New findings in #Nature and phys.org?
I'm neither an #archeologist, nor an engineer, but assuming that the the peer-reviewed article on phys.org does not omit any central aspects of the study in #Nature, it seems 
rather narrow-minded in geographic and historic scope.

I found this post about mastodon on Mastodon(!) Mastodon were cousins to elephants & wooly mammouth, and lived among hoo-mans 13K years ago (relatively recently). NY state is home to 150 mastodon fossil discoveries, w/ 1/3 in Orange County, where these teeth etc were found.

An amateur #archeologist's dream
But it's quite depressing
A #Ukrainian digging a #trench somewhere on the #frontlines of the #UkraineWar, they find a rusty #Soviet PPSh-41, a submachine #gun, a #WW2 #relic
Probably from another trench, dug in the same spot, by another Ukrainian, 80 years ago

So much suffering
All of it pointless stupid folly of malicious vain men
Yellowmead stone circle near Sheepstor in Devon, England is a concentric Bronze Age stone circle consisting of four stone rings set into each other. The largest is 20 meters wide and the smallest 6 meters. It is located on Yellowmead Down.
The circles once surrounded a burial mound, although this is now barely visible. To the south-west some possible rows of stones branch off, crossed by a post-medieval leat that once served a nearby tin works.
The site was excavated and restored by Rev. H Breton in 1921. In 2008, geophysical surveys and a small excavation were carried out to determine if the 1921 restoration had been done accurately (it was) and to find out if they were buried additional elements in the peat. Fallen stones were found in line with some of the stone rows, suggesting that further features may lie downstream below the slope.

"American #archeologist dies after #Viking ship replica capsizes off #Norway"
Those who wielded #AncientTechnology were masters but many died pushing the edge of discovery. So a sad modern coda
"Thrilled to be a part of this crew, fearlessly embarking on this Nordic voyage on a Viking ship replica across the North Sea, pushing through physical and mental limits to sail into history"

I hope she is in #Valhalla on the greatest of discovery

5000 years ago, the Neolithic people of Dartmoor cut this 27 feet high standing stone from granite where The Oxenham Arms is now located.
The pub was built around it when it was a monastery around 800 years ago, the stone goes down into the cellar & up into the room above.

How strong is the #archaeological evidence for #Jesus? World-class #archeologist, Dr Jodi Magness, joins me to discuss some top 10 lists of Dr. #TitusKennedy, an archaeologist who frequents Dr #SeanMcDowell's channel.
Fascinating. I'm not sure if this will get me to watch the #JoeRogan #podcast, but it's nice to see that some smart peeps gird their loins and speak up about some of the lunacy that's being brought by disturbingly popular pseudo-archeologists like #GrahamHancock and his noisome ilk. In this case it's a gloriously named real #archeologist named Dr. Flint Dibble. Turns out that Hancock's nonsense helps #whitesupremacy make their dangerous claims. #science #disinformation https://boingboing.net/2024/04/19/archaeologist-braves-the-joe-rogan-podcast-to-counter-graham-hancocks-nonsense.html
Boing Boing · Archaeologist braves the Joe Rogan podcast to counter Graham Hancock's nonsenseI've written a couple of pieces about former foreign correspondent for The Economist and best-selling pseudo-archaeologist Graham Hancock's wildly popular Netflix "docuseries" Ancient Apocalypse.

Flirt with #archeologist:
Hey, you wouldn't have a ziggurat?
I'm pretty sure no archeologist has taken a look at this. Do they have an issue with my *disfavored* spelling?
How about colour?
Or favour?
Or saviour?
Or vitamin... Wait... that's spelled the same, I just pronounce it the British way.
"But archeologist is not a Brit..."
Shut up!!!!!!
Did they just preemptively block me? 
This “#archeology junkie”(that’s a great band name
) is vibrating w/excitement!
Talk about “salt of the earth”!
Remarkable work…
Requirements to be an #archeologist
* Observant
* Precise
* Fearless
* Obsessed
Anyone who knows, loves or is related to one…will agree.
Some may say, I neglected to pt-out…”Bat-Shit Crazy”!
To them I say…
It’s not a requirement…just a common characteristic.

@TeamMidwest Anyone reading this, please remember to also include the year in long form (2023 as opposed to -23) because while it’s obvious to YOU, now, I can promise you that the #archeologist staring at it 200 years into the future will NOT automatically know on which century you wrote it.
Always write #metadata on papers, documents, art etc. with the assumption that a future archeologist will see it.
Today's indie author review: The Glass Gargoyle" by Marie Andreas:
Taryn St. Giles has a problem. More like a dozen of them. The first three? Her resident fairies... a fun, campy romp through the fantasy town of Beccia, as our hapless heroine collars her bounties, explores ruins, and tries to navigate the mess that is her life"
