and asphodel as decorative motifs - all flowers/plants associated with tombs and divine purposes on Minoan seals and frescoes), other shapes are taken from other cultures. (if I remember correctly mostly from bronze age Iran.) I hope we get to make more, not all concepts were turned into assets.

Assets that came from these concepts were also in the first Kromlech dev diary - they're bronze decorations for barrowfolk tombs and other locations. You can see repeated motifs of horned sorcerer kings and Heron who carries souls back from Danain, so they can serve as undead sentinels.

Hiya, new followers and random passersby who like archaeology! If you liked my work on Kromlech, you might also be interested in the "Six Ages" games - both heavily inspired by the bronze age. (The 1st by Scytho-siberian horse nomads, 2nd more of a mix.) store.steampowered.com/app/881420/S...

Icelandic authorities just rerouted a planned hot water pipeline so as not to disturb an elf hill.

With @romanpalace.bsky.social apparently being told to knock it off, it quietly seems @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social had also gone dark. If this is a wider trend in the museum space it's to be regretted. Museums don't just exist to hold stuff. They tell stories about the past - and ourselves now.

Shame on whoever made the call to muzzle @romanpalace.bsky.social . Expanding reach should be the prime directive of any social media presence. The methods may have been unconventional at times but there was JOY. I'll miss you, you silly largest Roman residence north of the Alps.

That's day 1 digging at Knepp Castle done and dusted. Nine more to see what lies beneath the surface. Thanks to the volunteers who did damn well with the dry clay underfoot and @castlestudies.bsky.social for funding the project. youtube.com/shorts/XfyYy... #archaeology #medieval #castles

A book that's been in the making for half a century. (I've never seen an acknowledgement to a University Chauffeur before!)

***Stop Press*** A rather incredible piece of news just in. The Crick has examined the DNA of the two individuals in a Saxon burial at Cherington in our dig with @timeteam.bsky.social & @cotswoldarch.bsky.social & found that they were BROTHER & SISTER. Astonishing what science can do now.

🏺Genetic ancestry in a relatively unusual trans-Conquest (9th-11th century CE) rural cemetery from Surrey looking at the demographic impact or the Normans - spoiler potentially not much although the population don’t look entirely unchanged either. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our latest online magazine article explores shipbuilding in the 9th to 11th centuries. Using evidence from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, it challenges the idea that King Alfred the Great founded the English navy. 📃 Read now 🔗 : buff.ly/PIpN9ys #navalhistory #anglosaxon #militaryhistory #medieval #NRS

This was such a joyful and thought-provoking discussion. I need to be airdropped into a room of medievalists more often

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

I'm still too near my PhD award to participate, but for mid career independent scholars this is a fantastic initiative.

my proposal: every sport becomes biathlon (so figure skating they can pew pew as part of the routine, the sledding they have targets on the way down, the ski jump they have to take a shot at the peak of the jump and the highest shot gets a bonus)
