The ROM is hosting an exhibition on Crawford Lake, one of the best studied Iroquoian woodland village in Ontario. The lake is famous for its "Golden Spike" and almost pristine soil core from the lake bed documenting over 700 years of human agriculture. #Archaeology

Is the notch in the blade from use, or was it cast that way?

Author and YouTuber Dan Davis just put out a video on the "God-Kings" of Neolithic Ireland about two days ago. This is a great piece to have comparatively to that story. Congrats on the publication Penny.

Proving that vikings could sail further than previously thought isn't the same as proving they did. Work from the record towards your experimental archaeology, not the other way around.

What about the vulture?

No wonder he was the brains of the operation.

You should walk out on that commitment. It's dyed the soul of your nation and turned it into a place where cruelty and religious extremism are viewed as legitimate exercises of authority.

What America going to do? Trade btc for USD? Yuan? USD is what you want, it's what the vast majority of crypto holders want, crypto is just the vehicle to get them there.

The exquisite band on this point was likely a deliberate choice. I'm not sure how a quartz band like this would impact knapping but the point is well formed and preserved.

Still can't believe how many times we had to watch this guy die. It was like the most replayed scene in all of SEED and that's saying alot.

I won't begrudge anyone their vices, but for me the feeling of losing money for nothing is way worse than the feeling of getting "free" money is good.
