  5. Wondering (not really asking—I'll find it) where the page is to send corrections to the OED. Its entries for Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic all say the Stone Age is divided into those three. The Stone Age entry, on the other hand, says it's divided into Palaeolithic and Neolithic. (Maybe it's less up to date than the other three?)

    Her "Early Man Was a Woman," the first comic to win #Germany’s top #nonfiction prize, argues the #StoneAge was more egalitarian than the familiar male-hunter image. #Paleolithic #art favors female figures, she notes, yet male researcher bias long dismissed them.

  17. A beautiful fresco and mosaic featuring a maritime city has been unveiled by Italian authorities. It was found during excavations in the 1990s and has been restored. Situated on Oppio Hill opposite the Colosseum, visitors can see the art work during a trial period of access commencing this month. The artwork features a city port from the perspective of a bird flying over. It forms part of a complex that was though to be for Roman baths. independent.co.uk/news/roman-c

  23. We Were Not Looking by Dante Muhammad, 2026

    We Were Not Looking reconstructs the world assumed by the patriarchal narratives through the environmental and political realities of the Middle Bronze Age Near East. Drawing on ancient Near Eastern geography, hydrology, land law, and tribal anthropology, the study examines how the movements of the patriarchs reflect the territorial and ecological dynamics of the Levantine corridor.
