Letter By A Woman To Her Deceased Husband, Discovered In The Man's Grave Along With A Lock Of Her Hair. Korea, 1586
The letter says: "You used to always say to me, 'Let’s live together until our hair turns white and die on the same day.' So how could you go ahead and leave me behind?"

I guess the question is rhethorical, but I'll answer anyway. One reason is "learning from the past", i.e. archaeology. Another one is accidents, like "this is where the new car park goes. oops!". In some areas that have been populated for a long time (like Rome or Athens, likely many places outside of Europe, too) it's hard to dig a root cellar *without* stumbling across some long forgotten parts of human civilization. And then there are lots of cemetaries where gravesites "expire", which means you either rent them for another 30 or so years or the leftovers get relocated and the space is used by someone else (see Paris catacombs, ossuaries or the terms and conditions at your local cemetary).

I had the exact same reaction when my bf died a few months ago. I was screaming at him calling him an a**hole for leaving me and angrily yelling all sorts of stuff about how we were supposed to grow old together. I still get angry at him a lot for leaving me to live on without him, after 14yrs together the idea of a future without him is devastating.

Bored Panda got in touch with archeologist Arie Amaya-Akkermans and he was kind enough to answer some of our questions. First and foremost, we were curious to hear what common misconceptions laypeople like myself often have about archeology.
“First of all, archaeologists do not excavate dinosaur fossils! That's the work of Paleontologists. And secondly, the myth that archaeologists are Indiana Jones types. It is true that some kinds of archaeologists, like physical and zooarchaeologists, deal with bones, but the information they gather from them, although fascinating, doesn't lead to the kind of spectacular answers people in pop culture expect.”

Throughout Roman Europe you can still find regions with a form of 'Wall' or 'Wahl' in the name. In these regions the original population was exterminated and the land was divided among former legionnaires. 'Wahl' means that Latin was spoken. Sometimes 'Wahl' means that there was a language and legal boundary here. (What is the name of the border that Hadrian had built?)

“Bones give a lot of information about a person's (or an animal's) nutrition, the economic history of their societies, their pathologies, circumstances of death, and the environments they lived in, but the question of human origins is still far away from resolution, especially because it cannot be solved -- insofar as our complex origins are composed of many different beginnings, and given that we created ourselves, we have many origins.

A Roman Bead That Was Recently Found By The Vindolanda Trust At The Ruins Of Vindolanda Fort In Northern England
Linden 2 years ago
I was curious about the pattern, here's what I found on Reddit: "Its a very complicated glass making process. You have your base colour, in this case blue set in an alternating pattern with the secondary colour. In this case the pattern would have been layed out as blue, white, blue, white, etc. This is then rolled up and heated. When rolled up, it formas a cane wich is then elongated, and cut. For even more detailed works, they would then make a secondary pattern using the first cane. In this case, they broke the cane into medallions, and then added that to the same blue base as before. It was then melted together and rolled into a bead. This is a very fascinating find!"

Archaeologists Have Made A Rare Find In Nördlingen, Bavaria: During Excavations, Experts Discovered A Bronze Sword More Than 3,000 Years Old
This is so well preserved “that it almost still shines”.
It is estimated to belong to the late 14th century BC and thus to the Middle Bronze Age.
The sword now discovered came from a grave provided with rich bronze objects. A man, a woman, and a youth were buried in it. It is still unclear what relationship the people may have had with one another.

Given how little we know about life in 14th century BC, I'd say this definitely qualifies as archeological excavation. I'd say in general that any excavation that has significant potential to teach us about periods for which we don't have good records would qualify. On a personal note, I'd say that anyone is welcome to dig me up should I end up buried, if it will have any benefit in any way.

For those wondering, Romans used the phallic symbol as a way to invoke divine protection, to ward off evil spirits, and to bring good luck. Soldiers as well as babies wore charms and images of the "sacred phallus."
“Archaeology in fact is heavily invested in de-bunking pseudo-archaeology because its theories are often, and not in completely transparent ways, connected with white supremacy around the belief that ancient non-Western societies couldn't be as technologically advanced. Lastly, archaeology isn't just about the ancient past. Archaeology could be sometimes also about the recent past, or even about the future, it could treat the 20th century as much as the Middle Ages.”

In 2000, Archaeologists Discovered A Long Lost Egyptian City Heracleion That Was Abandoned And Sunk Into The Sea For More Than 1200 Years
Among the underwater ruins were 64 ships, 700 anchors, a treasure trove of gold coins, statues standing at 16 feet, and most notably the remains of a massive temple to the god Amun-Gereb, and a tiny sarcophagus for an animal.
These magnificent statues were recovered from the depths of Aboukir Bay by the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology, under the direction of Franck Goddio. With the support of the Hilti Foundation, these statues have found their rightful place.

“The tools and methodologies of course would change, but today as much as archaeology studies the Babylonians and the Greeks, it is also interested in the modern ruins of Detroit or Beirut, the garbage of American cities, the bombardment of Gaza, or the social landscapes of mining. Christopher Witmore, a prominent American archaeologist, correctly points out that archaeology is the only discipline that has an adjective, "archaios" (ancient), rather than a noun, as its prefix.”
“From this, we learn how unconventional its position in the sphere of modern knowledge is. Archaeology is about human duration rather than antiquity (says another archaeologist, Dan Hicks). Archaeologists today are part of a cultural wave of materialists and posthumanists, including philosophers, environmentalists, contemporary artists, and social scientists, trying to understand our time -- contemporaneity, risk society, the imbalance.”

This Is A 2000-Year-Old Dog Paw Print
This is an approximately 2000-year-old Roman roof tile with a dog paw print on it. After being formed it was left to dry on the ground and a dog stepped on it while the material was still wet.
Found this in the Roman bathhouse museum in Heerlen, The Netherlands, while on holiday.
It's a museum built around the excavation site of the oldest building on Dutch soil. A bathhouse was used by the wealthy to enjoy hot and cold baths, pools, saunas, steam rooms, and massages. This particular one was discovered about 150 years ago in the Southern part of The Netherlands. The south part (up until the river the Rhine) was occupied by the Romans during the time of the Roman Empire.

LauraDragonWench 2 years ago
Persians in the 15th century CE created high heels to keep their feet in the stirrups. And they were exclusively worn by men. Traders brought the concept to Europe where male aristocrats wore them to appear taller and more imposing. Eventually, around the 16th to 17th century, women began wearing heels, mainly in the form of chopins (stilt-like blocks strapped onto the shoe in varying heights). Especially popular in Venice, chopins became so tall, maids would be used as crutches to help the women walk. Because the skirts completely covered the chopins, more fabric was used and therefore indicated the wearer's wealth. Louis XIV introduced the red heel and began the trend of color-coded heels designating one's social class (red reserved exclusively for royalty, of course). It was the French Revolution and similar revolutions around the world which brought about the "rule" that only women should wear high heels.
Naturally, we were curious to hear how he ended up in this fascinating field. “I didn't arrive at archaeology in the traditional pathway: I was always sensitive to archaeological material and discourses, and in general, thinking about the past, because of a background in Classics, but after many years working with contemporary art, particularly in the Middle East, I was excited by the ways in which contemporary artists engaged with the remote past,” he shared with Bored Panda.
“In a way, there was this intuition that it was a part of the present, materially, politically, and intellectually. This suspicion was confirmed by archaeological theory of the last thirty years. So I began becoming more informed about extended conversations between art, archaeology, and philosophy. In the end, it wasn't the excavations or the magnificent temples of the past that really blew me away, but a discipline that thrives in its own paradoxes, its uncertainty, and the awareness of the impossibility of many of its projects.”

I read York as New York and got very confused about why they were referred to as Viking-age. "found at Coppergate, the majority are made from horse leg bones although cattle leg bones were also used. The bones were cut flat and polished on one side and drilled with a hole at one end. A leather thong, held in place by a wooden peg, was inserted into the hole to attach the skate to the wearer’s ankle. The Viking invasion of York took place on November 1, 866 AD, and was led by Ivar The Boneless who along with King Halfden renamed the city Jorvik. This would suggest that bone ice skates were being used in England from the 9th and 10th centuries. "

This Is Why We Love Glacial Archaeology! See How Happy We Are When We Get To Hold An Arrow, Which Has Been Lost In The Ice For 1500 Years
The arrow was discovered between the stones in the scree. It was found near the lower edge of the ice, but was probably lost in the snow further up the slope. When it later melted out, it was transported downslope by meltwater and ended up on the ground where we found it.
The arrow has probably been exposed a few times after it was lost in the snow, as the fletching is gone and the sinew and tar are not perfectly preserved. Still, the preservation is pretty awesome.

“There are other disciplines that deal with this of course, but in my mind, only archaeology is preoccupied with how these things are experienced not only by humans, but also by our monuments, our landscapes, and even by things we cannot see, because they've been buried thousands of years ago, or 6 months ago after an earthquake, or forgotten in the trenches of a civil war. This paints also a picture of a science that doesn't have clear borders or objects of study, and well, that's true, it's one of its strengths.”

Executioner's Sword With An Inscription That Reads "When I Raise This Sword, So I Wish That This Poor Sinner Will Receive Eternal Life". Germany, Late 17th Century
Šimon Špaček 2 years ago
Yes, they had blunt end on purpose. There are at least two reasons, one practical and one cultural. Practical reason: It makes the tip heavier, so you will have a nice, clean cut. Nobody wants half-decapitated criminals, one swing is the proper way to do it. Cultural reason: Executioner is "unclean" profession, you don't want to use this sword unless you are executioner. You want to see on the first glance that it is the tool, not a sword for dueling, because in dueling stabbing is a very good thing (think about how armor looks. Cutting through a metal plate is impossible, no matter how sharp your sword is, so stabbing in an eye slit or somewhere under plate is much easier way to harm/kill the opponent.

Given the host of new things found every year and the fact that the past is finite, we were curios to learn just how much there is still “out there.” “I think the answer really depends on what one believes archaeology will find or ought to find. Is there so much more to say about the Egyptian pyramids, Babylonian cities, and the Mayas? Yes, absolutely. But the modern age, although it is the birthplace of archaeology, has also been incredibly destructive for archaeological sites. On the way to knowledge, we have plundered and destroyed so much. So my belief is that we should focus on understanding not only what we have, but also what we have done.”
“Modern archaeological destruction is part of the story that archaeology will tell in the future. There are museums that hold tens of thousands of artifacts that have never been studied, there's too much stuff, the publication is very slow, and major scientific discoveries are rare. We still don't have a clear picture of what we have done. I'm not advocating for an end to excavations, but we could definitely excavate a lot less.”

“Something that is fascinating right now, for example, is the application of digital archaeology and artificial intelligence to study archaeological sites and artifacts without the invasive, destructive nature of excavations. In fact, there's an incredible amount of archaeological knowledge we have from photography, video, and aerial surveys of archaeological sites.”
“I remember for example when David Gill and Christopher Chippindale, experts on the antiquities market, harshly criticized American curator Pat Getz-Preziosi's writing on Cycladic art, claiming that so many secrets of the Cycladic islands are yet to be revealed. But according to Gill and Chippindale, more than 80% of the sites have been completely destroyed by looters. So the archaeological imagination (and ambition) might be infinite, but archaeological heritage is very much a limited edition. An object might look in a museum, but a destroyed site cannot be fixed.”

Back In 2014, The Secrets Of The Ice Program Found An Exceptional Pre-Viking Ski, 1300 Years Old, At The Digervarden Ice Patch In Norway
The ski was complete, including the binding – one of only two skis from prehistory in this condition. Ever since, we have monitored the ice patch, hoping and praying for the second ski of the pair to melt out. Now it has happened! The new ski is even better preserved than the first one! It is an unbelievable find.

I like this type of measusrement as banannas can vary in size quite a lot.
“There are avenues that archaeology is exploring today which I feel are incredibly innovative and intellectually revolutionary. For example, the work of people like Christopher Witmore or Oliver Harris is very different from one another, and their ideas that the past is made by human and non-human things, and the implication for both theory and practice that we're not unique in the universe (as humans), neither are so totally differentiated from other species or from our landscapes and monument.”
“Rather, we have all emerged together, and are constantly evolving, in relation to each other, in really complex assemblages of time, memory, space, life, death, matter, ritual, etc. To understand these relations, at the very surface of our world, so full of contradictions and paradoxes, seems to me more interesting and adventurous than excavating our way down to the magma.” You can find more of Arie Amaya-Akkermans’ work on Instagram, X, and his personal page and you can find a link to the exhibition at the Sadberk Hanim Museum here.

They were originally written on soft clay tablets with the intention that they be wiped cleaned and reused.

Last July it was announced that they have created an AI program that can read and translate cuneiform writing.

The Imperator, of the Hamburg-Amerika Line (later commandeered by the US following the start of WWI, then eventually given to Britain's Cunard Line as reparations for the sinking of the Lusitania and renamed Berengaria) had a magnificent one made of bronze, in the form of a giant eagle. They actually mounted it on the bow because at the time, the Cunard Line was building the Aquitania, and it was feared by the Germans that it would surpass the Imperator by about 1 foot, usurping the title of largest ship in the world. This was in fact a misunderstanding, and Aquitania was never going to be longer than Imperator. There's a good youtube documentary that was released by Oceanliner Designs that covers in detail the great German ocean liners and provides a pretty exhaustive explanation of the Imperator (as well as her sister ships, Vaterland and Bismarck) which is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxQunfsqn3M

Arsenic is often found in natural copper deposits. Adding arsenic to copper makes a type of bronze that is stronger than copper alone. These days copper, arsenic and chromium are together impregnated into timber to resist fungal and insect attack.

The Mask Of Agamemnon Found In Tomb V In Mycenae By Heinrich Schliemann In 1876
Gold mask known as the "Mask of Agamemnon". This mask depicts the imposing face of a bearded nobleman. It is made of a gold sheet with repoussé details. Two holes near the ears indicate that the mask was held in place of the deceased's face with twine. The authenticity of the mask has been formally questioned due to the high level of detail, such as the beard and ears. No other mask of its type has a similar amount of detail.

The commissioner was Henry's brother-in-law and it was the second gift he gave, they seemed to be friends, certinly allies. It's a display piece, and not known if he was even intended to wear it. It is believed to be modelled after one o Henry's jesters, though bears similarity to a face of a playing card known as the Knave of Bells. It is also thought that the horns are not original to the helmet and are a later addition.

Migration Period Ring Sword, IV-VII AD
RedMarbles 2 years ago
(From Wikipedia) Ring-swords are characterized by a small ring fixed to the hilt. They came into fashion in the beginning of the Early Middle Ages, in the 6th and 7th centuries. They were prestigious, prized possessions, probably reserved for kings and high nobility. The ring is interpreted as a symbolic "oath ring". The design appears to have originated in the late 5th century, possibly with the early Merovingians, and quickly spread to England (from the earliest phase of Anglo-Saxon presence) and Scandinavia. Ring-swords disappeared from the archaeological record with Christianization, by the late 7th century.
