A few lateral migration channel margins marked in red. The left 2 are typical foreset bedding. The relict channel (right) starts ~3.9 m below sea level, which equates to about 6900 years ago if it isn't truncated (it appears to be). Visible strata outside the channel is marked in brown. On offshore surveys we look for extant land forms associated with buried channels that have "potential" for Paleo or Early Archaic archaeological sites. #geology #archaeology

Subbottom profile data from Matagorda Bay, Texas, showing a buried (85 cm) oyster reef, relict channel deposits & biogenic gas-saturated sediments. The survey boat hit ship waves while going over the reef, thus the chop. The relict channel shows lateral migration. #geology #archaeology

"An exeptionally beautiful moose shaped artefact found in Kuusamo East Finland in May 2023"
These axe-shaped objects that end in an animal head (usually moose or bear) are rare, but part of Neolithic traditions in Finland. A few have been found in Eastern Sweden as well (probably imports/trade).

Arched Egyptian Harp

Harps like this were played at ancient Egyptian banquets – they're often shown in scenes covering the walls of tombs. This one was found in a tomb and is over 3,000 years old. The strings were plucked two at a time, and depictions of harps show they could be accompanied by singers and instruments that resemble lutes and oboes. Songs at banquets were usually dedicated to deities.

A tailoring tool from 39,600 years ago

An animal bone fragment containing a number of man-made pits could have been utilized by ancient artisans when tailoring clothes.

The artifact was discovered in Catalonia, Spain, and is thought to date back to around 39,600 years ago.

This would make the bone the oldest-known tool of its kind, predating eyed needles in the region by approximately 15,000 years.

This is why we know that the magical text can be dated to the late 1st half of the 4th century at the earliest.

The handwriting adds more insight and the text is dated to the 4th/5th century.

Regarding flake tools, some are expedient tools (pick up, use & toss). Others are intentionally modified (retouched) to create working edges. The latter can be curated.

Gallo-Roman dodecahedrons — 12-sided hollow objects usually made from bronze — have been found all over Europe, from the north of England to Hungary.

Oh look, another #introduction post from me. It's my fourth, and I still don't know what to put in it. I've been cluttering up the fediverse since October 2022.

Anyway. I was a public servant in Canberra for years and years, and now I'm not a public servant and I'm back in Adelaide where I just sort of droop about looking at things and catching buses and putting the bins out on Monday morning. A sense of purpose eludes me, but as time goes on it seems less and less important. Despite being 'retired' I'm only 52, so I'm a bit of an anomaly.

I maintain an interest in the various policy areas I worked in, but I won't go on about those things at length. I'm also politically active (on the left of course), but this won't be a political account. This will be where I let my mind wander about frivolously, or maybe just dopily, with the odd bit of seriousness.
