Archaeology: Evidence of the Past

Synopsis
Examines the work of archaeologists at Mesa Verde as an example of how past civilisations can be reconstructed from their findings. It provides a complete explanation of techniques used, including Carbon 14 dating, stratigraphy and dendrochronology and activities such as serial photography, ground-probes and electromagnetic detection. We then see how the findings are evaluated to furnish information about the life and habits of vanished peoples
