More than 800 objects unearthed near Melsonby show the north was ‘definitely not a backwater’ 2,000 years ago

There is an alternative view from London. Those thieving northerners just stole it all! Goes for the Welsh, the Irish and the Scots as well, varmints the lot of them.

Ancient jewelry made from meteorites discovered in Poland Researchers have made a remarkable find in Poland’s Częstochowa Museum collection—several ancient ornaments made from meteoritic iron. A team of Polish and French scientists analyzed burial objects from two early Iron Age graveyards, Częstochowa-Raków and Częstochowa-Mirów. The findings, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, confirmed that three bracelets, an ankle ring, and a pin contain meteoritic iron. This makes them one of the biggest known groups of such artifacts at an archaeological site. These cemeteries, which date back to about 750–600 BCE, are linked to the Lusatian culture...

1,720-year-old Roman boundary stone discovered in Galilee reveals names of two lost villages A team of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and international archaeologists has uncovered a rare 1,720-year-old Roman boundary stone at the Tel Abel Beth Maacah dig near Metula in northern Israel. The basalt slab, which is inscribed in Greek, provides a very rare glimpse into the administrative organization of the Roman Empire during the Tetrarchy period (293–306 CE), when the empire was governed by two senior emperors, Augusti, and two junior colleagues, Caesares. The inscription reads as follows: “Diocletian and Maximian, the Augusti, and Constantius and Maximian, the Caesars, ordered the placement of this stone marking the boundaries of the fields of the settlements of Tirathas and Golgol. Made under the supervision of Basiliakos.” Scholars have stated that the inscription introduces two new village names, Tirathas and Golgol, and mentions for the first time Basiliakos, an imperial tax official...

I went petroglyph peeping today!

#Archeology #RockArt #Photography #Darktable
Color photo of a large broken dark colored rocks with light colored petroglyph carvings. On the left is a geometric figure that looks like a ladder pointing to the right. Lower left is a square divided into ten rectangles. Moving right along the bottom is a human looking figure with arms spread wide and three large fingers. The figure is covered in many dots. A dense stripe of dots along the bottom and a less dense series of dots covering the rest of the image. Above that are three curved lines forming arches, a big one, medium sized one, and small one underneath the other two. Top middle is a rectangle divided into ten side-by-side divisions. Over the upper-right side corner of the rectangle are a series of squiggly lines, perhaps suggesting a waterfall? Further to the right in the middle, is another square, but this time divided into eighteen small rectangles. And at the extreme right is a straight vertical shaft with a series of seven oval shapes on it like a shish kabob.

I found my new favorite coffee shop in Budapest 🥰 Pompeii Latte Art Cafe. They have a bookshelf entirely filled with books on Greek and Roman mythology! And archeology. And the coffee is amazing too. And you get quotes from Classical authors with your drink, on little scrolls. How cool is that?

Interior photo of the shop. Round tables and art deco chairs, decorated with colorful mosaics. A bookshelf featuring several books on mythology (and more books under the sugar and coffee bean cups on every table). Quotes painted on the walls.
