I love when they do this! #archaeology

I’m amazed that the seeds actually grew!  I love this experimental side of archaeology.  The fact that we can replicate prehistoric tools, grow extinct plants, and recreate ancient beer recipes is truly amazing.

We have your back, France!

A reminder of the strength of the French people in this dark hour.

French civilians triumphantly march down the west end of the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe stands behind them, following the surrender of the German garrison in Paris and the arrival of General Charles de Gaulle to assume control over the city as head of the Provisional Government of the French Republic. Paris, Île-de-France, France. August, 1944.

This is almost too real!!

When you’re watching an archaeology or history special on TV and there’s one nut job talking about aliens…

And then, surprisingly, one competent expert talking about the actual facts.

This is about right.

Watching documentaries to justify procrastinating studying

Viva la France! Viva la Liberte!

A tous mes amis français, mes pensées vont vers vous et je vous souhaites courage et force afin de traverser ces moments difficiles.

One of the best photos from the Battle of Buna, a stuart tank of the Australian 2/6th Armoured Regiment supports prone AIF soldiers.

What the hell?!  According to the article, “They were working in the mountains of Albuquerque, on an ancient Native American burial ground that was rarely used as the scene of Hollywood films, O’Brien said.“They said basically, ‘Don’t take anything and respect the grounds,’ ” O’Brien said. “They were very strict about littering — and don’t take any artifacts, rocks, skulls anything like that.”Deadpan, he added: “And everyone just takes stuff, obviously.”

No, not everyone takes stuff.  If a tribe, government agency, what have you, states that you MUST respect the area and not take artifacts, you DON’T take anything.  It sounds like Dylan O’Brien, the cast, and crew are a bunch of disrespectful morons.

LOL

When you’re hired to do a deep woods survey and your client didn’t bother to warn you about that giant chasm, that blackberry thicket, that black spruce swamp, or that bear.
