something special for you instead!
In this episode, we share our recent conference trip to Colonial Williamsburg. Both of us visited this historic interpretive town as kids, but this time, we approached it with the eyes of an archaeologist and an interpreter.
How does it hold up? Is it still worth a visit? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

In this episode, we dive into part two of "The Lost City of the Monkey God". The team assembles and embarks on an expedition to the jungles of the Mosquitia region in Honduras to "discover" a "lost" city. Facing swarms of hungry insects and encounters with deadly snakes, they set out to confirm the site they identified using LiDAR. Last time, we had a few critiques. Will the book redeem itself?...

      The software stitches the photos together (kind of like a reverse panorama) and creates the model for you. You can try out RealityScan for free on your mobile device. It's pretty decent and will give you an idea of how the technology works.

      Photogrammetry doesn't work great with things that are reflective, or see-through (i.e. shiny metal or glass). There are methods that we can use, however, such as dusting the object to make it opaque.

      @Dav624 3 місяці тому

      Not just the easy to shaft benefit it's also the durability factor because it has no sharp edges to get damaged the tip is easy to reform if damaged by rolling the copper sheet and reforming another cone with it with a hammer stone so my personal opinion for this particular type of projectile point copper is the best metal because its soft and therefore easy to reform if damaged without breaking like other harder metals iron for instance would break if it was this thin and u probably wouldn't even be able to form a cone shape without snapping it

    Most photogrammetry tutorials will tell you not to rotate the object since the software uses background points to relate for orientation. How does this compare to the software used and the completely white studio brackground. I am trying to scan at home and am still confused if i should rather rotate my object and fix my camera or walk around the object. A fixed focal length and camera distance makes more sense to me.

    • @floridapublicarchaeologyne4125
      @floridapublicarchaeologyne4125 10 місяців тому

      This may depend on your software, but you can potentially rotate the object even without a solid background. You might just have to mask the background on each photo which is a pain. The solid background (white, black, or green usually) makes masking very easy since it's all one color. This allows you to leave the camera in one place and use less space. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with moving around the object so long as your lighting is even. Try looking up masking for your software and turntable photogrammetry for more information. There are quite a few guides out there. If you have any more questions let us know!

    Pine tree sap (gum) is no longer used on the scale as it it once was. There are several reasons for this; it was labor intensive to collect, once used in many consumable products, it is now considered harmful in some forms and now other synthetically made substances takes the place of gum for consumable goods.

    Simple reasoning tells us we are not getting the complete picture when you claim that women were paid two dollars and men were paid $12. Why would anybody in their right mind hire people for 12 bucks when they can get them for two? Furthermore, a business as competitive and low intellect as collecting turpentine would have no margins to be wasteful with its money. It’s really absurd.

      If you paid closer attention, she didn't "claim" the rate between men and women, she had the receipt. And did you notice the weight of a 50 gal. barrel of gum? I've seen a Man roll Two of those full and capped barrels across the floor together, kicking a barrel to roll the other! But at aprox 350# apiece, a Woman couldn't roll one at a time, from can to cant, no matter how much you paid her!! Dipping rosin and load'n barrels 12 hours a day, is Man's Work! It aint close to typing on a keyboard type work. My Grandaddy cruised the piney woods on a mule to keep several crews seen to, and he built and operated sawmills. I've got an old cat face, from a tree in his "turpentine woods" area, in my yard. It has the tin gutter still attached, and a flattened tin cup, so its the right era. Those were hard, far distant times, and people did what they had to do to get bye, same as now. My folks all knew, that however it is, we're still Blessed to be American!!

I believe one reason why most people struggle with the concept is scale. Most people don't think on an archaeological or geological scale.
