"I saw how familiar words can break like glass and reassemble into goblins that waylay the mind with their claws... then marvel how things weak, even words, will turn vicious and merciless to gain power, despite reason or history." - Yousef, in Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin #morningsinjenin

One of the most enjoyable books I've read in a while. The discovery of the earth's antiquity framed within and against the Victorian metaphysic. #edwarddolnick #antiquity ##maryanning #cuvier

Edouard Lartet, one of my archaeological heroes...
Edouard Lartet’s 1864 discovery of this mammoth engraved on a mammoth tusk at La Madeleine in France provided clear evidence that humans had lived there alongside extinct ice age animals

Semi-subterranean house Sancy Mountains, France, 11th century. Most structures were stone. The frame of this wooden structure was evenly spaced wooden wall posts with
wall trenches. The hearth inside was lit on a large flat stone (interior left side). Long, curved entryways kept out cold and wind.
