It's a very disturbing but very good film if you've never seen it. Amazing soundtrack too.

I looked all over for a date and got everything from "early 1800s" to "late 1800s" but nothing exact, so I had to make an educated guess. The first cameras practical enough to take such a photo were developed around 1840 and the excavations began in 1867.

Or at least dating back to snapshot cameras.
