<strong>Assyrian conquest and ruralization: unveiling territorial dynamics in the provinces of Magiddû and Samerina</strong>
"_This study has illustrated that the Assyrian territorial strategy implemented in the provinces of Magiddû and Samerina, established upon the remnants of the Kingdom of Israel, manifested as clusters of sites, termed ‘islands of control’. These ‘islands’ comprised a rural landscape overseen by the principal cities of Tel Dan, Megiddo and Samaria. This territorial approach mirrors a broader modus operandi adopted by the Assyrians across their empire to manage agricultural production._"

<strong>First English settlers in North America ate dogs to survive</strong>
"Archaeologists excavated about 181 canine bones in Jamestown – representing at least 16 dogs that lived between 1607 and 1617 AD.
The dog remains showed evidence of bone modifications “consistent with human skinning, skeletal disarticulation, and meat removal” – meaning they were consumed by the colonists."

<strong>Hidden gold earring reveals forgotten episode of Carthage-Rome war</strong>
"The jewelry piece was discovered inside a ruined building in the middle of the Pyrenees. The building is believed to have been part of a devastating fire that burned the settlement to the ground.
The destruction was dated around the end of the third century BCE, the moment where the Pyrenees were involved in the Second Punic War and the passage of Hannibal’s troops,”

The human eyes have "only" 3 different colour receptors, so multiple spectra can be perceived as the same colour.
(And this without considering all the ways the signal is processed before you actually "see" it.)

<strong>The Reception of the Marduk Prophecy in Seventh-Century B.C. Nineveh</strong>
"_This article discusses how the Marduk Prophecy was read and re-interpreted in Nineveh at that time. Between the Marduk Prophecy and the royal literature during the reign of Ashurbanipal, the following common themes can be recognized: (1) reconstruction of the Babylonian temples, above all Esagil; (2) conquest of Elam; and (3) fulfillment of divine prophecies. On the basis of these, the author proposes that in the seventh-century Nineveh the Marduk Prophecy was regarded as an authentic prophecy predicting the achievements of Ashurbanipal, and that this is the main reason why this text was read at his court._"

“I have been teaching in small liberal arts colleges for over 15 years now, and in the past five years, it’s as though someone flipped a switch. For most of my career, I assigned around 30 pages of reading per class meeting as a baseline expectation… Now students are intimidated by anything over 10 pages and seem to walk away from readings of as little as 20 pages with no real understanding.“ #literacy #education #LanguageArts

Japan discovers the Jevons paradox. Over the 20th century, rising energy efficiency was met with ... rising energy consumption.
Earlier this evening my memory took me back to my teenage years when I would listen to the BBC's 'Letter from America' by Alistair Cooke on the wireless. Alistair's voice was so distinctive it left a lasting impression on me, so much so that I still remember it decades later.
@histodon @histodons At some point along the line is it not always about #oil?
@merileedkarr @bookstodon Thank you for the kind advice. I have taken two walks today.
