Archaeologists found a 6,200-year-old megastructure in Romania linked to the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture. Much larger than nearby homes, it likely served a communal or elite function, but its exact purpose remains unknown

53 bronze and 10 flint arrowheads with various forms.
Arrowheads from the 13th-century-BC conflict in the Tollense Valley 🇩🇪
Variation in their forms suggest some of the combatants came from many kilometres away, adding to evidence for a clash between local and incoming groups.

Excavated circular pit at the kurgan, containing a burial.
Revova Kurgan 3 is a monumental structure in Ukraine's North Pontic Steppe. Originally an Eneolithic ritual site, it was used as a burial mound by the Bronze Age Yamna culture. Does this reuse of sacred spaces indicate cultural continuity? #TombTuesday 🏺 #Archaeology

Map of Japan, split into 8 different-coloured regions to display the spread of rice farming by period, beginning in the south-west ~1039 BC and ending in the north-east ~152 BC.
The spread of rice farming across 1st millennium BC Japan. Introduced by migrant farmers from the Korean peninsula, the grain caused a population boom. Variation in growth rate indicates diverse interactions between farmers and foragers.

"Dear people of the UK, when you go to vote on May 7th, just before you write the X in the box, count to 10 and think about what's happening in America. A quick recap below:"

The good Americans! 🤎✌🏼
Cutting from the Manchester Evening News, Sat 20th May 1916: "PUT YOUR CLOCK FORWARD! ----- Important 'Move' to be Made To-night. ----- First Day of Daylight-saving To-morrow. ----- Daylight saving begins to-morrow. By the operation of the Summer Time Act two o'clock tomorrow morning will become three o'clock, and from that time until the end of the summer our clocks will be an hour in advance of Greenwich mean time. Though the official change in clocks is to be made at 2 a.m., the private individual will doubtless put his clocks forward before retiring to bed to-night. It is very important that the necessary alteration should be made. ----- Put the Clock Forward TO-NIGHT Or you will be an Hour Late TO-MORROW. ------ Forgetful people who allow their timepiece to go on without making the sixty minute jump will find themselves behind everybody else."
"Forgetful people who allow their timepiece to go on without making the sixty minute jump will find themselves behind everybody else" - so remember tonight's important "move", folks!
(From May 1916, when summer time first came in)

Out today is our paper 'Genomic history of early dogs in Europe', in which we uncover the identity of the dogs that lived in Europe before agriculture—during the Paleolithic & Mesolithic periods: doi.org/10.1038/s415.... A thread ⬇️ (10)

This is figure 1 from “Genomic history of early dogs in Europe.” It shows genomic screening identifies early dogs in Europe.
Domesticated dogs were already widely distributed in western Eurasia at least 14,200 years ago, according to two studies published in Nature. The papers report the oldest known dog genomes to date.
