    Disclaimer
    (for you arch types out there watching this)
    I am a professional archaeologist with many years worth of field work under my belt in the American Southwest. The information presented here is based on my professional and academic experiences. Not all archaeology is done the same everywhere and, as such, experiences differ. The information here is overly simplified and presented as a form of entertainment with the intent to lightly educate as well.
    I guess what I'm saying is: if you're an archaeologist watching this, this is just for fun, don't be a jerk.

      Hi archeologist pilot here. Yes we can, officially we call it LIDAR work. But unofficially we just got OP privileges to work on the server with... if your just a mod you can achieve the same as a "Drone pilot" but really they don't have the Operator privileges so they have to use Elytras.

      This is the answer to the question posed many years back, "what's the difference between Archaeology and Grave Robbing?" Context. If you're looking for it, you're doing Archaeology. If you're just grabbing stuff that looks pretty, it's grave robbing.

    @jodofe4879 Год назад +28

    In the real world, while we may not have to worry about creepers crawling into our sites to blow everything up, we still have to worry about looters, tourists and vandals (not the Germanic people) getting into a site. And unfortenately we can't just turn them off by setting the world difficulty to peaceful. So site security is often important in setting up archaeological excavations. You don't want people to get in and damage the site or injure themselves. So stuff like putting up a fence to prevent people (or animals) from wandering into the site is indeed something we do in real life as well, although it is heavily dependent on the site in question of course.
    I work in the Netherlands and most of my excavations are in urban environments (often right in a city centre), so I can scarcely think of an archaeological site without fences and security cameras. But I imagine it is something less commonly required with sites in the US.
    Anyways, as a fellow archaeologist I applaud you for producing such groundbreaking, rock-solid educational content. I totally dig it.

    • @daskalosBCE
      @daskalosBCE  Год назад +12

      Thanks! Most of the sites I've been privileged to work at, or survey, have been far enough out that fences aren't needed. With that being said, looting is still a common problem and I can only imagine what it's like in an urban area. Kudos to you my friend!

    Heads up: the ruins contain "suspicious sand" and "suspicious gravel" blocks which you can get artifacts from, but only if you use a brush. So, being in creative mode and all, make sure you don't just break them like you would other terrain blocks. Very interesting video, I'll be sure to check out the next episode!

    If you want to continue excavating the site in Creative mode, here's a few commands you can run to help you out:
    /gamerule doDaylightCycle False (Will stop the day from progressing, so you don't have to sleep every night)
    /gamerule doWeatherCycle False (Will stop it from raining)
    /gamerule doPatrolSpawning False (Will prevent pillager patrols from spawning)
    /gamerule doMobGriefing False (Will prevent mobs such as endermen or creepers to affect the environment)
    /locate [Structure] (Can be used to locate structures without having to look at the seed map)
    /teleport @s ~ ~ ~ (Can be used to teleport yourself to any set of coordinates)

    As someone who has played a lot of Minecraft, let me share a few tips with you.
    1. If you are in Creative mode, hostile mobs will not attack you. However, you will want to be in Survival mode later as it will allow you to pick up artifacts when you excavate the site. In creative mode it will simply destroy the block and give you nothing.
    2. You can turn off all mob spawning by typing this command: /gamerule doMobSpawning false
    All animals that are still in the world will remain, but no new animals will spawn.
    This is an amazing series and I'm really looking forward to the next episode.

If you haven't heard of it yet, Vintage Story, a game originally made as a mod for Minecraft goes really in-depth into lithic, copper, bronze age and beyond cultural development and material culture. There is flint knapping, smithing, casting, pottery manufacturing and firing, as well as ruins strewn across the world which posses bony soil you can sift through to find artifacts. It would be really cool to see something similar done with that game that you have done with this one! I know as an Archaeologist myself, I really enjoy the realism of Vintage Story, and I bet you would too.

They mapped out an area's typology and took soil samples. Because of the site if they dug stuff up they would have REMOVED the ruin because it wasnt a structure with distinct material. The structure WAS the soil. They way the people shaped it to hold water and directed rivers into them.

  • @timwoods2852
    @timwoods2852 Год назад

    You mentioned context being important, so I figured some lore would be helpful:
    Long ago there were builders who came to the overworld and mingled with the locals. They traded goods with those locals who eventually became the villagers of the modern era. The Ancient Builders were perplexed by the existence of otherworldly abilities, such as the villagers being able to summon Iron Golems seemingly from nowhere. This led them to begin researching more odd phenomena such as brewing stands. They eventually learned how to enter the Nether and entered into war with the Piglins. They found Soul Sand there. This is also the place where the fist of them perrished. They found that the dead came back to life in this world, but as monsters. Meanwhile in the overworld, they began mining and discovered Redstone which allowed them to become industrial. They continued their experiments with the Redstone and with other portals, eventually discovering the Skulk dimension. This was the beginning of the end, however. The Skulk dimension brought the Wardens with it. The Ancient Builders were forced to flee the deepest parts of the caves below. The experiments with the Nether materials continued, adding components from the different worlds yielded all sorts of oddities. Music disks which could be used to power plant creatures, deep sea golems with various weapons, even a prototype of a chest guard. However, the Nether experiments went too far, and one day the Wither was constructed! It violently attacked the land, decimating the overworld. The Ancient Builders tried to flee below and live with the Wardens as protection, but they were ultimately too loud. Forced between the surface and the Deep Dark, the Ancient builders created Strongholds where they stored and recorded as much of their treasured knowledge as they could. They used their Redstone and knowledge of portals and made a new portal. One they hoped would lead to a more peaceful world. They found themselves in The End. With no way back to the overworld they had to fight the dragons they encountered and eat the odd fruit that made them teleport. They eventually became the Endermen. Meanwhile back in the overworld, with the presence of the Wither, the undead ran rampant, the climate changed becoming cooler and causing the sea to rise drowning the monuments gaurded by the aquatic golems. The earth was ripped apart and the Ancient Builders' homes were buried or destroyed.

    These ruins are such a neat and random addition to the game. Not so far off that it doesn’t fit, there are loads of other similarly abandoned style structures in minecraft. But none that have such a niche gameplay mechanic. I mean other than sherds, trims, and the sniffer,, this addition of archeology is almost pointless to the game. But so neat for world building.
    I remember the first time I found the fossil structure in my survival game. I excavated the whole rib cage and made it into a display. It didn’t add anything into my gameplay or beating the game, but those additions make the world feel lived in. Sometimes in a creepy abandoned “what happened here” way. But like in this series, also in a historical curious “what happened here” way.

    hey nice video, love the idea of an actual archeologist excavating a trail ruin, but i think you had some problems with making the video and i would want to give you some advice for the next one. 1. Why where you using a bed instead of a command for resetting the day? It would have been better to use the command /time set 10000 (which makes the day go to the hour 10 of the day) or instead use the /gamerule dodaylightcycle false (stops the day cycle, and the sun wont move) 2. If you had problems with animals, you could use the command /gamerule doMobSpawning false it stops animals and other creatures from spawning 3. and this one idk if it is mine or yours but i saw the video a little bit laggy, it could be my wifi conextion, but if it is your game that is laggy, i would reccomend you lowering a little bit more the graphics, but as I already told you, idk if it is my slow internet doing more bad things. Anyway, hope you can continue with this work, it is really good, nice job man :D

I want to see a hollowed out skeleton of the original building!! It’s so satisfying to see how far it stretches in relation to the singular terracotta block visible from the surface.
    Now, I have seen a couple MCYTers go through the effort to do this properly but I can guarantee none of them were archeologists.

    -Since you are in creative mode, hostile mobs will not target you
    -Another thing about creative mode, you break every block at the same speed. Even if you are hitting a stone block with a hoe it will break as quickly as hitting a log with an axe
    -If you want to quickly make it day time you can type in */time set day* to instantly set it to sunrise, if you’d like the time to stop progressing fully the command would be */gamerule doDaylightCycle false*

You will not take any damage. You would only receive knockback, and that's it. Any blocks near the creeper will not be damaged as well. Keep up the good work!

      Possibly, it would all depend on whether that village had claims to the site through ancestry. They would definitely be considered stakeholders due to their proximity.
