A recent study revealed that part of Earth's magnetic field experienced a significant power surge during Mesopotamian times, leaving traces of the event in mud bricks baked by its citizens. Lead study author Matthew Howland, an assistant professor of anthropology, talks about the importance of archaeomagnetic analysis of inorganic artifacts to reveal their ages.
