Archaeology Without a Shovel: Investigating the Ancient City Motya, Sicily

Join Jason Herrmann as he talks about how remote sensing has changed the study of settled spaces in archaeology.

He will discuss the results of his geophysical surveys at Mozia, Italy to demonstrate how archaeologists can document buried remains and make observations about peoples of the past, their daily lives, and social organization with limited, or no excavation.
