Broken glass found while turning up my garden, and saved all summer. I thought it looked a bit like an eye, and wanted to give it rays, but i am also poor and didn't want to use that much thick silver on a ring that is sorta far out. I made the frame and set bezel weight silver on top, hammering down around the rays. I like the effect, it reminds me of a certain gold god (mayan? aztec? don't remember)

Stuff like this echoes old poems like 'Ozymandias' (Smith), especially the idea of what future generations would make of the abandoned artifacts of our time, made superfluous wrecks by the years, rather than simply supplanted by progress.

These pelts are some of the tools used to help educate the public about many different aspects of wildlife, zoo's, conservation, and laws. We studied wildlife and the law during the 2/15 docent class. We also learned the difference between artifact vs biofact; preservation vs conservation; poaching vs unregulated vs managed hunting; and an overview of state, federal, and international laws.

"Iron Planking Spikes"
"Wrought iron nails and spikes have been manufactured for more than two millennium, and these examples from one of the 1565 wrecks are typical of those that were used to attach planks to the sides and decks of early sailing ships. These ubiquitous fasteners were created by hand on a charcoal-fired forge. A good nail maker was considered essential in times past, and if not for such blacksmithing skills few ships would have piled the vast oceans in their bold search for new worlds to explore.
Iron hardware was considered valuable, so costly in fact, that after a rotting ship had made a last journey to the New World, it was often burned to recover the large amount of fasteners buried within its useless wood. Burning did not damage good wrought iron, in truth high temperatures served to purge sea-salt from the porous metals as well as cause annealing for better strength. Timber was plentiful in the Americans, but iron was not, which was exactly the reverse of the situation in Europe. Much of the Old World forest had been burned to make charcoal... to produce the very iron needed for wooden ships! "
"Tool Points"
"At first these tiny bits of iron don't look like much, but each one of them served as the working tip for some kind of tool. The most common tools that used a small point were engravers and drills. Look closely at some of the jewelry and you can see tiny decorative lines that were cut with a small engraving point. Also, note that very fine holes could be drilled in metal with these same points."

On the west side of the forum beside the Temple of Jupiter were a grain warehouse (horrea) and a grain market (olitorium). These structures have been repurposed in modern times as a warehouse for the storage of objects recovered in digs.
