These were given to me by a relative for my doctoral graduation. I have the documentation around somewhere... I do remember that they date from the second century BCE onwards. If I recall correctly, the glass ampoule is 1st C CE, the Greek vase 2nd C BCE, and the oil lamp is late (4th C CE?). I will have to dig up the paperwork sometime.

Layers of enamel applied on a copper base. Enamel was etched for a matte surface. It reminds me of ancient pottery.
It's garbage day here at home. When the trash-truck comes around, small pieces of trash occasionally fall out.
I found of thoroughly flatten little artifact near my drive way. So, I had to grab my ProPack loaded with type 664 out of my car and take a shot at it.

I don't know what model this is. And I'm fairly sure it's not a recent one. But, is this what we've come to? Is this really progress?

This is a very early typewriter: a People's Typewriter. It was invented by C. Sjoberg of Brooklyn and was first produced in 1891 by the Garvin Machine Company of New York. This was an index typewriter, with the right hand moving the index... pointer while the left hand controls the print, space, and shift keys. Index typewriters were much cheaper than keyboard typewriters during the 1880s and 1890s. However, a big downfall for these machines was that this typing method was VERY slow...can you imagine? Not really very efficient for office work! This design was replaced by the improved Champion Typewriter in 1898, which featured a ribbon spool. Here is a bit more information and an 1892 advertisement for the People's Typewriter: www.antiquetypewriters.com/collection/periodad.asp?img=pi...
Could be a C stone doubling as a milestone on the Cornish side of the Tamar at Horsebridge West Devon. Marks a distance to Callington?

Is believe that this is a Coastal Mayan Artifact.
Archaeologists generally divide the Maya civilization into three main time periods:
Preclassic from about 2000 B.C. to A.D. 250;
Classic from A.D. 250 to A.D. 900; and Postclassic from A.D. 900 to A.D. 1521.
Metal button, probably brass, with an eagle perched on an anchor above which is an arc of 13 stars around the upper edge of the object. This pattern is that of the Federal Marine Corp. and should not be confused with that of the Federal Navy in which the anchor is larger and horizontally oriented. There is a raised border around the edge. On the back is stamped "Scovill Mfg. Co." around the top edge, and " Waterbury" around the bottom edge. The word "Waterbury" is separated from the rest by two stars. This maker's mark is consistent with the 1918 date. On the back a central eye for fastening is 0.25 " in maximum diameter. The button is in excellent condition except for tarnishing and measures 0.875 in. (22 mm.) in diameter and 0.2 inches (5 mm.) in thickness. Transferred from Box 6 of the Clara L. Lawrence Papers (Mss. Acc. 2009.299). Mss 2009.299.10

(NYT31) UNDATED -- July 17, 2006 -- IRAN-ARTIFACTS -- The ruins of Persepolis, the ancient Persian capital, in the early 1930’s. A legal case involving a 1997 terrorist attack by the Palestinian group Hamas had wound its way through the federal courts, with families of some of the American victims seeking redress against Iran, a Hamas supporter, by laying claim to Persian artifacts in a University of Chicago museum.

This tidy blanket roll is based on the title-page illustration of "Tales of an American Hobo," Charles Elmer Fox's 1989 memoir. Known as "Reefer Charlie" (a reefer is a refrigerator car on a train), Fox mingles personal reminiscence, a philosophy of liberty and responsibility, and a love for free travel by the scenic route.
The use of the blanket roll and other techniques for sleeping warm and dry outdoors echo the skills needed for wilderness travel and military service in the field. Hobo folklore stresses the values of skills for outdoor living and safe, successful travel, and the virtues of handling oneself and one's gear properly.
As my field trip was for my Etruscans class, we saw some Etruscan artifacts. I don't know much about them.

I was sending pixels as characters rather than bytes. Processing wouldn't send the upper half of Ascii so the bright spots came out as other colors. I was confused for a bit.
