I've started making a little memory box from my PhD. It's not finished yet - I need to fasten things correctly and add in some structure - but so far it includes a postcard from the Inuit Studies Conference, a beautifully carved piece of caribou antler that I bought from an Igloolik artist, and a seal skull. . The seal material used in the experiments that were mentioned in Tuesday's poem all came from an animal that had died of natural causes. I had contacted the Pieterburen seal sanctuary to the north of Groningen to ask if they had any recently deceased seals, and received an affirmative. As they are a sanctuary, they receive a lot of sick or injured seals, and while many of them are able to be released back into the wild, there are unfortunately those who don't survive. I was therefore invited to attend the autopsy of two such individuals, and could then take whatever material I needed for my experiments. (I should say that this was only allowed because I had signed a scientific research declaration - they don't just allow anyone to come and get bits of dead seal...) . I therefore got the skins from two seals to use in my sewing experiments (the poem for that one will be shared next week) as well as the bones from one to use as the raw material for the different kinds of tools I needed for my PhD experiments. I did not need the skull for my experiments, but the vets very kindly let me take it, as they would have just thrown it out anyway, and so now it sits on my shelf as a memory to the creature without who I would not have been able to complete my PhD. . A bit of an odd post today, but I wanted to acknowledge that experimental archaeology is often a messy business. What's important is to approach the acquisition of raw materials from an ethical perspective, and respect the animals who donated them. . #ExperimentalArchaeology #ArchaeologyLife #ArchaeologyLovers #ArchaeologistsOfInstagram #archaeology #archaeologist #PhD #PhdLife #skull #ArcticArchaeology https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZsCghqhKo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These beautiful marble statues can be found at the Carthage National Museum. This museum has so many corners and hidden areas that it seems mystical strolling through it. 🏛🏺📜 My favourite part was the pieces of marble on the wall. I observed the wall for a long time, trying to make out all the different figurines, columns, and stuck pieces. #archaeology #archaeologystudent #archaeologylovers #atchaeologist #archaeologylife #archaeologyfieldwork #archaeologyiscool #fieldschools #fieldarchaeology #traveller #travellife #traveltheworld #tunesia #tunis #carthage #basillica #christianbasilica #christianity #earlychristianity #colony #ceramics #collection #marble #sortingactivity #museum #unesco #conservation #heritage (at Musée national de Carthage) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd0Y_nJKyzJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HISTORIC TREASURE UNEARTHED IN KENTUCKY CORNFIELD!

In a jaw-dropping discovery, a Kentucky farmer stumbled upon a treasure trove of over 700 Civil War-era coins while tending to his field. Aptly named the "Great Kentucky Hoard," the find comprises predominantly of U.S. gold coins dating back to the turbulent period between 1840 and 1863.

In a video capturing the moment, the anonymous farmer marvels at the astonishing collection, showcasing $1, $10, and $20 gold coins emerging from the soil. Certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Co. (NGC), the hoard boasts rare gems, including 18 of the coveted 1863-P $20 1-ounce gold Liberty coins, each capable of fetching six figures at auction.

Experts suggest the coins may shed light on Kentucky's history during the Civil War, speculating that wealthy residents may have buried their fortunes to thwart Confederate raids. Conflict archaeologist Ryan McNutt highlights the potential wealth of information these hoards hold about past individuals.

McNutt emphasises the importance of collaboration between landowners and archaeologists for a deeper understanding of these historical finds. Without such engagement, these snapshots of the past risk being lost forever.

Time for the first #MondayMicrowear challenge of 2023! . For those of you who aren't yet familiar with this weekly challenge: I post a microscopic picture and encourage people to write in the comments what they think they can see. Obviously, I don't expect everyone to get it right first time - I've had a lot of experience with this analytical method and the materials. But I thought it might be a fun little exercise to get you thinking about what exactly it is you're seeing, and what the tiniest traces can tell us about an object. . So how does this work here on Instagram? Well, I post a picture on a Monday, and then you have until the next Monday to write in the comments what you think you can see in the picture. Think about things like: - what the object is - what material - what traces you can see - what they might tell us about how this object was made or used - anything really! . The aim is to get you thinking and put your detective hat on. Try to avoid looking at other people's comments, and don't worry about saying something potentially silly - archaeology is all about interpretation! . One week after the initial post, I will update the caption to describe what can be seen in the image, and what this can tell us about the object, so you can see how close you got. (Don't forget to check last week's post to see the results of that one) . Good luck everyone! . Also if you fancy subscribing to my (free) monthly newsletter, which includes monthly microwear challenges, you can do so through my website (link in description). . #MicrowearAnalysis #archaeology #archaeologist #ArchaeologyLife #ArchaeologyLovers #microscope #microscopy #MicroscopicAnalysis https://www.instagram.com/p/CnL_MR_KN6t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Women in Anthropology: ZELIA MARIA MAGDALENA NUTTALL

Zelia Nuttall was a Mexican-American archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and linguist known for challenging the existing perceptions and narratives of Indigenous -Mexican history and archaeology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 

She was born in San Francisco in 1875 to a Mexican born mother and an Irish father. She grew up in relative wealth and was educated at Bedford College in London. In Europe she cultivated her language abilities, especially in Spanish, German, and Russian. She married a French archaeologist and had a daughter, but divorced him in 1888 and turned her focus on her own career.

Nuttall began working for the National Museum of Anthropology, in Mexico City in 1884. It was here where she started studying the site of Teotihuacan and centered her research on small terracotta heads. She was able to date these to the Aztec period (1345-1521 CE), and determine that they were likely representations of deceased individuals (pictured below from her work "The Terracotta Heads of Teotihuacan"). This work eventually led to her receiving a position within the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard. 

During the 1890s she became good friends with renowned patron of anthropology, Phoebe Hearst who is well known for being the namesake of the UC Berkeley Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. Hearst became a benefactor for Nuttall and often helped to fund her research. 

Nuttall permanently moved to Mexico in 1902 and started working on pre-columbian manuscripts. Her most prominent work was on the Codex Zouche-Nuttall, a 14th century Mixtec manuscript that she helped to translate and analyze (pictured below). This codex was a facsimile, or recreation, of the actual deerskin book and it contained many scenes and narrative of Mixtec religion and culture.

*Brief aside: It is important to note that almost almost all the words that describe Indigenous peoples in the Americas (including the term America named for Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci) are rooted in a colonial history. Terms such as ‘pre-columbian’ or ‘Latin-American’ are quite widely used throughout all academic literature, but it is still important to acknowledge their origins and understand why they can be problematic. 

Nuttall strove to be an advocate for Indigenous Mexican traditions and worked to change their perceptions in archaeology. In 1928, Mexico held its first celebration of the Indigenous New Year since 1519. She passed away 5 years later in Coyoacán, Mexico.

Anthropology has a large history of racist methodologies and the common narrative toward pre-contact Mexican cultures cast Indigenous peoples as ‘savages’. While many white anthropologists and archaeologists of the time viewed Native Mexican peoples and cultures as “primitive”, Nuttall understood them as equals and as people that were intelligent and complex. 

It is necessary to note that her ideology is flawed and born out of a 19th century mindset. She thought about her archaeological work in an idealized and romantic way, championing the concept that all humans can share and benefit from the shared heritage of Ancient Mexico. While the sentiment is nice, it is important to remember that it is generally not the place of western scientists to have autonomy over the knowledge of ancient cultures. It is disrespectful to try and push this type of universal narrative, and instead Indigenous communities and peoples should have their own decisions on the knowledge of their ancestral cultures.

That being said, there is something incredibly important in the way anthropology and archaeology is articulated through the perspective of a woman of color. Zelia Nuttall diverged from the traditional way her male contemporaries viewed the ancient Mexican cultures and she was revolutionary in the field of Mexican archaeology. Though some of her ideologies are outdated now, she was essential in changing the legacy of colonist mindsets toward Indigenous cultures.

“لذّة النساء” هو كتاب منشور سنة 1850 في الهند باللغتين العربية والفارسية. يقدّم نصائحاً حول أساليب النكاح المختلفة، بما في ذلك التحفيز اليدوي لقضيب الرجل من قبل شخص آخر. في هذه الحالة، شابة جيدة الملبس. كان التحفيز باليد فعل تتخصصن به الجواري، يتمّ تنفيذ هذا الفعل الجنسي إما كمداعبة أو كنحكاح بغير إدخال. وبحسب المفهوم الشرعي لمسلمي الهند كان يتطلّب التحفيز اليدوي شخصاً آخر للقيام بهذه المهمة، وإلا فسيكون مجرد استمناء وهو حرام. ومن التسميات الواردة في كتاب “لذّة النساء” لهذا الفعل تسمية "حليب القضيب" ، لأنه يؤدّي عادة إلى القذف. ـ #arterotica #archaeology #eroticaart #archaeologyart #archaeologylovers #آثار #ايروتيك https://www.instagram.com/p/CMUs558hJ8C/?igshid=1rtvcrswxtb0n
