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…”
