Archeology thread

It's in Northwest Bulgaria, some 200 meters to the Serbian border.

And c'mon what was the culture like back then, did they use Naue II swords?

How where the settlements?

Evidence of long distance trade?

C'mon just say it

As most cultures of the period north of Stara Planina, the locals were more closely related to Central Europe than to the Mediterranean. There aren't many settlements excavated, but what we can say is that the houses were of wattle-and-daub, with a pretty solid in size yards; such settlements don't leave much of a trace. The necropolis of the settlement that we are currently excavating consists of urns with cremated remains. The graves consist of an urn covered with a bowl, pic related. The pottery is quite beautiful.
As for the weapons, I don't think we have many swords found within secure contexts, but I might be wrong. Most bronze weapons, tools and moulds in the country were found by villagers working their land.

hello friend

I sincerely don't get the level of focus placed on afrocentrism

> In the oldest written account, by an Egyptian named Uha, in the 23rd century BCE, he describes a mass circumcision and boasts of his ability to stoically endure the pain: "When I was circumcised, together with one hundred and twenty men ... there was none thereof who hit out, there was none thereof who was hit, and there was none thereof who scratched and there was none thereof who was scratched."

It was a practice of the upper echelon to be circumcised by high priests for a coming of age ritual.

Americans nowadays are fucking obssesed by races, its wonder they dont all turn crazy in this country

Woah..Is this...the power of...WE WAZ KHANGS N SHIIET...Whoah...

Its almost as if this diversity thing is pretty bad idea actually

No it's not the consensus is circumcision among archeological specialists

No it's because the racist policies for four hundred years that made everyone exceptionally aware about race.

I wish I could be an archaeologist, but I'm just a fag shit anthropologist who likes the lab work. The problem in my third world shithole to become an archaeologist is the bureaucracy, the rich chads and the shit job oportunities only for the academic elites...
Pic: fragment of Muisca pottery. ~1200CE

I once found what looked an awful lot like a radius or an ulna in between the agora gate and the bouleuterion of Miletus, when I visited as a tourist. I didn't see anyone who looked like a park ranger or an archaeologist, so I just put it back.
Should I have done something else?

I got an Iron bar, stuck it in the ground over a dig site, then I tied a piece of string to the bar, and at the other end I tied the string to a piece of wood, then I got a spade and dug a perfect circle in the ground, moving the stick end of the string around in a circle. Eventually I'm going to plant an Elderberry tree there.
