Oblique aerial view of a square, tiered excavation, tapering as it descends creating a cone-like effect.
This isn't a funnel to the underworld, it's excavation at #Neolithic Dunavec, Albania!

Sky Disc of Nebra, reconstruction without green patina
The Nebra Sky Disk is particularly impressive. It is the deprocessualized and materialized symbolization of embodied experience of cyclical natural processes. A calendar from a time before ours. In my recent writings, I have attempted to explore what this means for a […]

The Towie Ball is a gorgeous Scottish petrosphere. Every time I see it, my heart stutters and my brain buzzes. The lines are intricate and refined, the globes smooth and sculpted. It pleases my lizard brain to no end. There's something comforting about it.
