A Roman brick from Caesarea in modern-day Algeria holds something incredible. A worker left a handprint in the wet clay nearly 2,000 years ago. Even the worker’s fingerprints can still be seen.
The brick is now kept at the Cherchell Archaeological Museum. It gives us a rare connection to an ordinary person who lived during Roman times.

System Analysis of the Cycladic Frying Pans of the Keros Syros Type, Object NAMA 4974
This interdisciplinary study breaks with the classical archaeological paradigm that systematically classifies the geometrically structured clay discs of the Keros-Syros culture as ritual cult objects. Focusing on the reference artifact NAMA 4974 the system analysis demonstrates that the object functioned as an analog calculating engine.

This paper presents an interdisciplinary system analysis of the geometric clay artifact NAMA 4971 from the Cycladic Keros-Syros phase (ca. 2500 BC), traditionally interpreted as a "frying pan." Through precise trigonometric measurement and optical counting, the object is shown to be a highly complex, scriptless analogue large-scale chronometer.

Four ?Medieval lime kilns at Lerkila-Storholmen. Massive structures. Stockholm needed mortar. Runmarö had limestone and fuel.
Shipping quickline is dangerous though. Take in too much water and the cargo expands, splitting your ship like an orange.
