@robinpeters85.bsky.socialMy children & I built this 100 % accurate #LEGO reconstruction, showing what the funerary column would have looked like. 😉
Left: Igel Column near Trier for comparision.
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialDanke für den Tipp!
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialDa hast Du natürlich Recht Christian. Eine Blickrichtung nach Himmelsrichtung gibt es nur bei Profilen. 👍
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialFor decades, archaeologists have used north arrows 🧭on their excavation photos 📷.
Is there a digital alternative? Does anyone have any experience of determining the direction in which a photo was taken using a digital camera’s metadata (EXIF)? 🤔

@robinpeters85.bsky.socialDanke, wirklich ein Stück archäologische Forschungsgeschichte!
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialGreat example for historic human-nature interaction creating landscape resilience, which we are missing nowadays.
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialIt is astonishing how often, throughout history and across so many different cultures, death and sleep have been symbolically linked.
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialTruely amazing find. Wood was extremly important in the Mesolithic. It was probably more a Wood than a Stone Age. 😉
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialVillena, Vix, Albacete... Maybe we should consider whether museum exhibitions are the best place to protect priceless finds 🏺. Displaying replicas is also an option.

@robinpeters85.bsky.socialMonumental Roman inscription, found next to a Roman villa near Alt-Inden (D).
Sabi(na) was one of the heirs (H = heredes) of the deceased, who according to testament (T) had to have the funerary column erected, to which this inscription presumably belonged.

@robinpeters85.bsky.socialMy new favourite excavation tool! Hess Metalworks were so kind to hand-forge some of these leaf trowels (Stuckateuereisen) for us. Far better than the floppy stuff from the hardware store.😍

@robinpeters85.bsky.socialIn 2009 we made a whole calendar, "ArchäoÖrtchen", with toilets on excavations 🏺. Two of my favourites below: The flooded Wolkenwehe 2007 excavation by @uni-kiel.de and Gala Abu Ahmed, Sudan in 2008 with @unicologne.bsky.social.
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialDanke! Ich freue mich auf den Autausch! 🙂
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialHi,👋 i'm an archaeologist based in Germany and working on the prehistory of Central Europe. I would really appreciate beeing added to your starter pack. Thanks! 🙂
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialTo highlight from my POV: The hobby archaeologist stopped digging after he found several coins using a metal detector & called the Office for #Archaeology. That's why the hoard could be excavated properly. 👍
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialGreat GIS study on neolithic and bronze age burial mounds 🏺as markers of prehistoric paths. 👍
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialInstantly Ulli Lusts @ullilust.literatur.social.ap.brid.gy graphic novel "Early Man was a Woman" (Die Frau als Mensch) springs to mind.
You can find an interview with her by @andrewcurry.com here:
@robinpeters85.bsky.socialYes, it’s been a great collaboration with BoCAS. I’m very grateful for your expertise! 👍 btw: DNA results are still pending.
