#Archaeoacoustic analysis of Site 26LN211 (Nevada) reveals a unique soundscape: clear transmission, minimal echoes. Unlike other sites in WRN, it may have supported storytelling & ritual over echo-based ceremonies. #Artsoundscapes www.mdpi.com/2076-0752/14...

Thanks to the Bible, we are all familiar with the census of Quirinius, which took place in Judea and Syria in 6 CE. But what was the actual purpose of the census? In his article, Jared Kreiner analyses provincial censuses in the Roman Empire during the reign of Augustus

It took me a while, but finally I had the time to go through the volume "Senses, Cognition, and Ritual Experience in the Roman World" edited by @drblankam.bsky.social and Abigail Graham. It's a must-read for anyone interested in archaeology/history of senses, especially in antiquity.

From now on, I will have illustrative material when weaving anecdotes about the deaths of various emperors into my classes.
Hmm, isn't it symbolic that the book reached me on the last day of the year?

Publication alert! Our analysis of publicly available satellite imagery from the last ten years shows that in Tūwāneh (S Jordan), of the 723 looting pits we recorded, 140 were created between August 2013 and November 2022. The research was funded by IDUB @ Jagiellonian Univeristy
