How we understand our shared and individual heritage, interpret and disseminate that knowledge is increasingly central to contemporary society. The emerging context for such development is the field of heritage science. Inherently interdisciplinary, and involving both the Arts and Humanities, engineering, conservation and the digital sciences, the development of heritage science is a driver for change; socially, economically and technically. This book has gathered contributions from leading researchers from across the world and provides a series of themed contributions demonstrating the theoretical, ethical, methodological and technical methods which lie at the heart of heritage science. Archaeology, conservation, museology, the arts, forensic sciences, and heritage management are represented through collaborative research with specialists in applied technologies including object and terrestrial laser scanning, multi-spectral imaging, visualisation, GIS and 3D-printing. Together, the chapters present important case studies to demonstrate the recent advances and best practise within the discipline, highlighting the value of digital transformation across the heritage community that includes objects, monuments, sites and landscapes spanning two million years of natural and cultural history from all over the world. Visual Heritage: Digital Approaches in Heritage Science is aimed at a broad academic and practice-led readership, which extends across many disciplines and will be of considerable value to scholars, practitioners, and students working within heritage and computer science at all levels. The content, which applies heritage science across two million years of cultural history will be appreciated by a general audience, as well as those wishing simply to explore the vast range of potential technical applications across all the disciplines represented in the book.

65,000 years ago, modern humans arrived in Australia, having navigated more than 100 km of sea crossing from southeast Asia. Since then, the large continental islands of Australia and New Guinea, together with smaller islands in between, have been connected by land bridges and severed again as sea levels fell and rose. Along with these fluctuations came changes in the terrestrial and marine environments of both land masses. The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Indigenous Australia and New Guinea reviews and assembles the latest findings and ideas on the archaeology of the Australia-New Guinea region, the world's largest island-continent. In 42 new chapters written by 77 contributors, it presents and explores the archaeological evidence to weave stories of colonisation; megafaunal extinctions; Indigenous architecture; long-distance interactions, sometimes across the seas; eel-based aquaculture and the development of techniques for the mass-trapping of fish; occupation of the High Country, deserts, tropical swamplands and other, diverse land and waterscapes; and rock art and symbolic behaviour. Together with established researchers, a new generation of archaeologists present in this Handbook one, authoritative text where Australia-New Guinea archaeology now lies and where it is heading, promising to shape future directions for years to come.

This Element presents emerging concepts and analytical tools in landscape archaeology. In three major sections bookended by an Introduction and Conclusion, the Element discusses current and emerging ideas and methods by which to explore how people in the past engaged with each other and their physical settings across the landscape, creating their lived environments in the process. The Element reviews the scales and temporalities that inform the study of human movements in and between places. Learning about how people engaged with each other at individual sites and across the landscape deep in the past is best achieved through transdisciplinary approaches, in which archaeologists integrate their methods with those of other specialists. The Element introduces these ideas through new research and multiple case studies from around the world, culminating in how to 'archaeomorphologically' map anthropic constructions in caves and their contemporary environments.

FOYLES NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR A SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING - HIGHLY COMMENDED LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 'The best book on the history of life on Earth I have ever read' Tom Holland 'Epically cinematic... A book of almost unimaginable riches' Sunday Times This is the past as we've never seen it before. Otherlands is an epic, exhilarating journey into deep time, showing us the Earth as it used to exist, and the worlds that were here before ours. Travelling back in time to the dawn of complex life, and across all seven continents, award-winning young palaeobiologist Thomas Halliday gives us a mesmerizing up close encounter with eras that are normally unimaginably distant. Halliday immerses us in a series of ancient landscapes, from the mammoth steppe in Ice Age Alaska to the lush rainforests of Eocene Antarctica, with its colonies of giant penguins, to Ediacaran Australia, where the moon is far brighter than ours today. We visit the birthplace of humanity; we hear the crashing of the highest waterfall the Earth has ever known; and we watch as life emerges again after the asteroid hits, and the age of the mammal dawns. These lost worlds seem fantastical and yet every description - whether the colour of a beetle's shell, the rhythm of pterosaurs in flight or the lingering smell of sulphur in the air - is grounded in the fossil record. Otherlands is a staggering imaginative feat: an emotional narrative that underscores the tenacity of life - yet also the fragility of seemingly permanent ecosystems, including our own. To read it is to see the last 500 million years not as an endless expanse of unfathomable time, but as a series of worlds, simultaneously fabulous and familiar.

Quando pensiamo alla Terra, fatichiamo a immaginarla diversa da come la conosciamo. In realtà il nostro pianeta è cambiato moltissimo nel corso della sua lunga esistenza. L’Antartide, durante l’Eocene, era ricoperto di foresta tropicale e popolato da pinguini giganti. C’erano isole, ormai scomparse, abitate da elefanti nani. Gli Pterodattili, padroni del cielo, volavano seguendo un particolare ritmo. Ad un tratto, un gigantesco asteroide sembrava addirittura aver distrutto la vita sul pianeta, ma in realtà l’ha solo spinta a mutare. Questo libro è un’esplorazione della Terra sin dai suoi albori, un racconto affascinante dei cambiamenti che si sono verificati durante la sua storia e dei modi in cui la vita ha saputo adattarsi per evitare di scomparire. Un viaggio entusiasmante che ci porta nelle savane del Kenya pliocenico, a osservare un pitone a caccia di australopitechi; tra le saline del bacino vuoto di quello che sarà il mar Mediterraneo, proprio mentre si riversa l’acqua del Miocene nell’oceano Atlantico; fin sotto le pozze poco profonde di Ediacara, nell’Australia sudoccidentale, luogo d’origine di alcune forme di vita pluricellulare. Thomas Halliday, pluripremiato paleobiologo ed eccezionale narratore, ci conduce alla scoperta di meravigliosi e sorprendenti paesaggi antichi, in una vastissima quanto accurata panoramica sul passato, sul presente e sul futuro del nostro pianeta. Illustrandoci come si formano gli ecosistemi, come le specie migrano, muoiono e vengono sostituite, come si adattano e collaborano, Halliday ci dimostra quanto la vita sulla Terra sia stata e sia tenace. Ma ci ricorda, anche, quanto il nostro mondo sia fragile e in equilibrio precario e, proprio per questo, quanto sia importante salvaguardarlo.

O passado como nunca o vimos antes Como era a vida na Terra há milhões de anos? E como resistiu a extinções devastadoras? O passado deixa pistas, e Thomas Halliday utilizou a ciência mais revolucionária para as decifrar de forma nunca vista. Com um olhar lúcido e poético, o autor analisa os fósseis e leva-nos numa incrível viagem por mundos fabulosos, familiares e extintos. Mundos Perdidos devolve a vida a 16 ecossistemas de um passado remoto e mostra-nos continentes em movimento, pinguins gigantes, répteis emplumados e muitas outras criaturas assombrosas. Enquanto recuamos no tempo, redescobrimos o nosso próprio lar de formas irreconhecíveis, e ficamos impressionados com a transformação dos ecossistemas e os devastadores cenários que causaram o fim de inúmeras espécies. E, ainda assim, a vida acabou por se impor... por enquanto. Porque as transformações massivas aconteceram repetidamente ao longo da História, este livro também é um alerta sobre o estado atual do nosso planeta e o futuro inquietante que temos pela frente.
