Low-cost LED technology helps archaeologists see hidden layers before excavation

A low-cost imaging system using 16 wavelengths of light could help archaeologists spot hidden layers and materials before excavation removes them. Researchers from Aarhus University and Moesgaard Museum in Denmark developed the LED multispectral imaging system, or LEDMSI, to reveal differences missed by normal color images...

🌳The #Oracle of #Dodona: a space of shared human experience across millennia.

Universal value lies in the inquiries inscribed on tiny lead tablets (ελάσματα).
Diviners interpreted Zeus' answers through the rustle of the sacred oak (φηγός) & the flight of doves.

The unique acoustic rituals included the "Scourge of the Corcyraeans" (Κερκυραίων μάστιξ), a votive bronze boy statue holding a whip. Blown by mountain winds, its chains struck a cauldron (λέβητας).

Imagine a Rod of Seven Parts type scenario informed by real #archaeology. You can sort of predict in which province or large lake each part of the rod has most likely been deposited. But it's completely impossible to locate them after all this time. You end up finding only two rod parts, from different rods, none of them the one you're looking for. 😄
