Stuff To Blow Your Mind

Sam Kean
Sam Kean: 我一直对传统考古学有些不满，虽然它研究人类的深层历史，但实际考古现场却非常枯燥，就是人们在泥土里用牙刷清理陶器碎片，而且世界各地都一样，这让我很失望。相比之下，实验考古学通过实际制作和操作来重现过去，例如制作古代食物、工具或武器。我参加过真实的罗马宴会，体验过中世纪的投石机，还和制作埃及木乃伊的人交流过。实验考古学通过感官体验，如声音和味道，生动地还原过去，这是传统考古学无法做到的。
Deep Dive
Experimental archaeology is a sensory-rich approach that involves recreating aspects of the past, such as ancient foods, tools, and weapons. It contrasts with traditional archaeology's focus on excavation and theorizing, sometimes leading to tension between practitioners of both approaches.
- Experimental archaeology recreates the past through making and doing.
- It is a sensory-rich approach.
- There is tension between experimental and traditional archaeologists.
