Check out this video on archaeology of the Military Complex at Mission San Luis. Senior Archaeologist Jerry Lee's detailed presentation is illustrated with excavation photos and maps as well as photos of the artifacts recovered. All these items begin to tell the story of the residents living at this Tallahassee, Florida site more than 300 years ago!

The toy camera clicks through four pictures of tourist destinations, including a BC Ferries ship. There is a red felted devil doll laying behind with a sword through its heart. Sewed onto its face is a fabric photo of yours truly. The Faerie doll is a gift from my daughter, the red devil is from my partner. They are placed on the top ledge of the bookcase beside my desk.
The reconstruction comprises plaster casts, plaster, polystyrene, chalk powder, resin, and bronze powder
The original colossal statue of the Roman emperor Constantine (r. 306-337 CE), itself likely a reworking of an earlier divine statue, was probably installed in the west apse of the so-called Basilica of Maxentius in the 1st half of the 4th c. CE (perhaps 312-315 CE with reworking after 325). This reconstruction incorporates original fragments, casts of original fragments, and elements fabricated on the basis of other surviving ancient sculpture.
"The reconstruction of the Colossus of Constantine, conceived by Claudio Parisi Presicce, is the result of a collaboration among Direzione dei Musei Capitolini, Fondazione Prada, and FundacÃon Factum."

The Antikythera he Antikythera wreck is a shipwreck dating from the 2nd quarter of the 1st century BC.[1] It was discovered by sponge divers off Point Glyphadia on the Greek island of Antikythera in 1900.
The wreck yielded numerous statues, coins and other artifacts dating back to the 4th century BC, as well as the severely corroded remnants of a device many regard as the world's oldest known analog computer, the Antikythera mechanism.

I assume these were found during excavations for the railway and were to be placed in the museum at Corris.

==================
We came across this length of old rusty pipe protruding from the vegetation on the forest floor.
It is so engimatic. When and how did it get there, and why?
I did not try to remove it from its resting place. I didn't really see the point.
Some of the most facinating artifacts found here in the Grand Canyon are split-twig figurines..
.
Each one is made from a single twig, often willow, split down the middle, and then carefully folded into animal shapes..
.
These figurines date from 2,000 to 4,000 years ago and were found in remote caves. .
.
Often they are in the shape of deer or bighorn sheep, sometimes with horns or antlers. Occasionally, they are pierced with another stick, resembling a spear, or are stuffed with artiodactyl dung. Split-twig figurines have been found in dry caves in the Great Basin and on the Colorado Plateau, and were first recognized in the Grand Canyon in 1933. .
.
--While their exact function remains a mystery, recent research suggests that split-twig ----figurines were totems associated with the Late Archaic hunting and gathering culture. Their occurrence in remote, relatively inaccessible uninhabited caves indicates that these figurines were not toys. They are usually found under rock cairns, indicating careful placement..

A little sunflare for your Friday morning!
This is from Architectural Artifacts, and more pictures from the visit are on the last installment on my blog!

One of the artifacts on Mr. Mehlhose's desk was a copy of the Detroit Sunday Journal. Although not an antique (date is 1996), this publication reminds us of the last newspaper strike in Detroit during 1994-1995, which eventually resulted in their initial Joint Operating Agreement. Some of the senior staffers did not elect to join this new combination and therefore produced this independent newspaper for nearly two years. (Kevin Harrison collection)
This is half of a saddle duet, meant for a tandem! I designed it based on my current collection (in progress) called Artifact, which tries to recreate the look of chipped pottery, worn tiles, dense patterns and glimpses of brilliant hues. Stay tuned for saddle #2.

Archaeologists from the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, the University of Utah, and the Utah State History Department , teamed up to conduct an archeological survey of the Red Butte Canyon outside of Salt Lake City. Red Butte Canyon is a designated Natural Resource Area, managed by the Salt Lake Ranger District, with the University of Utah as a partner. Archaeologists and students spend 4 days combing the canyon for historic and prehistoric archaeological sites. The survey identified a wealth of historic era sites including water systems, roads, rock quarries, and structures, as well as remnants of pre-euroamerican settlement in the form of stone tools and the associated waste rock (lithic debitage). One such artifact is a late period arrowhead that dates in the range of 1,000 years ago. Credit: US Forest Service.
I discovered actual century-old artifacts during my pretend archæological expedition today: shards of blue and white Japanese ceramics mixed in among sun-tinted glass fragments. This area was once a trash dump during the plantation era, 1880s through the 1950s or so. Stephen Gould, co-author of the book Hawaiian Bottles of Long Ago told me that this particular "bottle dump" is widely known among collectors and was "thoroughly dug out" in the 1970s. Fragments of glass and pottery, however, remain common.
I thought it was amusing and somewhat ironic that I was actually finding century-old relics... which would have been "new" in the era I was seeking to portray with my outfit.
