Archaeology is ideally suited for revealing how people adapt to long-duration spaceflight.

We re-imagined a standard archaeological method for use in space, and got astronauts to carry it out for us.

In January 2022 , we asked the space station crew to lay out five roughly square sample areas.

For 60 days , the crew photographed each square every day to document the objects within its boundaries.

The resulting photos show the richness of the International Space Station's cultural landscape.

Square 05 shows how a public wall space was claimed for personal storage by an unknown crew member.

The analysis of the first two squares suggests the data from all six will offer further insights into humanity's longest surviving space habitat.

Current plans are to bring the space station down from orbit in 2031 .
