Shell middens along coastlines chart millennia of human exploitation of marine resources. Ground-penetrating radar allows researchers to map buried architecture without turning a single spade of soil. Lithic reduction sequences expose the skill sets of Palaeolithic toolmakers. Obsidian blades reveal trade routes that once spanned hundreds of kilometres across prehistoric landscapes.
Computational modelling now helps visualise how past populations interacted with changing climates. Lithic reduction sequences expose the skill sets of Palaeolithic toolmakers. Burial goods often mirror the social stratification that existed in complex chiefdoms. Ground-penetrating radar allows researchers to map buried architecture without turning a single spade of soil.

Computational modelling now helps visualise how past populations interacted with changing climates. Magnetometry surveys can detect fired clay features such as hearths and kilns beneath modern fields. Radiocarbon dates recalibrate our understanding of when early farmers first cultivated wheat in the Levant. Burial goods often mirror the social stratification that existed in complex chiefdoms.
