Before excavating, the presence or absence of archaeological remains can often be suggested by, non-intrusive remote sensing, such as ground-penetrating radar. [6] Basic information about the development of the site may be drawn from this work, but to understand finer details of a site, excavation via augering can be used.
There are many reasons why underwater archaeology can make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the past. In the shipwreck field alone, individual shipwrecks can be of significant historical importance either because of the magnitude of loss of life (such as the Titanic) or circumstances of loss (Housatonic was the first vessel in history sunk by an enemy submarine).
Analysis remains underway for the new pieces found in June in freshly dug pits in Garden Field. Careful excavation revealed the pieces, which appeared to show a hand belonging to one of the ...
Dani Nadel of University of Haifa excavated Ohalo II in 1989 during the first drought-induced drop in water levels at the Sea of Galilee. [7] However, when the drought abated and waters of the Sea of Galilee rose, the site became inaccessible, and work at Ohalo was halted for 10 years, until the water receded again in 1999. [8]
Once inside, they found two small chambers containing the remains of eight individuals, officials said. Due to the environmental conditions of the cave, the remains were largely well-preserved ...
The bones of humans found in the system range from just 150 years ago to 6,000 years ago. Additional evidence—such as pottery, sediment, and animal bones—shows that the tunnel usage started ...
Eve of Naharon (Spanish: Eva de Naharon) is the skeleton of a 20– to 25-year-old human female found in the Naharon section of the underwater cave Sistema Naranjal in Mexico [2] near the town of Tulum, around 80 miles (130 km) south west of Cancún. [3] The Naranjal subsystem is a part of the larger Sistema Ox Bel Ha. [4]
Researchers working at a cave in southern Spain have found evidence that the skeletal remains of ancient humans buried there were dug up, modified and even used as tools by subsequent generations.
