@marymackeyauthor.bsky.social'Amazing' work by late artist, John Piper, goes on display
One of his early collages was of the neolithic site at Avebury, a stone circle thought to be older than Stonehenge.
@ccsa-cuboulder.bsky.socialHis work explores long-distance exchange networks and their broader implications, often in collaboration with experts in sociology, economics, computer science, and the natural sciences.

@coromandelsunrise.bsky.socialI found this site by accident high up on cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, on St Agnus Island, the furthest South Westerly point of UK territory. No signposting, no information boards. Just me alone & 3 small Stone Circles. 1/2 #StandingStoneSunday #Megalithic #Neolithic #BronzeAge

@dogshistorian.bsky.socialIs it true that the Italian #Greyhound comes straight from the #Neolithic? Not true.
This is one of many modern myths debunked by genetics. The breed was created from a very small founder group between the late 19th century.
From my #book "30 Canine Mythologies".

@cmcevasco.bsky.social📷 Probably my favorite of the shots I took of the massive #Neolithic passage tomb at the burial/ceremonial site of #Newgrange (c. 3200BC) ... from a distance with birds flocking. Visited it a couple of weeks ago as an excursion during the @hns2026.bsky.social conference in Ireland.
