Each particular field of archaeology aims at reconstructing the reality of a long-gone era. Pole holes, seeds or bone residue... The archeology of the mundane is able to make the most of those elements to resuscitate landscapes, buildings, customs or even ways of life.
In short entertaining animation movies, archeology experts will have you understand how scientists conjecture reality from elements that the inexperienced eye would consider meaningless or undecipherable. The archaeozoologist…his speciality is studying animal remain to work out how they are related to man! Serious business indeed!
