PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Maps for Time Travelers: How Archaeologists Use Technology to Bring Us Closer

Popular culture is rife with movies books and television shows that address our collective curiosity about what the world was like long ago From historical dramas to science fiction tales of time travel audiences love stories that reimagine the world before our time But what if there were a field that through the advancements in technology could bring us closer to the past than ever before   Written by a preeminent expert in geospatial archaeology Maps for Time Travelers is a guide to how technology is revolutionizing the way archaeologists study and reconstruct humanitys distant past From satellite imagery to 3D modeling today archaeologists are answering questions about human history that could previously only be imagined As archaeologists create a better and more complete picture of the past they sometimes find that truth is stranger than fiction  .

For the first time, the building blocks of ancient life—DNA, proteins, and fats that have long been trapped in fossils and earth and rock—have become widely accessible to science. Working at the cutting edge of genetic and other molecular technologies, researchers have been probing the remains of these ancient biomolecules in human skeletons, sediments and fossilized plants, dinosaur bones, and insects trapped in amber. Their amazing discoveries have influenced the archaeological debate at almost every level and continue to reshape our understanding of the past.Devising a molecular clock from a certain area of DNA, scientists were able to determine that all humans descend from one common female ancestor, dubbed “The Mitochondrial Eve,” who lived around 150,000 years ago. Employing different techniques on other molecules recovered from grinding stones and potsherds, they have been able to reconstruct ancient diets and posit when such practices as dairying and boiling water for cooking began. They have reconstituted the beer left in the burial chamber of pharaohs and know what the Iceman, the 5,000-year-old hunter found in the Alps in the early nineties, ate before his last journey. Conveying both the excitement of innovative research and the sometimes bruising rough-and-tumble of scientific debate, Jones has written a work of profound importance. Unlocking the Past is science at its most engaging. Popular culture is rife with movies, books, and television shows that address our collective curiosity about what the world was like long ago. From historical dramas to science fiction tales of time travel, audiences love stories that reimagine the world before our time. But what if there were a field that, through the advancements in technology, could bring us closer to the past than ever before?   Written by a preeminent expert in geospatial archaeology, Maps for Time Travelers is a guide to how technology is revolutionizing the way archaeologists study and reconstruct humanity’s distant past. From satellite imagery to 3D modeling, today archaeologists are answering questions about human history that could previously only be imagined. As archaeologists create a better and more complete picture of the past, they sometimes find that truth is stranger than fiction.   Popular culture is rife with movies, books, and television shows that address our collective curiosity about what the world was like long ago.
