Orbital archaeology! 🏺 🧪

On this day in 1962, Alouette 1 was launched. It was the first Canadian satellite, and the first satellite not constructed by the USA or Soviet Union. Launched to investigate the ionosphere, the mission lasted for 10 years but the satellite will remain in orbit for 1000 years.
A spacecraft with a geometric, polyhedral structure featuring solar panels, floating in space with stars in the background and several long, blue antenna-like extensions radiating outward.

I just got the grade for my M.A. thesis so I now officially have a Master's degree in Classical Archaeology! Still feels kind of unreal.

The British Museum posted Al slop and quietly deleted it. Here's what it was and why it matters.

Bears and archaeology. What's not to love? Especially coming at the end of #fatbear 🏺🐻🇪🇬

Fabulous fragment of an ancient Egyptian wall relief with three bears and an oil jar.

The paint has survived some 4,500 years!

My photo shows a circa 4,500-year-old limestone relief with some well-preserved paint in places, from the funerary temple of Sahure at Abusir, measuring 39 × 35 × 8.5 cm. It shows three bears (partial view only) and a tall one-handled pottery vessel, across two registers. The upper register at left, shows the two leds and hindquarters of a bear, and at right, a bear’s lowered head, chest, and foreleg, painted mid-brown. The lower register at left shows a tall, dark-reddish-brown pottery vessel with a long neck and single handle, and at right, the lowered head, neck, shoulder, and top of foreleg of a dark-brown bear. The bears wear collars tethered by ropes to looped fixtures in the ground. The fragment comes from a wall scene depicting tributes from the Levant. Bears were not native to Egypt. The bears represented are Syrian brown bears (Ursus arctos syriacus), which were quite common in Levantine mountain regions in antiquity. They were kept as exotic animals in enclosures by Egyptian kings, and also hunted.

Yet another example of everyone having to chip in to buy back our shared heritage.

 "this once in a generation discovery"

This time £74.000 was sought to pay metal detectorist and landowner for a museum to have the chance to acquire this Iron Age Hoard.

A remarkable discovery has been made near Bad Camberg in the Taunus Mountains, Hesse: a rare Celtic "princely grave" containing extraordinary finds, including a gold torque and components of a chariot.

An absolutely stunning photo! The 35m-long #Roman shipwreck, along with its cargo of 6,000 (!) amphorae was discovered in 2019 off the coast of the Greek Island of Kefalonia.
It’s one of the largest Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean.

A large accumulation of amphorae scattered across the sandy ocean floor. The amphorae are densely clustered, with many partially buried in the seabed, forming the distinct shape of a ship. The scene is illuminated by dim, bluish underwater light.
