Dr. Genevieve von Petzinger

You know, each one of us has like the question that we've always wanted to answer.

And for most of us, they're quite large scale questions, like, you know, things we'd like to know.

And

With the technology that we're busy building out right now, I think we're actually going to be able to tackle some of them, which is just extraordinary.

And so I think that's where I'd like to leave it.

This is Liacara, yeah, which is the Living Intelligent Archive archive.

of ancient culture, art, and relational archaeology.

And so Leah for short.

So Leah's our librarian.

But, you know, so again, integrating in a graph style database, integrating in GIS, integrating in huge archival back literature in the field in order to have real truth.

And then all of the photos and all of these things, you know, and in the future, we're looking at, can we train Leah to read hyperspectral scans, which means full elemental level scans to help us rebuild those walls and those paint recipes.

So, you know, this just, yeah, it's like, it's such an incredible thing to be like, what can we imagine?

And then like, it's, it's actually within the realm of possibility now.

So stay tuned.

That's how I would say we're at the start of an exciting new era.

It was a pleasure.

It's always so fun to talk about it.

As you can see, yeah, I mean, exciting times ahead.

So, you know, thanks for giving me the opportunity to share it with the public because I really feel like with somebody who has the privilege of doing my passion as my job and who, again, has been supported by public grants and other things by people around the world,

I feel like it's one of my obligations is to report back in and to make sure the rest of our homo sapien, you know, cohort know about it because like this belongs to all of us and I'm really excited as we move into the future to be able to share it more broadly with people.
