To Study Ancient Humans, Archeologists Are Using... What?!

Modern archaeology has evolved beyond traditional fieldwork, incorporating technologies like satellites, LIDAR, and cosmic rays. Satellites help identify large-scale patterns and hidden structures, while LIDAR maps dense forests. Cosmic rays have even revealed new rooms in the Great Pyramid. These advancements allow archaeologists to uncover ancient civilizations without direct excavation, though field exploration remains essential.
