A Staggering Excavation Has Rewritten The Fall of The Roman Empire
Interamna Lirenas has turned out to be far more than a “backwater town” of the Roman Empire. According to a published study in Roman Urbanism in Italy, this central Italian town thrived well beyond previous belief, using its impressive urban features and forward-thinking design to stave off the effects of the empire’s collapse well into the 3rd century AD. “We started with a site so unpromising that no one had ever tried to excavate it,” Alessandro Launaro, the study’s author […] -
Analysis at a megalithic #tomb at #Bury, north of #Paris, shows two separate phases of burial: unusually young deaths in the 3100s BCE—perhaps indicating major crisis such as war or famine—and an unrelated population derived from #Iberia some centuries later.
This supports evidence elsewhere in #Europe of a #Neolithic #population #collapse ~5000 years ago.

I just replaced the platform of my potter's wheel. The main source for this medieval kickwheel is a playing card from 1455 depicting a potter at work (Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien).
Second image: using the kickwheel during my last event at #utrecht (Hanne Hansen Photography).

Side note: this isn't completely out of left field. IIRC #archeology texts in the Middle East from a couple thousand years ago sometimes speak of "Yahweh and his Asherah". One scholar said, "We don't know exactly what an Asherah was, but Jehovah definitely had one." (sorry, can't find the reference at the moment).
Asherah was apparently a "consort" of Yahweh/Jehovah in early worship/mythology. She was explicitly female and explicitly sexually involved with #Yahweh ("consort" apparently means they were banging it out).
Asherah was apparently not the same as Ishtar, but I figured few people would have any knowledge of Asherah.

I'm trying out marbling techniques. The two small bowls are finished, the tall bottle is still in progress. The 17th century original in the picture (from the Victoria and Albert museum) was made in northern Italy. Marbled wares like these used to be shipped far and wide, for example to north-west Europe but sometimes as far as the Americas.

Fresh from the kiln: my first try at a filigree jug! The original jug dates back to 1550-1600 and was found in a potter's waste dump in the Aulgasse in Siegburg. Collection Boijmans van Beuningen.
