Iron Age bronze needs copper and tin. Copper sources across ancient Africa were varied — traded, mixed, regional. The tin is different. A new study fingerprinted the metal in Iron Age artifacts across the continent. Almost all of it traces to one mountain valley. Smiths across centuries and thousands of miles, drawing from the same place. #archaeology #history #ironage

A Raspberry Pi and 16 LED wavelengths pulled invisible layers out of a meter of black Iron Age soil at Sorte Muld, Bornholm, and made bone fluoresce without filters. Roughly 20x cheaper than hyperspectral. #Archaeology #Geoarchaeology #IronAge https://www.anthropology.net/p/sixteen-wavelengths-on-an-iron-age

2,500-year-old Iron Age settlement with mysterious ditch found in Bochum

Archaeologists have found the first known prehistoric settlement remains in the southwestern part of Bochum, Germany. The finds include a 2,500-year-old ceramic bowl, a decorated spindle whorl, and traces of an ancient farmstead. The remains came to light before construction began on a new housing project in the Linden district...

La cultura tashtyk (s. I-VII d.C.) aplicaba yeso sobre la cara de los difuntos para crear una máscara funeraria. Esta cubría el cráneo de un hombre de los siglos III-IV d.C. que probablemente murió por un corte desde el ojo hacia la mandíbula izquierda. Como otros hombres, su máscara es roja con líneas negras. Las mujeres solían tener máscaras blancas con espirales rojas. 🏛️Hermitage #edaddelhierro #ironage

[the 95% reduction in rain is ugly of course, but glad they are surveying as it were]
“Lost [sic] archaeological sites have emerged in grasslands across Wales after a prolonged spell of hot and dry weather.
Wales has seen about 5% of the average rainfall for July, after a series of back-to-back heatwaves and a drier than usual April to June. A drought has also been triggered in parts of Wales.
Experts said these dry conditions have brought to light a range of hidden archaeological remains, including Roman buildings and practice trenches from World War One.
Many are only visible from the air as distinctive marks in crops and grass, with some not being seen for "two or three decades", according to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW).
The crop marks are made by vegetation drawing on better nutrients and water supplies trapped in long-gone fortification ditches - leading to green growth that stands out…”

Ancient DNA reveals Scythian elite families passed power across generations

A new ancient DNA study suggests political power among Iron Age Scythian elites stayed within the same families for generations. The findings offer a new view of how social rank and leadership grew across the ancient Eurasian steppe...

En el centro y oeste de Jutlandia, Dinamarca, están los hulbælter. Son grupos de agujeros en el suelo de la Edad del hierro, con dichos grupos dispuestos en quincunces entre sí, repitiéndose longitudinalmente. Se ha sugerido que sean huellas de trampas, como las lilia romanas en el asedio de Alesia del 52. #edaddelhierro #ironage

Brain removal, whittled bones, and a 265km genetic network: a reanalysis of two Iron Age burials in northern Scotland reveals mobile kin, distant Orcadian relatives, and funerary practices stranger and more deliberate than almost anything else from the period. #IronAge #Osteoarchaeology #AncientDNA @Antiquity https://www.anthropology.net/p/bone-tools-and-borrowed-bodies-the

El caldero de Gundestrup es un recipiente de plata de Edad del Hierro (200 a.C.-300 d.C., probablemente antes de nuestra era). Aunque se encontró en una turbera danesa, se habría elaborado en Galia o Tracia, con muchos detalles celtas. Atendiendo a las reparaciones, de menor calidad, debió usarse durante siglos. 🏛️Museo Nacional de Dinamarca 📷Lennart Larsen #edaddelhierro #ironage

El casco getodacio dorado de Coțofenești del 450-400 a.C., envuelto en imágenes mitológicas. Aunque pudo ser fabricado en un taller griego, su decoración muestra influencia persa y asiria. 🏛️Museo Drents de Assen #edaddelhierro #ironage

Una noble celta de la Edad del Hierro (250-200 a.C.) enterrada en un tronco hueco como ataúd en Zúrich, Suiza, que se encontró a 80 m de un guerrero de la misma época. Precederían así a la fundación de Turicum en el 15 a.C. Murió con 40 años, presentando artritis y caries. Su condición privilegiada se supone por sus ropas, sus joyas de materiales obtenidos en tierras lejanas y la falta de desgaste por un trabajo físico intenso. 📷Universidad de Zúrich #celtas #celts #edaddelhierro #ironage
