    @ninawillburger That reminds me of learning about a Māori cave where I live here in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, where assorted needles shaped from bones were recovered.I just found a 2017 masters thesis from the University of Otago, by Georgia Kerby, on the artifacts recovered from the cave.In my memory, there was a needle shaped from the bone of a Haast's eagle, at the time the world's largest eagle (now extinct). Georgia more correctly classifies that object as a "winkle picker". I had to look that up. It was a pointed tool used for getting snails out of their shells.https://hdl.handle.net/10523/7325#archaeology #nz

    The early medieval burial from Gammertingen, 6th century AD. The high-ranking warrior died in his early 30s and was buried with a Byzantine helmet (a so-called Spangenhelm), his weapons, and his mail armour, which consisted of about 45,000 iron rings!📷Landesmuseum Württemberg#archaeology

    Perhaps you know nothing about early porcelain? (you should read "The white road" by Edmund De Waal), or celadon ceramics that travelled across much of the known world from China to Europe?Anyway, the images in this paper about underwater #archaeology are striking for the variety of products that were found at this shipwreck site in SingaporeThe Temasek Wreck ceramics cargo: Yuan blue-and-white porcelain, celadon and other ceramics found in Singapore waters https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S3050997125000132?via%3Dihub

    Perhaps as a child you were fascinated by what trackers can deduce from footprints. But what if those footprints are over 60 million years old?In Bolivia, scientists are investigating a world-record-breaking animal trail: theropods, a group of dinosaur species, left behind 16,000 footprints.
