Heute!
In Berlin ist Mamoun Fansa gestorben, gebürtiger Aleppiner. In #Oldenburg hat er mit der Dauerausstellung des Landesmuseums Natur und Mensch Bleibendes geschaffen. Sehenswertes abseits der großen Touristenrouten. Er träumte davon, seine Heimatstadt in Syrien nach dem Krieg wieder aufzubauen. RIP
Morgen am 21.4. um 18:15 geht es los mit einem Vortrag von Stefan Wenzel:
Für bessere Zahngesundheit - zum Export-Boom von Reibsteinen aus Mayener Basaltlava vor 3000 Jahren

Book cover of Fragmentation in Greek Sanctuaries and Bronze Age Hoards. An Interdisciplinary Approach, edited by Azzurra Scarci and Holger Baitinger. The cover shows a pile of fragmented bronze tripod elements from Olympia, with visible decorative patterns and ornamentation. The title appears in large white text above the objects, and the LEIZA Publications logo is placed at the bottom.
New in LEIZA Publications and #OpenAccess:
Fragmentation in Greek Sanctuaries and Bronze Age Hoards (eds. A. Scarci & H. Baitinger) explores why objects were deliberately broken - from ritual practices to recycling - across Europe and the Mediterranean.
