A black - white cartoon explaining the different ways sites get buried

It's really fabulous to wake up to 9k followers 😮🥳. Diolch yn Fawr / thank you everyone 🙏

As a thank you - here is my 1994 Toby the Trowel explainer: 'How Sites Get Buried' 🤔

Surely the most common question ever asked of an archaeologist in a trench..🧐🏺

Hobgoblin!

A low poly rat I made. Thank you

If you see this you MUST open blender and make a low-poly rat. I just did it and it made me happy

My photo shows the front of a warm-yellow coloured Minoan clay flask, hand painted in black with a frontally depicted octopus. The flask measures 27 cm (about 10.5 inches) in height. It has a short spout at the top with a small loop handle at either side. The octopus is swimming diagonally with its eight writhing, sucker-lined arms covering the whole surface of the flask. It stares out at the viewer with wide, almost cartoon-like eyes. Additional motifs include sea urchins, tritons, small rocks and seaweed. Minoan decoration depicting sea motifs is known by scholars as the ‘Marine Style’. The flask was excavated in 1903 at a Bronze Age settlement site at Palaikastro. The Palaikastro excavations, carried out between 1902 and 1906, were run by R. Bosanquet and R.M. Dawkins from the British School of Athens. The flask is part of the collections at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Heraklion, Crete.

Marvellous 3,500 year-old Minoan clay flask decorated with a wide-eyed octopus 🐙❤️

Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.

Oh wow, I forgot about this track! That whole soundtrack is so great. I probably still have my CD somewhere…

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Pixel art text mode style picture of a tower standing by a cliff. The tower looks ancient and mossy, made of pinkish stone. Birds are standing on the building top. there is rocky platforms at its base as well as a little tree, some stairs and a character standing. The building got a lower entrance and a higher entrance leading to a higher level on the cliff on which a little building blends into the mountain.

The old tower

Been enjoying these little video dairies on archaeological science experiments in round house building.

And, as always, if there is anyone who would like to share anything in regards to this story, the making of TRAIN DREAMS, or film production in Washington/the Pacific Northwest more broadly, my email is chase.hutchinson.writer@gmail.com.

The cover of The Inlander's February 26, 2026 culture/film section with the headline 'This Is My Apocalypse Now' with the subhead Train Dreams began with an unexpectedly rough plane landing. Now it may fly high at the Oscars with a still of Joel Edgerton as protagonist Robert Granier flying in a plane while looking to his right at the world growing smaller below him as the sun shines behind them in the film's final frames.

NEW: TRAIN DREAMS, Clint Bentley’s transcendent Washington film may fly high at the Oscars, but it began with an unexpectedly rough plane landing. This is the story of the little film that could which one producer called their APOCALYPSE NOW📽️

Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax

Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."

A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."

Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Phil! My goal is to make something sustainable, and it’s been hard not going as fast as my excitement would like, haha. I’ve spent the last couple of years building, compiling, interviewing and studying though, I think it will be a sturdy foundation to build on

This is how I felt seeing Yo-Yo Ma perform live. The talent and expertise to make something look so fun and easy (as in, no visible strain but also done while at ease) is extraordinary to witness

100% this, my friends and I watch a lot of game-reality-shows but I can’t handle ones where everyone has a tragic backstory, and/or there’s a heartbreaking betrayal (largely due to casting people who don’t seem to know they’re there to play a game)

Celeb Traitors is fab because it has none of that!
