  2. Twelve wallaby incisors from a Cape York rockshelter carry tiny grass tree resin balls on their roots. Not tools. Probably a necklace, 1,200 years old, and the first of its kind ever found outside a burial in northeast Australia. #Archaeology #CapeYork #MaterialCulture anthropology.net/p/twelve-wall

  3. Enfin disponible en ligne : la thèse "Génie de la collection et échanges savants au XVIIe siècle, le modèle social et la symbolique culturelle du cabinet de curiosités" de Lorenzo Cirrincione !
