Archaeology with Flint Dibble | The Neolithic Package: Animals and Plants #RealArchaeology @FlintDibble | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This video looks at how archaeologists recover and study animal and plant remains (with a bit on lithics and ceramics). The focus is on the Neolithic period in the Balkans (Greece and Albania specifically), but most of the concepts are applied in many archaeological settings.
