I’m constantly thinking about all the stuff we miss in archaeology except in exceptional preservation conditions. Like whisks! Not an object that I would think to put into a reconstruction drawing.

Two wooden whisks, each with a central handle and multiple short, evenly spaced prongs radiating outward from one end. The prongs appear to be natural offshoots of the wood.

There are so many amazing finds from prehistoric pile dwellings settlements: 3,500-year-old wooden whisks found in settlements at the Lake Carera/Italy.
By rotating the shaft, it’s possible to whip cream until it turns into butter. Larger whisks were presumably used for.... 🧵 1/2

Grilled peaches is even better!

Oh look, it’s the Bluebird of Angry Death Glares.

Yep, same at UC Berkeley, co-ed bathroom with individual toilet and shower stalls.

🧪🦣🏺 Who wants to hear a story about biotech billions, unscientific claims, and shoddy smear tactics attacking women in science*?

Like science? Then you better be interested when *someone* starts putting out hit pieces on scientists. This is beyond the pale ethically and honestly anyone who doesn’t want to slide to hell on a slick of ai generated content that benefits billionaire business, maybe now is the time to get angry.

Excellent gif use.

You can actually see the pile on it!

It’s disgusting that this bigotry gets wrapped in a veneer of “feminism”.

I want to share a few amazing nuggets here that didn't make it into the piece about the tomato and potato.

Some tater tots. If you will.

Genus Solanum is the genus containing all the potats, the tomats, eggplants, peppers, SO many of our veggies.

But only one CLADE of these makes TUBERS.

The portrait of Miss Lambe next to artist Lela Harris.

Incredible to be at the installation today of Lela Harris’s breathtaking new portrait of Miss Lambe, from #Sanditon. Lela undertook the commission as Artist in Residence from our exhibition Austen and Turner: A Country House Encounter at Harewood House. 1/

Here’s some info on Ottawa’s walking school bus program: www.ottawasafetycouncil.ca/walking-scho...

Large-scale processing of within-bone nutrients by Neanderthals, 125,000 years ago Neanderthals intensively processed a minimum of 172 large mammals for grease and marrow fat, 125,000 years ago.

So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts.

Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible?

Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

(I grew up in a car dependent southern California town so I know that pain and I’m never going back willingly).

I’m lucky enough to live in a neighborhood w/ both the elementary & middle school in a <15 walk (Hamilton, ON, CA) but I was still jealous of my sister-in-law’s neighborhood in Ottawa which has a WALKING school bus, a line of kids w/ adult supervision walking the same route every day.

Yes! So pretty. I would have loved on of the stuffed replicas that an exhibition in Japan was selling.

Here's one of my old graphite drawings of outdoor spaces at Çatalhöyük showing a stamp seal being used on bread. If I remember correctly, the idea was to show them as more of a maker's mark but I love the idea of a decorative border instead.

I like the focus on foods: reckon not enough attention paid in general for potential for such things to be decorative in prehistory. Thinking of Bronze Age food moulds from Mari; or that Neolithic stamps at Catalhoyuk might be just as likely for bread as for textiles

I really need Caity Weaver and Rich Juzwiak to get the team back together so they can do a Gawker “The Best Restaurant in New York City is…” style review of the Tesla Diner.
