our species is responsible for infinitely more than domestic cats, who only exist thanks to us and only exist in the numbers they do because of our numbers

I spent 13 years living in the arctic, Tromsø North Norway. I've seen them at their best.

The reconstruction is an incredible piece of work in itself. Who knows what might turn up this year or at Magna as we get into som nice anaerobic fort ditches

Makes the Vindolanda chamfron look rather ordinary

Well that was a headline i never expected to see. Had to check the date wasn't April 1st.

That's the problem, we have a GE here in Norway this autumn and i'd love to vote green, but as it stands they're more red with a light green wash applied on top. There's no good answer, but at least PR here gives them a better chance. I also have voting rights in the uk still.

I would vote green if they put the needs and well being of the planet and all living things before those of a single species. But very few people would go along with that voluntarily, and so here we are.

Here's another Ornatrix. Celio archaeological park, Rome. Own photo

Cracking program, thoroughly enjoyed it, the thrill of discovery never gets old does it. Only another 4 months until i dust off my trowel and go searching for Romans again.

I wonder what treasures and surprises will turn up this year, from both Vindo and Magna.

I have it in the living room 😂

There's nothing positive about that photo, it's a lifeless glass and metal desert

I'm fortunate enough to be in a position that allows me the time and money to volunteer on archaeological projects. I'm very well aware how poorly paid archaeology is so am more than happy to pay if it helps fund a project.

Meat drones to soak up Ukrainian resources. And it works for them, no need for fancy expensive tech.
