Bei Grabungen zwischen 1984 und 1990 auf dem „Weinberg“ bei Unseburg (Lkr. SLK) wurde dieser Schädel entdeckt. Untersuchungen ergaben, dass es sich bei der Toten um eine etwa 55 jährige Frau handelte. Das Grab wird in die Mittelsteinzeit zwischen 6550 und 6390 v.Chr. datiert. Mehr über das Grab und das Mesolithikum gibt es in der neuen Sonderausstellung „Die Schamanin“ im #museumhalle zu sehen. © LDA Sachsen-Anhalt, J. Lipták.

🌸 As we head full-on into Spring in the northern hemisphere (despite what the weather outside might be telling me), it makes me think of these lotus flowers from ancient Egypt that I photographed for Manchester Museum's 'To Have and To Heal' project in 2021.
The flowers were found on the chest of a 22nd Dynasty woman called Perenbast, a singer of the god Amun in ancient Thebes.

How do we stage broken #ceramics for photographic #reconstruction?
With painter’s tape, we hold the #sherds together just long enough to take a photo. 📸 Residue is then cleaned off with ethanol—so the pottery isn't glued.
This pot was found during an #excavation in Lower #Austria! Thrown on a potter's wheel, its characteristics suggest it's from the late 13th to early 15th century!#Archaeology #History #Museum

🏺A tiny pot found during John Garstang's excavations at the ancient site of Koshtamna in Sudan, seemingly plain until you realise all those marks in the surface were made by straw inclusions in the clay. It's details like that that make me happy ...
Several thousand years old and measuring only 8 cm, I photographed this for the Garstang Museum of Archaeology's 'Before Egypt' exhibition back in 2019. Photo © me.

Amulet of the Egyptian god Thoth (or Djehuty, to call him by his actual Egyptian name) in his form as a seated baboon, patron deity of scribes.
The crescent and full moon on his head reflect his lunar connection.
Dating from around the New Kingdom, the amulet is only 5.5 cm tall, and is in the collection at Manchester Museum.

Osiris on his throne in the Hall of Judgement. Detail, just a few cm tall, from a Saite Period Book of the Dead at the Garstang Museum of Archaeology. The papyrus had broken where it was rolled up, and the fragments had slipped inside the glass, so I realigned them in Photoshop. Photo © me.
I wrote an article a while back about how I go about realigning fragments of papyri post photography: https://tetisheri.co.uk/repairing-papyri-photoshop/

#FindsFriday 🐲 On an excavation in Fischamend Dorf near St. Stephan Cemetery, #SilverPfennigs from the High & Late #MiddleAges were found!🪙 Some stuck together, making them tricky to separate - though it is possible to make out lively motifs of dragons, panthers, eagles, roosters, winged lions & griffins!🦁

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

During an excavation in #LowerAustria, we discovered #cat bones, among other things, which #archaeozoologist #KarlKunst from the @univienna took a closer look at:
In contrast to other animal bones, they showed no traces of chopping or cutting.
So what were the cats doing? #Mouse hunters? #Pets? Or simply part of everyday life between the #MiddleAge and modern times? An exciting insight into the coexistence of #humans and #animals centuries ago -

For #FindsFriday we would like to present a find from a #Roman vicus in the #Carnuntum area: a strigilis!
A #strigilis is a metal body scraper with an elongated, curved tongue. It was used for body care in the #thermalbaths to remove oil, old skin residue and dirt from softened skin.
The back of this strigilis is decorated with three double grooves. The handle has no decorations, rivets or loops, which suggests that it once had a lead handle that has not survived.

For #findsfriday we have various #potterymarks from the late #middleages
These exciting pottery fragments, which show a wide variety of potter's marks and #stamps, were discovered during one of our #excavations in 2023. They are mainly applied to the rims of grey #earthenware pots and can provide clues as to the #manufacturer of the #vessels
The #pottery marks are incised X-shaped, V-shaped, cross-shaped, crest-shaped or with parallel notches.

For #findsfriday we have a #medieval #wheelspur from an excavation of a medieval deserted settlement in the #Matzen region. This wheel spur is characterised by a moderately short wheel holder and slightly curved shackles. The six prongs of the wheel are particularly striking.
Wheel spurs of this type came into use in #Austria from the first third of the 13th century as the successor to spiked spurs. -

For #FindsFriday, we would like to show you a vessel from our #excavation in #Grossmugl/ #LowerAustria!
It is a completely preserved sieve vessel with an open top and bottom. The exact function of this vessel is not yet known to us, but we suspect that it could be an incense burner. Comparisons can be found from the Early #BronzeAge #Věteřov culture in #Moravia.#archaeology #incenseburner #Austria #niederösterreich #Archäologie

For #Findsfriday, we would like to present a #pyxis from #Roman #Arelape (#Pöchlarn). This is a rare find made of bone, possibly even #ivory. The small box with the perforated lid was probably not yet finished, as the inside is still quite roughly moulded. Pyxids were storage containers for ointments and powders and can be counted as part of a woman's personal equipment in Roman times.
The object is exhibited in #Stadtmuseum Arelape Bechelaren.

For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round -
For #FindsFriday, we have some finds from the #cemetery of the #Elisabethinenspital in #Vienna. These were found during our 2019 #excavations on behalf of the #Franziskusspital. They are so-called #Breverl, paper pictures of #saints that were worn on the body, for example, in a #pendant made of metal and glass, to ward off #evil. The finds here date from the 18th century, but Breverl were widespread until the 20th century.
