Learned so much about the Stone Age last night with mini-volcanologist at this great event with @gregjenner.bsky.social and Prof Nicky Milner. I know nothing about our local Starr Carr Mesolithic site. So cool.
Photograph of a lecture. On the screen is a slide with a book titled 'Totally Chaotic history-the stone age runs wild' by Greg Jenner and Brenna Hassett. The book cover has a mammoth chasing a stone age person. On either side of the book image is a photo of Greg Jenner and Nicky Milner. Photograph of a girl handling some archaeological artefacts. She's handling a strange blob which is a fungi. Also on the table is some deer antlers that would have been worn as a head dress, since twine, bark, and bows.

Hey artists, quote with your woman art 🌬️

A character from Ogmos (my fantasy world). She's a chieftain of a tribe inspired by Mesolithic hunters-gatherers (among other things). I have yet to give her a name and a proper story tho
A plus-sized woman wearing clothes made of hide. On her left hand, she hold a spear with a stone head, while with her right hand she’s casting a spell, which takes the shape of a blue double swirl. She wears tattoos on both of her forearm, as well as on her forehead and under her left eye. The tattoo on her left forearm depicts dots forming three conic shapes, while the tattoo on her right arm look has a swirly design. Meanwhile, the tattoo on her forehead look almost like a horizontal headband, with a sun symbol in the middle. And the tattoo under her left eye also looks like a swirl, but with three dots under it. She also has a tan skin, brown eyes, long and wavy brown hair, and three feathers behind each of her ears.

New investigations of the burial of the shaman—a woman, with dozens of grave goods—are helping archaeologists in Germany understand the rituals she performed as a supernatural intercessor 9,000 years ago.

Something lovely for the weekend!

Magical amber animals from the Mesolithic. Carved between 10,000-7,000 years ago.

Amber can generate static electricity⚡️ For their ancient owners, these small animals could give off sparks in the dark and make hair stand on end, as if by magic✨

My photo collage shows four images of small animal figurines carved from amber during the Danish Mesolithic period. Top left: profile photo of the head, neck, and part of the front torso of an animal (bear?) facing left. Carved from deep orange amber. Found at Bølling Sø (lake) Central Jutland, Denmark. Top right: small almost complete figurine of an amber bear seen in profile facing right. The lower legs are incomplete. The ears, muzzle and mouth are defined. Carved from translucent orange amber. Washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark. Bottom left: small figurine in the shape of a bear(?) carved from dark orange amber. It is known asvthe Resen Bear. There is fine incised geometric ornamentation on the body. Found in a bog at Resen, Denmark. Bottom left: bright orange amber animal head shown in profile facing left. Found in 1952 at Egemarke in Denmark, it is known as the Egemarke Elk. It is decorated with incised bands of closely aligned parallel zig-zag lines. There are two circular perforations at the bottom of the neck. All on display at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.

Yesterday I went to see the Rock Art in La Sarga. A series of coves with paintings from the Mesolithic and Chalcolithic Eras. It was quite magical.

It was so gratifying. The scene of deers running with all kinds of details and the gathering scene... These photos make no justice to the real thing.
View of one of La Sarga caves from the bottom. Image of one of the coves with Rock Art in the top. Detail of one of the coves. An Offerer figure on the top and two deers that run away scared leaving a trail of blood. Detail of a cove. A stag running with blood coming from his snout and a serpent-like figure on the right.

To ease you into the weekend, here's a lovely film by Guy Schofield, one of two winners of this year's President’s Award.

The film is about an interactive mural commissioned by York Museums Trust for the exhibition Star Carr: Life After The Ice.

Enjoy! 😊
