Awesome blend of archaeology and geotechnics. Thanks @davepetley.bsky.social
An Iron Age burial mound in Norway has been reinterpreted as being a memorial for a catastrophic 6th century quick clay landslide during a period of climatic instability.

Contribution to the knowledge of early geotechnics during the twentieth century: Arthur Casagrande
Abstract. Arthur Casagrande
(1902–1981) is one of the main people responsible for the geotechnics that
we know today. Born in Haidenschaft, now Slovenia, he went to the United

I can imagine that some form of AI could be used to extract information from data sources in my field (geotechnics), but fundamentally an AI wouldn't be able to judge what information may or may not be pertinent, certainly not in a form that would satisfy our PI insurers.
