At the Roman site of Olbia (pleiades.stoa.org/places/471987) near Arles (France), archaeologists have found hundreds of burials where funeral pyres facilitated cremated remains of persons and then were turned into tombs on the site of the pyre 🔥 . www.inrap.fr/pratiques-fu...
Following the cremation, some of the deceased's bones collapsed into the overcut of the burial pit. The bones are well preserved, although they exhibit numerous cracks related to the cremation process. While the remains of the skull and upper limbs lay outside the overcut, near the pit wall, the ankle bones (tibia and talus), close together and in their anatomical position, were found within the overcut. A vase placed there after the cremation had also fallen into the overcut. © Sylvie Duchesne, Inrap Following the cremation, some of the deceased's bones collapsed into the overcut of the burial pit.

Just in time for Halloween...
Thank you NewCon Press for this wondrous bounty.
For which we must pay ... in blood.
Two copies of a book in a nest of shredded brown packing paper. The cover shows a rat-headed man in an alley, holding a knife and a spray can. The book's title is Blood In The Bricks.

Truly gorgeous, both these buildings - I love to see them when I come out of Kings Cross and walk down the road. #CBM #brick

I always mean to take photos of this, but always forget - I rather like the design of the British Library and how it compares and contrasts to the fabulously opulent St Pancras hotel...

Always makes me smile when I come out of Kings Cross St Pancras station.
The very modern, red brick with red and green trim, British Library alongside the opulent red and green St Pancras hotel. The very modern, red brick with red and green trim, British Library alongside the opulent red and green St Pancras hotel.

Via @paulblinkhorn.bsky.social This counts as one of my 101 uses for brick (which might get to 1001 uses at this rate!) #brick #CBM #housing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lovely glazed #bricks too!

It is that time of year when people start posting #BadAncient memes about Easter. So, to recap like we do each year - Easter has nothing to do with the the goddess Ishtar.

www.badancient.com/claims/easte...
Is Easter named after Ishtar?
Are the Easter celebrations somehow based on the ancient worship of the goddess Ishtar?

Ornamental Gable-Tiles "Antefixa"

Manufactured in the legionary brickworks and tilery (figlina), these antefixes bear protective and evil-averting emblems.
Late 1st-2nd century AD
