Herlaugshaugen is one of Norway's largest burial mounds #TombTuesday

Excavation found evidence for one of Scandinavia's earliest ship burials, indicating pre-Viking connections across Northern Europe, possibly all the way to Sutton Hoo in England.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Pre-Columbian Art/Archaeology at Dumbarton Oaks/Harvard University Dumbarton Oaks is a research institute affiliated with Harvard University that supports research internationally in the field of Pre-Columbian Studies. In addition to world-renowned library and museum collections, Dumbarton Oaks’ Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) holds more than a million unique items in a variety of media, including extensive material relating to the language and ceramics of the ancient Maya elite. Dumbarton Oaks invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join a team working to create comprehensive access to Justin Kerr’s systematic photographic documentation of ancient Maya painted ceramics.  The Postdoctoral Fellow in Pre-Columbian Art/Archaeology will receive training in archival processing and digital curation and will support digitization initiatives to increase access to ICFA collections for scholars and the public. The Fellow will be fully integrated into the Library and Pre-Columbian Studies Program and will work closely with  the staff of the Image Collection and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) to process the Justin Kerr Collection, which consists of photographs of approximately 6,000 unique Mesoamerican objects. To date, the majority of the photographs previously available on Justin Kerr’s website  have been migrated to Harvard’s HOLLIS Images platform, but only about 50% of the vessels with hieroglyphic texts have been fully cataloged. The goal of the Fellowship will be to complete the cataloging of vessels with legible inscriptions and to describe iconography on all uncatalogued Maya objects. The Kerr Collection complements further documentation of ancient Maya ceramics and exhaustive documentation of Moche and Nasca ceramics in other ICFA collections. Outcomes of the fellowship may include scholarly publications on ancient Maya epigraphy and iconography as well as contributions to open access digital platforms and further expansion of a gateway to Justin Kerr’s photographs of Maya ceramics to be published alongside Dumbarton Oaks’ Moche Iconography site. This fellowship offers unique opportunities to build career skills with special collections and digital technologies while benefiting from the unique resources of Dumbarton Oaks. The Fellow will participate fully in Dumbarton Oaks’ dynamic community of scholars and programming in Pre-Columbian Studies and will devote 20% of the fellowship time to personal research. This is a one-year fellowship appointment, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years. Applicants must have fulfilled all the requirements for the PhD by the time of application. The Postdoctoral Fellow will report to the Director of the Library.  The Postdoctoral Fellow will have access to the outstanding resources of the institute and become part of the larger research community at Dumbarton Oaks. The Fellowship carries a stipend of $67,600 per year with an additional $3,000 annual, taxable research allowance. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be eligible for medical insurance through the Dumbarton Oaks Fellows’ plan and will be provided with an office space, access to the library and museum collections, and complimentary weekday lunches, among other privileges of our community of fellows.  The health of our community is a priority for Harvard University. With that in mind, we strongly encourage all employees to be up to date on CDC-recommended vaccines.

It just happens, we max out the comfy when we want.

At one point, the bed was the office chair due to room constraints, but y'know... happens.

And we fall asleep to a lot, I've been in a Jeep that almost flipped multiple times and I was dead asleep.

Turtles May Have Been Tasty Snacks for Neanderthals 125,000 Years Ago. But Their Shells Were Probably the Real Prize New research based on fragments discovered at the Neumark-Nord site in Germany suggests Neanderthals may have transformed the shells into tools

📰 Did #Neanderthals hunt European pond turtles for their shells?

Given everything stated in your streams, I don't feel threatened, but I do feel protective.

Unless you pull out your gun. Or sword. Or a belt. That usually works.

A beige clay theatre mask that shows a face. Hair is indicated and there are very round openings for the eyes and the opening for the mouth gives the face a look of astonishment. The shapes of the eyes and mouth make it reminiscent of a cyberman.

I just can't help thinking there must have been a Cybermen invasion around the Germanic Limes at some point...
This theatre mask was found in Groß-Gerau and is from c.100/200 CE; you can see it at the Saalburg Museum today.

Photo of a man with curly brown hair and glasses, looking at a close up of a ceramic thin section on a computer screen. The thin section itself is lying on a circular stage on a black digital microscope in front of him.

Huge thanks to Jordan & Evident Microscopy who custom designed our new DSX2000 digital microscope, developing a whole new interchangable rotating stage to meet our requirements.

We can now run a whole suite of analysis on items including ancient coins, ceramics, metals and bone objects. 🏺🔬🧪

PROCESSION IN HONOUR OF DIANA, 209-211 CE. VATICAN MUSEUMS

This fresco fragment comes from a building near Porta Laurentina in Ostia Antica, and was excavated in 1868, two years before papal collections of antiquities stopped with the taking of Rome by the kingdom of Italy. It was part of a painted calendar, and shows the celebration of the Natales Dianæ on 13 August, the main religious ceremony of the month. Against a cinnabar red background, 4 children at left, wearing formal dress, raise torches to a statue of the goddess, who is shown in the act of drawing an arrow from her quiver. To the right, a procession of 5 children is departing rightward. The first boy seems to be directing the others. Two are carrying staffs with bunches of grapes hanging from them, and two hold baskets of fruit.
