Organic residues trapped in amphorae inform us about ancient diets and long-distance wine exchange. Radiocarbon dates recalibrate our understanding of when early farmers first cultivated wheat in the Levant.
Lithic reduction sequences expose the skill sets of Palaeolithic toolmakers. Magnetometry surveys can detect fired clay features such as hearths and kilns beneath modern fields. Ground-penetrating radar allows researchers to map buried architecture without turning a single spade of soil. Obsidian blades reveal trade routes that once spanned hundreds of kilometres across prehistoric landscapes.
Magnetometry surveys can detect fired clay features such as hearths and kilns beneath modern fields. Stratigraphic superposition remains the fundamental principle for relative dating in the field.
