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:

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'!
