Technology is the symbol of our age, nevertheless, some fields have been left out of the revolution. One of these is archaeology, where many tasks are still performed manually - from the initial excavations, through documentation, to restoration.

In this talk, Professor Tal describes some of the techniques her team has developed to replace manual restoration and documentation. Originally published in January, 2020.
