🏺| Sevilla destapa una necrópolis única de la Edad del Bronce con tumbas colectivas

[…]

«En una trinchera de once por trece metros se exhumaron siete tumbas en conexión estratigráfica. Entre las que pudieron identificar, tres de ellas se tratan de tumbas de pozos simples, con los individuos depositados en posición fetal sobre el lado izquierdo y con escaso ajuar. Junto a las mismas aparecieron dos tumbas de cista, construidas con losas de piedra colocadas de forma vertical y cubiertas por grandes lajas. En una de ellas se halló un ajuar compuesto por una vasija y restos de un cuenco, ambos elementos con tipologías que consideramos característicos del Bronce Pleno.»

A beautiful and poignant sculpture on one side of the base of an otherwise plain obelisk in the Necropolis in Glasgow. The only words on this memorial are 'Beloved Mother', and the name G. Mossman, one of the city's finest sculptors. Some determined digging by the historian Diane Burns, means we can now put a name to this particular mother: Agnes Strang.

At first glance, this inscribed stone in the southern wall of the Necropolis in central Glasgow seems like just another grave marker, but when you examine it more closely, you see it's something quite different.

It's the last of what were once three similar stones installed by James Martin, Dean of Guild, when the cemetery was being created in the 1830s by the Merchants House of Glasgow.

I was at a #Necropolis event last weekend. We've crafted display boxes in the morning, before an afternoon of games. It was really great. Necropolis is a real gem, not too complex, but allowing to have great games with tactical depth. The people I have met there were very friendly, and I hope we meet again someday.

At our February meeting (Sunday 1st February, ONLINE via Zoom) we welcome Dr Mélanie Flossmann-Schütze who will give a talk on "Animal cult in Tuna el Gebel: the animal necropolis and the priest settlements in Ptolemaic times".

The archaeological site of Tuna el-Gebel in Middle Egypt was the ancient necropolis of the capital of the 15th Upper Egyptian Nome and main cult centre of the god Thoth, Hermopolis Magna (1/3)
