This is definitely a wow! A beautifully preserved folding chair was excavated from a Stone Age burial mound in Souther Jutland in 1891. Made around 1400 BCE, it had an otter skin seat, of which only fragments of it remained. But the wooden part made from ash had geometric designs carved in to it and inlaid with a black 'tar'. The grave showed the high status of the man, as he was buried with a number of 'wealthy' possessions. https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/guldhoj-folding-chair-the-only-completely-preserved-chair-from-bronze-age-europe

2,200-year-old Chinese tomb reveals ancient roots of a famous leaf-wrapped food tradition

Plant bundles found in a 2,200-year-old Chu tomb in China share the basic form of modern zongzi, but served a different purpose. Researchers studying plant remains from the Wuwangdun Tomb say the bundles offer the oldest known evidence for a tradition resembling zongzi, the leaf-wrapped food eaten during China’s Dragon Boat Festival...

Ancient harbors were far larger than their surviving walls suggest

Ancient Mediterranean harbors are often judged by the structures still visible today. Quays, jetties and moles form the clearest traces, so they often shape estimates of how many ships a port once handled. A new study argues for a wider view. Ancient harbors worked as larger systems, with ships also using nearby bays...
