Haha, bestemt. Det er nok meget on brand som de unge siger.

Gad vide om de her kartofler har ligget lidt for længe bagerst i mit køleskab?

I did!

Næste artikel kommer med overskriften: “Over 100 humpback whales have choked on seals and you’ll never guess why!”

Det er i hvert fald ikke carbonara for jeg kan ikke se hverken fløde, champignon eller skinkestrimler.

Det er satme også stærkt at sidde i 2025 og drikke pisang ambon. Vanvittig energi.

Bosch kan godt pakke sammen når man først har set nærmere på Holbein.

And in the end, mine own wall of wonder art thee.”

- Hellere at nogen tager hånd om dem og får noget fint ud af dem Mens flere bornholmere holder sommerferie, bliver der ryddet op hos Bornholms Træbådelaug. For de mangler plads - og derfor giver de flere høvle væk.

Her kunne man godt savne den gule breaking-bjælke for hot diggety der er travlt på Solskinsøen.

Any other day, I would've picked up some cyanide and go poison some pigeons in the park. I'll demineralise some sheep in hydrochloric acid instead. Still, it seems fitting to do on this sad day.

It's just a few weeks ago when I found out that Tom Lehrer was still around. And now he is not.

I think that is a question for an evolutionary proctologist.

Too many to count.

Not gonna lie: Indiana Jones.

We need more experiments on how the remains of infants and children are affected by cremation and subsequent burial.

I hope that cleared it up a little bit but this distinction is something you could spend a whole day at a conference arguing about.

Without care for documenting and preserving any kind of information about the robbed graves or their archaeological context. It’s pure destruction where one might argue that archaeology is more controlled or ethical (for lack of a better word) destruction with a scientific purpose.

So, what about graverobbery? First off, it’s done illegally which is a huge difference. But graverobbery is not concerned with preservation or studying and learning anything. It’s done for personal gain and practically carried out…

Excavation is a last measure, especially, because it is extremely destructive. We can’t un-dig what we have already dug and during excavation we have to destroy a lot of archaeology in order to study it. Postholes is a good example of this.

However, we also excavate because we want to preserve as much of our cultural heritage as possible. Paradoxically, this means that when it comes down to it we’d prefer to *not* excavate at all. Unless a site is under threat of damage or destruction the archaeology is best preserved staying un-dug…

And put all that information into a larger, cultural context. This is how we’re able to provide, often, detailed narratives about how people lived thousands of years into the past.

Archaeology, as opposed to grave robbery, concerns itself with excavation of, in this context, graves in order to gain insights into past human behaviors and lifeways. But we’re not just concerned about the bones. We’ll meticulously document how the grave was made, what objects, if any, included…

It’s a difficult discussion to have here and there are grey areas but first off: archaeology has no fixed timeframe. Subfields such as contemporary archaeology, forensic archaeology or conflict archaeology deals with the very recent past. So archaeology could be 10 minutes ago or 100.000 years ago.

It’s that time of the year again. Umeshu - or something like it.

This year I’m mixing it up a bit with one batch with blackcurrant, one with redcurrant, two with cane sugar, one with ordinary sugar and one with a mix of cane and ordinary sugar.

Now we just wait for six to twelve months.

Spent the evening giving my son an introduction to archaeological excavation methodology with a Tyrannosaurid acting as proxy for an 8th century inhumation grave.

Jeg tænker mere på hvad det er for nogle hardcore turister der kommer på jeres kanter som trodser vejrguderne på den måde.

I hope Heaven, Hell, or whatever void has all the bats a Prince of Darkness can consume.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Det rigtige spørgsmål i denne sammenhæng er hvem der tager på en byvandring under er dobbelt skybrud?

Scientists could be accidentally damaging fossils with a method we thought was safe A common scanning method used to create ‘virtual copies’ of precious fossils could be erasing some of the crucial information held within.

"[...] the radiocarbon age remained unchanged. In other words, micro-CT scanning doesn’t affect radiocarbon dating [...]

[...] we did observe a significant decrease in the amount of collagen present [...] the micro-CT scanned samples had about 35% less collagen than the samples before scanning."
