Meet the 90-Year-Old Armchair Archaeologist

(via Great Big Story)  Space archaeologist Sarah Parcak analyzes satellite imagery in order to find ancient sites hidden from view. With GlobalXplorer, an online platform using the power of the crowd to find, protect and monitor archaeological sites, Parcak is empowering others to be their own “armchair archaeologists”—people like Doris Jones. At 90 years old, Jones is one of the leading contributors to GlobalXplorer, having mapped out thousands of sites all from the comfort of her home.
