The ADS and Internet Archaeology have a number of resources that cover multiple time periods and explore historical themes, such as how people in the past styled their hair.

The Digital Research Video Project

Where did people go in the last Ice Age? by Pia Spry-Marques. © S. Pilaar Birch, S. Castor-Perry and V. Pia Spry Marques 2013. CC-BY-NC-SA.

This project produced a series of short videos on historical and archaeological topics. The goal of the project was to digitise archaeological research by creating illustrated video podcasts that would be easy for non-archaeologists to understand.

Four videos are available on the following topics:

• Where did people go in the last Ice Age?
• What do bones say about beliefs?
• What diet can tell us about social relationships?
• What can a 17th-century print tell us about Astronomical Theory?
