Archaeology students have discovered numerous artifacts from the 1559 shipwreck which indicate the Spanish's intention to estabish Pensacola as the First European Settlement in the United States.
On the wide (Park Trail 19) trail that used to be the main street of Gibsonville long ago, Christy/savage gardener and I came across a number of artifacts from the CCD camp and old Gibsonville that we had not seen on our first trip down there to Papermill Falls with Joe. There were odd pipes, stark cement abutments, a beautiful old well...and this. I'm sure it's from the CCC camp, based on where it was, rather than Gibsonville. Anyone have any idea what it could have been used for?
Bronze Age adze and my trowel for scale. This was recovered from one of the higher units near the mouth of the cave. Lapa do Picareiro is an important and rare site because of the deep range of time for human occupation.
In September of 2012 I visited a friend and spent 2 weeks there. We were able to take day-trips to Florence, Rome and other places. All pictures were taken with a 6mp Canon Digital Rebel dSLR.
One of our side-trips was to the hilltop town of Vetulonia. They have a wonderful museum filled with artifacts dating back to pre-Roman Etruscan times.

This bowl was found in 1966 on the banks of the Roanoke River between Occaneechi Island and Gaston Lake. It was reconstructed from 22 pieces of identically surfaced pottery. In the same trash pit in our five-foot square, we recovered a donut-shaped soapstone pendant. The Saponi town of Akenatzy was about 80 miles upstream.

Produced by maxing out Picasa 2's Fill Light slider on a severely underexposed image. I know - the picture still sucks, but I found the JPEG artifacts interesting (look at larger size).

Artifact as recovered by Carleton Wereley, circa 1913. He claimed it was a piece broken off a copper statue of a complete squid. The squid's suckers were all rubies. One is missing from this broken piece and was allegedly lost during 'some trouble' deep under the sea off the coast of Halifax, NB. Wereley affirmed this artifact could not have been hewn by human hands and postulates it was made by undersea creatures. The rest of the statue and its location have never been found and Carleton Wereley himself disappeared mysteriously in the mid 1920's.
The prepared artifact is now in the possession of the American Smithsonian Institute and has remained 'off display' for approximately 90 years.
Approximate dimensions: 5.5 x 1 x 0.25"

and so we come to the fifth & final subject of my birthday game (which you are still invited to play). like this card, i'm now a bona fide (bonified) antique. indeed, very young flickrers may not even know what a safety pin was used for half a century ago...and it does seem a little bit weird, looking at it now, to have that symbol sum up my very existence.
