@mrundkvist fin ljussättning!
@mrundkvist I guess they are "useful" photos for you, but especially the first two of them, they also look very nice.
@betabug
These won't be in the journal paper, it's the photographer enjoying herself. 👍
@mrundkvist I enjoyed myself too ... beautiful pictures, and then thinking that these things were made and used sooooo long ago, by people living back then.
@mrundkvist
Absolutely beautiful photos! The best photos of stone axes I have ever seen! 🤓

WOW that’s a circular hole

@mrundkvist

@clew
Cylindrical drill 👍
I have superbly designed and manufactured tools with which I have made much worse holes
@mrundkvist
Med kopierade gjutsömmar! 👌
@mrundkvist Old artifact photo trick (pre-Photoshop). Place your lithics over a white opaque plastic sheet with bright light(s) under. That will create an amazing background that feels like a digital edited picture.
