The Rock Art Podcast is taking a break this month, but, we’d love for you to find a new podcast to love! Here’s an episode from The Archaeology Show.
We've got a few articles that are all over the place - literally - this week. The first is about a re-analysis of what was thought was an ancient harbor in Italy. Turns out there's more to it. Next we talk about, well, the prehistoric world in general as it pertains the role of women. As with everything, there's more to that story and it's way more complex than early researchers would have liked. Finally we have a story of massive cave art in a hard-to-access area in Alabama. The figures are massive and would have been difficult to see in their entirety.

Eric Hanson of Blue Planet is a specialist in employing virtual reality applications to the study and conservation of cultural heritage resources. He has pioneered the development of sophisticated methods to capture rock art and other indigenous imagery so that the general public and interested researchers can immerse themselves in a three-dimensional virtual gallery within the natural and cultural landscape. The technology has come a long way and the experience is now other worldly. Hanson's cutting-edge efforts allow for a 360 degree and parallax sensitive encounter.
