  2. A Bronze Age barrow in Suffolk sat empty for 2,000 years. Then Romans enclosed it, built a painted shrine beside it, and buried six pig skulls facing east. Nobody knows which god. #RomanBritain #Archaeology #BronzeAge anthropology.net/p/six-pig-sku

  3. Intensive farming trapped Çatalhöyük in a cycle of land stress, study finds

    A thousand years of farming helped Çatalhöyük thrive, but the same system slowly placed growing strain on the settlement. A new computer model suggests the community’s later shift grew from long-term pressure on land, rather than one sudden climate event. Çatalhöyük stood on the Konya Plain in central Turkey...

  13. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦊🧩 A taxidermied head bought at an #antique market as a #fox was identified as a #thylacine, the extinct #marsupial known as the Tasmanian #tiger.

    Only the second known mounted specimen, it was confirmed by X-ray and added to the International Thylacine Specimen Database. Researchers may sample its #teeth for #DNA.

  14. 🔺️Explore the "Pyramid of Hellinikon" (Πυραμίδα του Ελληνικού), a stone monument in #Greece, situated along the historical road to Tegea (37°35′14″N 22°40′17″E). Archaeologists debate its origin—(4th c. BCE)—and its purpose. Although in late antiquity it was considered a "polyandrion"(πολυάνδριον/ collective burial mount), today it is regarded as a fort/watchtower (pyrgion/πυργίον) or a fire-signal tower (fryktoria/φρυκτωρία).
