In which I engage in some reckless speculation about feeding #bronzeage kingdom armies with bread and cheese, and why they aren't a good idea.

I read Eric Cline's book 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed (2014) on the end of the Bronze Age network of Mediterranean kingdoms. He has now come out with a new edition and a follow-on volume (After 1177 B.C.) —I've got some catching up to do. This offering by Big Think is a beautifully produced talking-head video with Cline outlining both books (1:43).

Bone Inner Structure Suggests Increasing Aquatic Adaptations in Desmostylia (Mammalia, Afrotheria) - Feddit.dk

tværpostet fra: https://feddit.dk/post/20761016 [https://feddit.dk/post/20761016] > Super old paper, but I’ve always noticed how the few videos on the subject sit the fence on whether they were semi- or fully aquatic and how there are very few illustrations of desmostylians and how many even depict them as semiaquatic. This paper argues they were “essentially or exclusively aquatic”, and it has multiple illustrations of different, proposed modes of life. > > [https://feddit.dk/pictrs/image/52fbdcb5-f7fa-48d2-b0c2-45632acf1fb4.webp] > >Various restorations of desmostylians based on morphological data illustrating the diverse lifestyles proposed. A, semiaquatic (like the polar bear) (from [17]). B, bottom wader (from Inuzuka’s restoration; the figure is printed with the permission of the Geological Museum, Geological Survey of Japan). C, bottom walker, Hippopotamus-like (from [73]); D, bottom swimmer, sirenian-like (from [22]). E-F, active swimmer, pinniped-like

Monumental ship burial beneath ancient Norwegian mound predates the Viking Age

Monumental ship burials in Scandinavia may have started around a century earlier than previously thought, according to a paper published in the journal Antiquity. It reports the discovery of the remains of a 1,300-year-old ship buried on the Norwegian island of Leka, predating the Vikings.

Bronze Age jewelry hoard found during wind farm construction – The History Blog
https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/75842

"Important finds include two very well-preserved house foundations from the Linear Pottery culture dating to the mid-6th millennium B.C. The Linear Pottery culture built the first farming settlements in Lower Saxony, so the remains, artifacts and soil samples recovered from this period will provide new insights into the earliest settlements in the region."
