Hunterston Brooch

This stunning brooch was found at Hunterston, Ayrshire during the 1830s. Made about AD700, it is a highly accomplished casting of silver, richly mounted with gold, silver and amber decoration. It is one of the iconic objects of the Early Historic and Viking periods. It is now in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. #Archaeology

From Augusta Emerita/Mérida, #Spain, dating 3rd century AD.

Something I learnt about only recently (it may have been on here): for many arxiv preprints, if you replace the "x" in the url with a "5", you will get a nice accessible html :html5: version!

Works quite well for reading on your phone in the train for example 👍

This feminist slogan can be found written on walls all over central Athens.
It’s a pun:

Αρρενωπότητα (masculinity)
Τίποτα (nothing, null)

MASCUNULLITY

Does anyone feel like sitting down in front of the computer and playing around with their notes a bit?

I just wrote down how I set up and try to maintain my (academic) reading list in #Obsidian using the #Projects plugin by @marcusolsson and #Zotero. Might post it again after the holidays, but for now, here's the description of my approach for those who asked. Thus, fulfilling my promise from this thread: https://hcommons.social/@natalie/109557676423033978

One of the things I really like here is the varying levels of visibility. It takes a while to get used to but it really helps modulate the experience.

If you want a conversation with people outside your followers, using hashtags is great.

6,000-year-old #ChewingGum! Pieces of birch pitch found in the Late #Neolithic pile dwelling settlement of Hornstaad, dating 3917-3909 BC. You can still see the toothmarks!
Birch pitch was used as a prehistoric glue for attaching stone tools to handles. Finds very often contain toothmarks. There a several reasons why people would have chewed it: to make it malleable, to ease toothaches because it’s mildly antiseptic, to clean teeth, or just for fun - it has a slightly intoxicating effect! 1/2

Tepe Gawra, kurdish for “the great mound”, is situated in #Iraq. The site offers an almost continuous sequence of occupation from the 5th to the 2nd millennium BCE. The “Round House” itself dates to around 4000 BCE.

Our architectural reconstruction is based upon analyses, the excavation reports, and related literature. Since the reconstruction is, of course, only tentative, we decided to illustrate the level of certainty in the model through colour coding.
