I need archeologist advice. Nat found this bone in the river Great Ouse in a very shallow sand bar, I think its very old and possibly fossilised (based on colour and weight), can anyone help? #archaeology

Näher dran an die #TerrakottaArmee kommt man nicht und sieht so die unglaublichen Details - jeder #Krieger ist einzigartig, bis hin zu den Schuhsohlen! Auch wenn die Farben mittlerweile kaum noch zu sehen sind, hat mich das sehr beeindruckt. Es zeigt aber auch, dass auch damals schon größenwahnsinnige Spinner an der Macht waren
// You can't get any closer to the #TerracottaArmy than this and marvel at the wonderful details - each #warrior is unique, down to the soles of his shoes! The colours are mostly faded now but still, I was deeply impressed. It also shows that megalomaniac leaders aren't a recent development.

Stone tools found in East Asia challenge long-held beliefs about ancient humans’ technology. A discovery in China reveals that people were innovating 60,000 years ago, much like in Europe and the Middle East.

An almost 6,000 years old wooden cup, found in the Late #Neolithic pile dwelling settlement of Hornstaad-Hörnle at the Lake Constance. The waterlogged, anaerobic environment provided ideal conditions for the preservation of organic materials.

Michael Porter Mastodon! I'm delivering a talk to a couple of grade 9 classes in a month on the use of space (mainly satellites, but probes to other planets, comets, etc., will be included).
How does your work benefit from satellites?
I'm thinking of a direct use of the data, as opposed to stuff like “internet access” or “my bank relies on satellites to transfer my grant money from one account to another” 
Anecdotes, rants, personal stories are all fair game 
(To the inevitable suggestion that I just Google this, yes, I can, and have, but I want the human element - I want to be able to say "someone I ‘know’ uses satellites for their job, and this is what they like about the tech”)
Hashtag suggestions are welcome.
(Also - question: Does Mastodon discriminate hashtags with different capitalization? Are #Astronomy and #astronomy functionally different? We *really* need some kind of ISO standard 
)

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: A #Roman glass model of a #boat, dating 2nd c. AD. It was found in St. Aldegund in a 4th-century woman's grave. Six of such boats are known. We don't know their function: Were they used as women's urinals, as components of water clocks and sundials, as drinking cups?
Further information on glass boats:

"The reason for this hard decision is the uncertainty surrounding the development of the current political situation in Serbia. The authorities' recent response to peaceful student and citizen protests compromised the autonomy of universities and increased the pressure upon both teachers and students."

An elaborately decorated early #medieval double-sided bone comb, found in a warrior's grave in Fridingen (dating early 7th century AD). To protect the delicate tines, the comb was kept in a case.
Long and well-groomed hair was a status symbol.
