A Hairdresser Solved a 2,000-Year-Old Roman Hairstyle Mystery
DEA PICTURE LIBRARY//Getty Images When Janet Stephens isn’t cutting or coloring someone’s hair, she’s reconstructing the hairstyles of the ancient world. A chance trip to the Walters Art Museum turned the Baltimore hairdresser into an amateur experimental archaeologist when she noticed something interesting about the hairstyles portrayed on several Roman busts. The “hair” adorning the statues on display was perfectly (and sometimes elaborately) coiffed, but there didn’t seem […] -

New study reveals how Stonehenge’s Altar Stone crossed ancient Britain
A massive sandstone block at the heart of Stonehenge has puzzled archaeologists for decades. Known as the Altar Stone, the six-ton megalith stands apart from the monument’s other stones because of its unusual origin. Researchers now believe the stone came from northeast Scotland, around 700 kilometers from Stonehenge..More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2026/06/study-reveals-how-stonehenges-altar-stone-crossed-britain/

Dear Lovely Peeps, I know this link is going around, but I wanted more information & I finally played for myself.
From the creator: 'The Met's collection skews heavily European. That bias would otherwise dominate the game: far more 17th-century Dutch paintings than sub-Saharan metalwork or pre-Columbian ceramics.
My goal is to create an experience where players encounter cultures and objects they'd rarely find elsewhere. ... The dataset has been weighted to reflect a broader range of cultures and time periods.
Some regions remain underrepresented even so, not because their material cultures are less rich, but because less of their heritage has been digitized, catalogued, or made openly accessible. I will continue to improve this coverage.'
I especially appreciated the links at the end. You are given a chance to revisit all of the day's artifacts, now complete with overview, provenance, references, & #history - plus the ability to see similar pieces according to location, time period, materials, or within the same gallery.
There are even free downloadable booklets of at least some of their collections.
To me, this is not a quick five-minute game you play while waiting for something else to happen; this is something you set time aside for, to understand you are going to be challenged - and you are going to learn. 😊
Your world is about to become so much bigger. 😃
