3D Printed cuneiform objects from museum collections (h/t The British Museum and Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East for making their models publically available!) using UNB Library's Fabrication Lab. They were awesome to work with, the end results are fantastic. Can't wait to teach with them!

Spent some time improving this little tool... made a map of some Etruscan cities (and Rome): https://willismonroe.github.io/anax/?places=423025|Rome&places=423116&places=413032&places=413096|Clevsin&places=413373|Velzna&places=413248&places=413393&places=413332|Tarchna&places=403212|Fufluna

It looks like downloading/printing is going to be a big technical hurdle, so resizing the window and screenshotting is the best way to capture the maps for reuse. No real way around CORS-issues to render the maptiles locally into a downloadable file.

I didn't spend the whole weekend inside hacking on this project... I also took our boat out and went crabbing in English Bay. Caught three Dungeness crabs (not pictured) and boiled them on the beach during our Canada Day bbq. The boat is a

You can search the entire Pleiades catalog and add points to the map, and then rename them as needed (including unicode glyphs like cuneiform). All of your changes are saved in the URL so you can copy/share/save that URL as you need.

Thread: Introducing Anax: a long weekend project I hacked together. It's a map making tool using the Pleiades dataset (using a data-dump provided by @ryanfb https://github.com/ryanfb/pleiades-geojson), check it out here:
