Strata: Portraits of Humanity, December 2024
Strata: Portraits of Humanity, December 2024 (Portuguese pavement; seed recovery at Greek Neolithic site)
Description: (1) “Missing Footsteps”: An icon of Portugal’s culture, Portuguese pavement, comparable to Roman mosaic pavement, is one of the country’s biggest symbols of engineering and pride, as well as a stone in the shoe of urban mobility. (2) “Living with Earth”: This documentary was entirely shot in northern Greece with archaeobotanist Tania Valamoti and her team, who are finding and analyzing seed remains from the Neolithic period in the excavation of the Dikili Tash site. These seeds can help define how the ancient Neolithic people grew their food.
