Space Archaeology

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 1, 2020

Who knew that we could learn more about Earth’s history by going to space? Archaeologist Sarah Parcak joins us to discuss the field of space archaeology, which uses images of Earth taken from outer space to reveal the ancient structures that past civilizations built. Her book on the subject, Archaeology from Space: How the Future Shapes Our Past, is now out in paperback.

This segment is guest-hosted by Matt Katz.
