The Body (2001 Film) - Archaeology in The Film

Archaeology in The Film

Dr. Golban is much more meticulous in her work than many other film archaeologists are. She examines the bones found without removing them from the site, and is very careful not to compromise the remains or any other artifacts found. The small things at the site are not overlooked and looting is one of the problems she faces, which are both aspects of real archaeology (See also: Small Finds). For instance, she uses several methods for dating the tomb such as thermoluminesence dating and relative dating techniques.
