Working on an article, and stumbled on this after many years. Incredible no? Camelid fiber woven bag/basket from pre-urban Tiwanaku (~AD 400-600), from Southern Peru or northern Chile. Published in Nicole Couture's chapter in the 2004 "Tiwanaku: Ancestor of the Inca" book.

The Commission is pushing for a massive increase in funding for Horizon Europe 2028-2034. If I understand correctly, Pillar I, which includes @erc.europa.eu and Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowships, would go from the current €25 billion to €44 billion. Let's hope it happens!
