Take a virtual trip Down Under with the AIA as we catch up with Helen Green (University of Melbourne) as she presents the March edition of AIA Archaeology Hour: "Dating Australia’s Oldest Rock Art." This presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific. Australia hosts the world’s oldest continuing culture, and Aboriginal rock art represents one of its most significant records of knowledge. These paintings and engravings remain of deep importance to Aboriginal people today and provide valuable evidence for researchers seeking to understand long-term human-environment interactions. Yet one of the greatest challenges in rock art research is determining age. Without knowing how old the paintings and engravings are, it is difficult to understand how the artworks relate to past changes in climate, environment, or culture. In this talk, Dr. Helen Green will outline the latest scientific techniques used to establish the age of Australia’s oldest rock art, and the innovative, multi-disciplinary projects that bring together traditional Indigenous knowledge and Western science to deepen our understanding of these remarkable cultural records and how we might protect them into the future.

Наскальное искусство в Abourma(Djibouti).
Множество петроглифов возрастом 5 тыс лет на участке длиной 3 км.
Добраться туда это целое приключение - часа 4-5 от столицы по неплохой дороге и еще 3-4 часа по грунтовке с множеством колдобин. Поэтому пришлось разбить поездку на два дня и ночевать в Day Forest National Park в спартанских условиях (но электричество они мне обеспечили, так что даже поработал немного).

Earlier generations of machines decreased the complexity of tasks. In contrast, information technologies can increase the intellectual content of work at all levels. Work comes to depend on an ability to understand, respond to, manage, and create value from information.
