Date: 19-Feb-2006 From: Mike Matloff <michelhooyahoo.com> Subject: 6500-year-old voices recorded in pottery! Description from The Raw Feed (http://www.therawfeed.com): 'Belgian researchers have been able to use computer scans of the grooves in 6,500-year-old pottery to extract sounds -- including talking and laughter -- made by the vibrations of the tools used to make the pottery.' Here's the link to the video: http://www.zalea.org/article.php3?id_article=496 It's only available in French right now, but even if you don't speak French I think you can get the general gist and hear the 'playback'!
