A 4,900-year-old bread peel. It was found in the pile dwelling site of Olzreute-Enzisholz and is made of maple. Dating around 2897 BC.
The waterlogged, anaerobic environment provided ideal conditions for the preservation of the peel and other organic finds

Back in 2021, I collaborated with watercolorist extraordinaire Aaron Alfano to produce this amazing reconstruction of the support area of the Later Classic Maya palace of La Corona, Guatemala. I still love this piece very much.

Just our medieval roof gracing your timeline.
Many of the roof timbers come from trees that were felled in 1358 - over 700 of them!

Today’s projectile point illustration is a Susquehanna Broadspear, from around the same time in New England, as the last few, the later archaic. These are some of my favorites with their cool flared bases. 🏺🧪🐡

A pair of beautiful #Roman glass cups, in a bluey-green glass with white & gold 'snaking' decoration. Found near Köln (Germany), they're a lovely example of the glassware made by skilled craftsmen on the Rhine - and absolutely do not look their 1700+ years of age! AncientBlueSky

A Wapanucket point from Massachusetts, quite a rare type dated somewhat tentatively at around 4,000 years old. Big Larurentian-style blades similar to vosburg and brewerton types. #Archaeology 🧪🏺🐡

Hello and welcome to my followers! 💙
I’ve recently joined BlueSky and I’m here to share my love of #Archaeology
I’ll often post photos of artefacts I’ve seen in museums. Here’s a favourite from a trip to Cairo … an amazing ancient Egyptian blue hippo made of faience almost 4,000 years ago!
Enjoy!

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."
I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

The medievalism of the cover design of the first edition of "Joy of Cooking" (1931) is so charming to me: a colour-blocked Martha of Bethany, patron saint of cooks, vanquishes the dread dragon of dinnertime.
