About this listen

What is digital archaeology? In recent years its different uses have included recreating monuments destroyed by ISIS attacks, working out the smells of different texts including the Magna Carta and, most provocatively of all, asking why the Elgin Marbles should stay in Britain. In 2012 the Institute for Digital Archaeology was founded in Oxford by Executive Director Roger Michel. Drink the Wild Air visits London’s Oriental Club to interview Alexy Karenowska, the Institute’s Director of Technology, who oversees everything from the guerrilla scanning of ancient artefacts to reproducing them in stone through 3D printing techniques.
