Because it is a time-based medium, video is especially useful to record the processes involved in a method. In this section, video has been used to record several reconstructions staged by the archaeologists. These reconstructions deal with topics such as: ceramic techniques used in the making of pottery, building techniques employed in the construction of a dwelling, the use of tools, and the creation of textile goods.
