pandolinHey, ich druck mir gerade Formen für Mini-Ziegel aus Ton, will die im Grill brennen. Hat jemand schon mal so was probiert? Quasi Guédelon in klein. Ich dachte anh Steine etwa einen Zentimeter lang, 2-3 Stunden bei 300 Grad im Wber-Gasgrill? :-) #3DPrinting #TabletopTerrain #ClayBricks #Warhammer #ExperimentalArchaeology
Jules she/herWho wants to read about how some archaeologists from the #UniversityOfTennesseeKnoxville found an 18th century condom in an abandoned well, analysed it and then recreated it from sheeps' intestines using the technology of the time? No one? Tough, here's the article anyway.

b-unicylingPlaying around with magnets and 3D printing for a bit. For the record, the vertical magnets don't work (if I knew anything about physics, I would have known), so I'll just have to get smaller magnets and tweak the design.

Nam Henderson“These four multitools are artifacts from the Roman Empire circa AD 100–200. They are severely anomalous…There’s not a whisper about them in any historical document. Held in the hand, gazed at, it looks weird and it acts weird. Its decor is weird and its engineering is weird. It’s the weirdest multitool in the world.” https://bruces.medium.com/ancient-everyday-weirdness-591955f40a2d via @bruces re: #everydaycarry ancient #multitools + #experimentalarchaeology
Anthropology.netEarly Homo sapiens may have hunted with bows and arrows in Eurasia 40,000 years ago. New experiments show ancient bone points fit multiple weapons, challenging linear tech timelines. #Paleolithic #Archaeology #HumanEvolution #ExperimentalArchaeology https://www.anthropology.net/p/before-the-bow-had-a-name

Jens NotroffAbout 12 years ago, @clipo and Hunt introduced their #WalkingMoai hypothesis 👣🗿 about how the monumental sculptures on #EasterIsland Rapa Nui may have been moved from the quarries to their final locations, combining oral tradition and #ExperimentalArchaeology.
In a recently published "response to critics" in J. Archaeol. Sci. 183, 2025 they now present new archaeological evidence and experimental validation:

#BruceSterling*For a couple of weeks I've been carrying a model Hook around, looking for daily situations where it might be useful
*It's nice for perforating little metal tubes of superglue, for instance. Standard behavior in the Roman Empire of the Second Century. #reenactment #experimentalarchaeology
